Zurich, May 18,2022 -- ABB’s Process Automation business area is hosting its Capital Markets Day in Helsinki, Finland, today. The business area is highlighting how it is raising long-term profitability by enabling industrial customers to manage the energy transition to a more sustainable future. This will be done through integrating its leading automation systems, industry-specific anchor products, sensing equipment, and sophisticated digital solutions.

蘇黎世，2022年5月18日——今天，ABB過程自動化業務部在芬蘭赫爾辛基舉辦了資本市場日活動。該業務領域強調其如何通過幫助工業客戶管理能源，提高長期盈利能力，過渡到一個更可持續的未來。這將通過整合其領先的自動化系統、特定行業的錨產品、傳感設備和綜合數字解決方案來實現。

One of the biggest challenges facing industry today is the shift of approximately 30 percent of energy from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources by 2050, while meeting the increasing demand for a broad variety of products to satisfy consumer requirements. Process Automation supports industries that address a wide range of essential needs – from supplying energy, water, and basic materials, to manufacturing goods and transporting them to market. Its customers include, among others, the hydrocarbon sector, chemicals, mining, metals and minerals, cement, pulp and paper, power generation, and marine and ports. These sectors are taking great steps to improve energy and resource efficiency while reducing harmful emissions.

當今工業界面臨的最大挑戰之一是，到2050年大約30%的能源要從化石燃料轉變為低碳能源，同時滿足消費者對各種產品日益增長的需求。過程自動化為滿足廣泛的基本需求的行業提供支持——從供應能源、水和基本材料，到制造商品并將其運往市場。其客戶包括碳氫化合物行業、化學品、采礦、金屬和礦物、水泥、紙漿和造紙、發電以及船舶和港口等。這些行業正在采取重大措施來提高能源和資源效率，同時減少有害排放。

Delivering on its strong organic strategy for its digital business, Process Automation today already generates approximately $500 million in orders from industrial software and digital services and expects continued double-digit growth in this area. The digital offering is centered around value pillars that capture the biggest value creation potentials to be achieved for customers through advanced analytics and artificial intelligence. The suite of solutions helps customers across industries predict maintenance, optimize energy, improve cybersecurity, and increase operational efficiency.

憑借其強大的數字業務有機戰略，過程自動化今天已經從工業軟件和數字服務中獲得了大約 5億美元的訂單，并預計該領域將繼續實現兩位數的增長。數字化產品以價值支柱為中心，通過高級分析和人工智能為客戶實現最大的價值創造潛力。這套解決方案可幫助各行各業的客戶預測維護、優化能源、改善網絡安全并提高運營效率。

“We are at the heart of some of the most important shifts in society at this very moment,” said Peter Terwiesch, President of the business area Process Automation. “We can make a real difference through our product and systems portfolio, all aligned with ABB’s purpose to transform industries to address the world’s energy challenges through leading technology. Apart from becoming more sustainable, our technology also helps our customers to continually improve productivity and run safer operations, which is very important, given that they operate some of the most essential and complex infrastructures on the planet.”

“此時此刻，我們處于社會中一些最重要轉變的核心，”ABB過程自動化業務總裁唐維詩（Peter Terwiesch）表示。“我們可以通過我們的產品和系統組合發揮真正的作用，所有這些都符合 ABB 的目標，即通過領先技術改變行業以應對世界能源挑戰。除了變得更具可持續性之外，我們的技術還幫助我們的客戶不斷提高生產力并實現更安全的運營，這非常重要，因為他們負責了全球一些最重要和最復雜基礎設施的運營。”

At the core of such operations, orchestrating the production process and optimizing energy management, is ABB’s automation system offering. Its Distributed Control System (DCS) has been the number one player in its field for the last 22 consecutive years according to an independent report. ABB has maintained a leading share of around 20 percent in 2021 in a market worth more than $14 billion and has built the largest DCS installed base and service business in the industry. The services provided to customers throughout the long system lifecycle, often decades, keep assets updated with latest technology, and the intimacy with customers’ operations allows ABB to continually improve production efficiency.

ABB的自動化系統產品是此類運營的核心，即協調生產過程和優化能源管理。根據一份獨立報告，ABB分布式控制系統 (DCS) 連續22年在該領域排名第一。2021年，ABB在價值超過140億美元的市場中保持了約20%的領先份額，并建立了業內最大的DCS安裝基礎和服務業務。在漫長的系統生命周期內（通常是幾十年），ABB為客戶提供的服務使資產保持最新的技術，而與客戶運營的密切關系也使ABB能夠不斷地提高生產效率。

Alongside its comprehensive portfolio, the business area is presenting its financials and how it has already lifted the profitability of all its divisions to double-digit margins through exiting non-core activities, tightening project selectivity, and strengthening execution. The business area now aims to improve further through pricing, bolt-on acquisitions, and continuous strict cost management.

除了全面的產品組合外，該業務部門還介紹了其財務狀況，以及如何通過剝離非核心業務、加強項目的選擇性以及強化執行力，將其所有部門的利潤率提高到兩位數的水平。該業務領域現在的目標是通過定價、收購和持續嚴格的成本管理來進一步改善。

ABB is currently planning to exit its Turbocharging division, now called Accelleron which is part of the business area. Without this division, the business area would have achieved revenues of $5.5 billion, an operating margin of 11.1 percent in 2021, net working capital of below zero, and a return on capital employed (ROCE) of ~20 percent, with about 20,000 employees in four divisions worldwide.

目前，ABB正計劃剝離其渦輪增壓部門，該部門現在名為Accelleron，是該業務領域的一部分。不包括Accelleron在內，ABB過程自動化業務2021年實現營收55億美元，營業利潤率為11.1%，凈營運資本低于零，動用資本回報率 (ROCE) 約為 20%，在全球四大部門擁有約2萬名員工。
