How does ABB leverage the Elasia event to enhance customer understanding and engagement with its latest global technologies?
ABB is using Elasia’s opportunity to showcase our latest global technologies. The large customer footfall that Elasia garners at the event will enable customers to physically view and feel the products on display and also get answers to any of their technical queries. This will help them gain a good understanding of the company and its product offerings. It also allows them to experience the products’ unique features in real time through exciting product demonstrations.
Moreover, customers can walk through the products and get a proper touch and feel, which helps them visualise their usage in their own projects. Numerous users, including experienced and freshers, attend the event, which enhances the visibility of the new and developing technologies in electrification.
How does your product lineup support sustainability objectives, and are there any forthcoming product launches?
ABB has a proud history of technological innovation. We have not only pioneered but also invented several automated technologies, which have enabled us to maintain our market leadership. Sustainability is one of our top priorities, as it is already playing a pivotal role in the industry’s overall development and helping to align it to the future of circularity.
All our manufacturing locations are well aligned on sustainability goals. Most are water-positive, follow zero waste to landfill, incorporate renewable energy, and have office buildings that are high in energy efficiency. Apart from the existing product display, we will unveil new versions of our product line now. We will continue to showcase the latest in technology, and there are a slew of new launches planned during Elasia, which customers will find exciting and useful.
