Innovation<br />
A technological breakthrough has its greatest impact when it enables<br />
people to do things they could not do previously, or permits them to<br />
improve the efficiency of what they already do. This can mean they<br />
achieve the same or a better result with greater ease, fewer resources,<br />
lower costs or while improving the safety or environmental footprint or<br />
flow of information.<br />
The first issue of ABB Review in 2017 will be dedicated to the company’s<br />
recent and ongoing innovations – breakthroughs that will<br />
improve the operations, ease, environmental balance or safety of the<br />
businesses of its customers. Topics covered range from a leakage<br />
detector for pipelines to wireless sensors for home automation, and<br />
from a new eco-friendly alternative to SF 6<br />
for gas-insulated switchgear<br />
to a new series of robots.<br />
