  • The development is rooted in the long-term strategic partnership ABB established in 2022 with Samotics, the leading provider of condition monitoring technology based on Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA).
  • Global launch at ADIPEC 2025 marks a new era in digital powertrain monitoring, enabling legacy drives to be upgraded to unlock advanced analytics — quickly, seamlessly and cost-effectively.
  • Integrating ESA technology in high power drives turns modernization into a digital transformation catalyst for industrial assets. These include motors, pumps, fans, mixers and conveyors operating in hot, toxic or hard-to-access environments, previously regarded as unmonitorable.
  • ESA technology and vibration analysis complement each other to deliver the most complete view of powertrain health – early fault detection, quick service support and higher reliability, for enhanced uptime.

 

ABB is raising the bar regarding the modernization of variable speed drives (VSDs), transforming them into a gateway for predictive maintenance of the entire powertrain.1 The service, launched today at ADIPEC 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, embeds Samotics-powered Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) technology into legacy drives.
