System 800xA extends the scope of traditional control systems to include all automation functions in a single operations and engineering environment so that plants/mills can run smarter and better at substantial cost savings.

    "With Industrial IT System 800xA Extended Automation, our customers will achieve dramatic and continuous productivity improvements at all levels of their automation operations," said Robert Hausler, vice president Industrial IT Marketing, ABB Inc. "System 800xA provides our customers with the ability to do much more with their automation systems than they could in the past.
