ABB's My Measurement Assistant+ Enhances Global Industrial Service Efficiency

ABB has been recognized as a finalist in the Tech Excellence Awards for its innovative My Measurement Assistant+ platform, which is nominated in the Transformation of the Year category. This recognition highlights the increasing importance of digitalization and advanced technology solutions in industrial operations. The awards, now in their 22nd year, celebrate significant achievements in IT and technology across the country, underscoring the competitive landscape in which companies like ABB operate.

My Measurement Assistant+ is an industrial Internet of Things (IoT) web application that serves customers in over 100 countries. The platform leverages artificial intelligence to provide continuous support, diagnostics, and technical expertise, significantly simplifying the maintenance of industrial devices. In Sweden, where five percent of the platform's global users are located, My Measurement Assistant+ plays a crucial role in critical applications, such as water purity analysis and industrial emissions monitoring. This capability not only ensures compliance with regulations but also enhances operational efficiency for users.

David Lincoln, Digital Lead at ABB’s Measurement & Analytics division, emphasized the platform's innovative integration of generative AI with device-specific context, dynamic QR codes, and comprehensive service workflows. Unlike traditional solutions that merely incorporate AI chatbots, My Measurement Assistant+ functions as a connected digital assistant, providing a holistic support experience for industrial measurement devices. This advancement reflects a broader trend in the industry toward more intelligent, user-friendly solutions that facilitate real-time decision-making and operational improvements.

The platform is also integrated with ABB Genix™ Copilot, a generative AI solution developed in partnership with Microsoft. This collaboration aims to help industrial firms enhance efficiency, productivity, and sustainability by contextualizing vast amounts of operational data. By offering conversational support in multiple languages, including Spanish, German, and Chinese, My Measurement Assistant+ broadens its accessibility, allowing ABB to cater to a diverse global customer base. The ability to resolve technical issues quickly—often within minutes—positions ABB favorably against competitors who may not offer similar levels of responsiveness and support.
