Power and automation are all around us You will find ABB technology… orbiting the earth and working beneath it,

crossing oceans and on the sea bed,

in the fields that grow our crops and packing the food we eat, on the trains we ride and in the facilities that process our water, in the plants that generate our power and in our homes, offices and factories
