ABB is a pioneering technology leader in power grids, electrification products, industrial automation, and robotics and motion, serving customers in utilities, industry, and transport & infrastructure globally. Continuing a history of innovation spanning more than 130 years, ABB today is writing the future of industrial digitalization with two clear value propositions: bringing electricity from any power plant to any plug and automating industries from natural resources to finished products. ABB operates in more than 100 countries with about 147,000 employees.
ABB Estonia was established in 1992. The company’s headquarters and factories are in Harju County, Jüri and nearly 1,400 people are employed here.
One of the factories, ABB Drives needed software to manage employee skills, worktime, and training, to take account of working hours, to keep track of costs, and to produce quality control reports. To do this, Uptime developed a solution consisting of four business modules. Some of the modules were quite complicated in terms of business logic and it took some time to complete the details, but the result was good.
Despite of the size of ABB factory, the development achieved a good collaborative model that was suitable for a large corporation but also ensured some agility to reorganize activities on a rolling basis. Although there were many active participants on the ABB side, agreements were reached, and choices were made very well. The project remained exactly within the deadlines.
Cooperation with ABB will continue with additional developments.
