I am very happy to report from Shanghai where we are marking the 20th anniversary of our instrumentation factory. The Shanghai factory has supported the rapid growth of the automation market in China as well as the country’s economic development since 2004. More recently, it also started serving ABB’s international customers. 20 years ago, the factory started with the manufacturing of a single product, one of ABB’s iconic pressure transmitters. Today, here we make pressure, flow, level, temperature sensors, and some analytical products. Through the years, the factory has continuously pushed boundaries to manufacture high-performance instrumentation that helps measure, analyze, control and improve a wide range of industrial processes. Among the products made here are some of ABB’s most advanced instrumentation solutions, including AquaMaster 4 Mobile Comms, the world’s first electromagnetic flowmeter with bidirectional connectivity as well as the FSS400 Swirl and FSV400 Vortex flowmeters, ABB’s first flowmeters with Ethernet-APL connectivity. In addition to developing engineering and manufacturing know-how, the factory has invested in digitalization, smart technologies and expansion of calibration capabilities. Congratulations on a huge milestone to Susan Pan, Hymer Wen and every employee of the Shanghai factory! Let’s keep the momentum going. Let’s continue to focus on quality and innovation, and let’s remain a reliable partner to our customers. #ABB #MeasurementAndAnalytics #China #EngineeredToOutrun
