AI-assisted diagnostics

Remote Condition Monitoring is now integrated with ABB’s My Measurement Assistant+ (MMA+) and Genix Copilot AI. Remote Condition Monitoring provides continuous analyser-health monitoring and reporting, while My Measurement Assistant+ gives users centralised fleet-wide visibility and access to historical device information. While Genix Industrial DataOps provides conextual data  and intelligence foundation, Genix Copilot AI interprets analyser-health data and reports, providing diagnostic guidance that helps operators identify potential issues and determine appropriate next steps. Together, these capabilities are designed to help maintenance and operations teams respond more quickly to analyser issues, reduce unplanned downtime and minimise the need for specialist site visits.

Continuous analyser availability is critical for industries operating under stringent emissions regulations, including power generation, waste-to-energy, cement, metals, oil and gas, and chemicals. At the same time, skills shortages and increasingly complex emission monitoring requirements are placing additional pressure on maintenance and operations teams. RCM continuously monitors the health of the CEMS system sending automated scheduled reports, event triggered reports and on-demand health reports, supporting device availability and record keeping for regulatory purposes.

Through MMA+, users can access a full fleet overview in one dashboard with device status and information, health reports and historical data in one place, while Genix Copilot interprets health data and provides diagnostic guidance in seven languages. This can help operators investigate potential root causes and determine appropriate next steps, with ABB experts available to provide remote support where further assistance is required.

“Keeping emission monitoring systems running reliably is critical, but identifying the cause of an issue can still require specialist knowledge and time,” said David Lincoln, digital lead at ABB’s Measurement and Analytics division. “With the latest version of RCM, we’re combining continuous monitoring with AI-powered guidance to help operators spot issues earlier, understand what is happening and take action faster. This supports a shift from reactive troubleshooting toward prescriptive maintenance and a more proactive approach to analyser health and compliance.”

RCM also supports compliance-related record keeping by automatically creating an evidence log of device health status. Reports can be securely stored on-premise or within MMA+, providing an accessible history of analyzer performance and events to support audits and regulatory reporting.

For operators already using ABB’s ACF5000 CEMS, RCM forms part of a wider digital measurement and service offering, connecting continuous measurement and condition monitoring with AI-powered diagnostics and ABB’s global service expertise. Operators can benefit from automatic recording and saving of health reports and service history, supporting emissions compliance year-round. The integration creates a complete end-to-end solution for industries, with the recently launched ACF5000 LCS (Low CEMS Specialist) standing as the only certified low-range CEMS solution built to meet the European IED 2.0.
