ABB has integrated its generative AI solution, ABB Ability Industrial Knowledge Vault (IKV), with ABB Ability Energy Management System (EMS). The combined offering enables EMS users to access energy and sustainability insights through natural language interaction, enhancing dashboards, analytics and reporting capabilities.
By bringing IKV’s copilot functionality into EMS, operators, energy managers and sustainability teams can ask questions directly about energy usage, emissions drivers, cost factors and equipment performance. This removes the need to navigate multiple dashboards, apply extensive filters, export data or compile reports manually. ABB said EMS Copilot supports faster interpretation of operational energy data, while retaining the transparency and rigor required for industrial decision-making.
“Industrial organizations are under increasing pressure to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions and strengthen operational resilience,” said Sanjit Shewale, global head of digital for ABB’s Process Industries division. “By integrating generative AI capabilities into our Energy Management System, we are empowering teams to access the insights they need for faster, more informed decisions, without adding complexity to day-to-day operations.”
IKV was launched to help industrial organizations retain and safeguard critical expertise by capturing and structuring information into a centralized repository that can be accessed through natural language conversations. Industrial Knowledge Vault supports the creation of actionable procedures and step-by-step workflows to help workers apply best practices more efficiently and preserve safe operations.
