In 1975, ABB launched its first variable speed drive, a groundbreaking step in motor control technology that would go on to reshape industries across the globe. Fast forward to today, and ABB inverter drives are at the heart of efficient, intelligent, and sustainable automation systems.
Now celebrating 50 years of innovation, ABB has released a short video reflecting on the evolution of its drive technology and the impact it’s had on everything from energy savings to productivity and system performance.
At APDS, we’re proud to be part of this journey as ABB’s only authorised Drive Service Partner in the South West and South Wales. For decades, we’ve been helping customers across industry and infrastructure get the very best from their ABB drives, from specification and commissioning to service, repair, and upgrade.
Why it matters:
Smarter motor control = reduced energy consumption and cost
Reliable performance = minimised downtime and increased productivity
Sustainable solutions = future-ready systems built to last
ABB’s commitment to constant improvement mirrors our own. And as inverter technology continues to evolve, so will we by bringing the latest innovations and support directly to our customers.
