ABB PRIORITIZES INDUSTRIAL OPERATOR WELLBEING BY DELIVERING AMBIENT WORKSPACE SOLUTION

ABB has launched its Operator Wellbeing Service (OWS), a digital solution that focuses on delivering optimal industrial control room worker environments and conditions.

Despite being mission critical for much of the world’s energy infrastructures and industries, the ambience of control rooms is often overlooked with many facilities outdated or not suitable for keeping operators alert at all times.

ABB’s OWS solution is designed to deliver safe, smart, and sustainable operations by enabling plant owners to investigate and measure air quality and noise levels in real-time, ensure lighting is ambient and meets current standards, and manage temperatures to help maintain employee focus and alertness.

Building upon ABB’s leadership in control room design, furniture and equipment innovation, OWS helps ensure a healthier workplace for operators as well as improved plant performance and safety.

Operator wellbeing is the key success factor for productive and reliable operations. Human factors form a fundamental foundation of the control room solution. When operators are happier, more alert, less stressed and much safer, the result is better decision-making and less downtime.
