ABB announces the launch of ABB Ability NGX Mine Hoist Control, a global control system enabling mining companies to achieve maximum performance and safety of hoist operations. Building on ABB’s past generations of hoist control systems, it brings new levels of reliability, flexibility and ease of use to smaller companies on 
greenfield projects or upgrades. It can also help larger companies reduce costs and improve efficiencies through standardization of control systems.
ABB Ability NGX Hoist Control, which is set to be unveiled at Euro Mine Expo 2022 in Sweden next month, is adaptable to any type of hoist and can be used in upgrade projects replacing third-party control systems. The NGX Hoist Operating Station was designed with the latest ergonomic and human factors engineering guidelines and is based on the latest human machine interface (HMI) insights, offering the most modern and intuitive operator interface.
It can be easily integrated with other ABB technologies, including ABB Ability Safety Plus for hoists – the first fully SIL 3 certified hoist solutions that ensure the highest level of safety – which was first commissioned in 2019 on some of the largest friction hoists. It is also compatible with advanced digital monitoring service ABB Ability Performance Optimization for hoists which continuously tracks the status of a mine hoist and improves uptime, availability, performance and productivity by providing actionable information on key performance indicators (KPIs) and provides remote access to ABB experts at all times.
