Clicks: 76. ABB has recently signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Yitai Group, a well-known Chinese coal production and deep processing enterprise, to further strengthen their partnership. Together, they will develop and implement intelligent factory demonstration projects for Yitai Group’s existing and new facilities, and work together to expand the use of intelligent factories in the coal chemical industry both domestically and internationally. Under the agreement, ABB will provide comprehensive intelligent solutions for the upgrading of the intelligence levels of Yitai Group’s existing factories, as well as for new factory projects based on an integrated approach to electrical systems, control systems, instrumentation, and communication systems (ECIT). This will help Yitai Group break down the \"information silos\" within its factories, establish data connections between various systems, and utilize big data and coordinated operations to improve production efficiency and profits, while reducing investment and operational costs as well as minimizing the need for additional staff. In addition, in the future ABB will form a partnership with Yitai Group, leveraging the strengths of both parties in their respective fields to jointly expand the intelligent market in the coal chemical industry, both domestically and internationally. This is another significant achievement by ABB in using its digital capabilities to create value for customers, and in working closely with them in specific industries to achieve mutual success. ABB signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement for an intelligent coal chemical factory with Inner Mongolia Yitai Group. Dr. Gu Chunyuan, President of ABB’s Asia, Middle East and Africa region as well as Chairman and President of ABB (China) Co., Ltd., said in his speech: “Currently, a new round of technological upgrades and industrial transformations is bringing about rapid changes in the industrial sector, with digital and intelligent technologies having become key drivers and directions for global industrial change.” Through this partnership, ABB combines its cutting-edge technologies and practical solutions with Yitai Group’s expertise in the coal chemical industry, working together to help coal chemical enterprises accelerate their digital transformation and intelligent development, thereby enhancing their competitive strength in the global market. ” Colin Ward, head of ABB’s chemicals and refining business, said, “Currently, the entire oil and gas as well as chemicals industry is in a period of transformation.” To achieve robust growth during the Fourth Industrial Revolution and remain competitive, leaders in the petrochemical industry need to be aware of the challenges from both external and internal sources. ABB Ability™ digital solutions, combined with ABB’s over 50 years of experience in the global petrochemical industry, represent the best choice for addressing and overcoming these challenges. ” Ms. Zhang Daihua, the person in charge of the Yitai Coal Chemicals Smart Factory project and deputy general manager of Yitai Group’s Coal Chemicals Management Department, said: “Yitai Group is committed to using advanced science and technology to make the modern coal chemicals industry larger, stronger, and more sophisticated over time.” At the same time, we are also under pressure to improve economic efficiency and compete in a highly competitive market. Yitai Group hopes to leverage ABB’s digital solutions and services to achieve intelligent control and optimized management of its factories, thereby reducing production costs, ensuring safety, improving operational efficiency and the level of informatization, and truly realizing the integration of traditional and digital technologies as well as intelligent upgrading. ” Established in 1988, Yitai Group is a large-scale clean energy enterprise that focuses on coal production, transportation, and sales, integrating railway operations and coal chemical processing. It also engages in non-coal industries such as real estate development, ecological restoration, and organic agriculture as complementary activities. In the 2017 list of China’s top 500 enterprises, it ranked 348th, while it was ranked 19th among China’s top 50 coal enterprises. In the field of coal chemical industry, Yitai Group is at the leading level both domestically and internationally in terms of research and development as well as the industrialization of coal indirect liquefaction.
