ABB

BONNER provides ABB automation solutions in Ireland, combining ABB automation technology with our own expertise in industrial automation, control systems, instrumentation and engineering.

We work with manufacturers and process industries to design, integrate, install and commission automation solutions around their operational requirements from ABB PLC and control systems through to ABB System 800xA DCS, SCADA, functional safety and plant-wide automation.

Rather than simply supplying automation technology, we focus on what the solution needs to achieve for your operation: improving visibility, modernising legacy systems, supporting reliability, improving process control and giving your teams better information for decision-making.

The technology is ABB. The solution is engineered by BONNER.

ABB Automation Partner in Ireland

BONNER is an ABB automation partner in Ireland, supporting customers with automation technology, engineering and technical expertise.

Our automation team works with your engineering and operations teams to understand your existing systems, processes and future requirements before developing an appropriate solution.

This means ABB technology can be integrated into a wider automation strategy rather than treated as a standalone product.

Our capabilities include:
 

ABB Control Systems

Your control system is central to how your plant operates. BONNER designs and implements ABB control system solutions that provide reliable control of production and process equipment while creating a foundation for future development.

We can support new automation projects as well as upgrades and modernisation of existing systems.

Our approach considers the complete control environment, including instrumentation, PLCs, communications, HMI, SCADA, safety systems and operational data.

The result is an automation solution designed around your process rather than simply a collection of individual components.

ABB System 800xA DCS

For complex process environments, BONNER provides engineering and integration support around ABB Ability™ System 800xA.

System 800xA is ABB’s distributed control system platform, combining process control with capabilities including electrical control and safety systems within a wider automation environment.

BONNER can support customers with ABB 800xA design, configuration, integration, upgrades and commissioning, helping manufacturers and process operators get greater value from their control infrastructure.

Whether you are developing a new system or modernising an existing ABB 800xA installation, our team can help you plan the appropriate approach around your plant and operational requirements.

ABB 800xA applications can support:

ABB Automation for Manufacturing & Process Industries
Our ABB automation experience supports customers across a range of industrial environments, including:

Food & Beverage
Automation solutions designed to improve process control, production visibility and operational reliability in demanding food manufacturing environments.

Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences
Control and automation solutions where reliable processes, traceability and operational consistency are critical.

Chemical & Process Manufacturing
Automation designed for complex process environments, including applications requiring enhanced control, monitoring and functional safety.

Manufacturing
Control systems, SCADA and plant data solutions that help manufacturers understand production performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

Medical Device Manufacturing
Automation solutions designed around the need for reliable, controlled and repeatable manufacturing processes.

Modernising Legacy ABB Control Systems
Replacing an ageing control system doesn’t always mean starting again.
Many manufacturers are operating critical processes on automation infrastructure that has developed over many years.

BONNER can help assess your existing system and identify practical options for modernisation. This may include:

Our focus is on modernising your automation without creating unnecessary disruption to your operation.

ABB’s latest System 800xA 7.0 release is specifically positioned for both new projects and modernisation of existing installations, with long-term support and a focus on maintaining continuity during automation upgrades.

BONNER’s combination of instrumentation and automation expertise means we can look beyond the control system itself. We understand the relationship between the instrument measuring the process, the control system interpreting that information and the people using the data to make operational decisions.

This allows us to support projects across the complete measurement and control chain.
From instrumentation and calibration through to PLCs, SCADA, DCS and plant-wide data, we can help create a more connected and reliable operational environment.
This integrated approach is central to BONNER’s automation offering.

ABB Automation, Engineered by BONNER
The value of an automation platform comes from how effectively it is applied to your operation.

BONNER provides engineering support throughout the project lifecycle, including:
Consultation > System Design > Engineering > Programming > Panel Build > Installation > Commissioning > Support

Our team can work alongside your existing engineering and maintenance teams, providing the specialist automation expertise required while keeping your people involved in the project.

This approach gives you a technical partner who understands both the technology and the environment in which it needs to operate.

ABB Automation Case Studies

Carbon Group – Ringaskiddy 

BONNER has delivered automation projects at Carbon Group’s chemical manufacturing facility in Ringaskiddy since 2019.

The work has included control systems, plant-wide SCADA, environmental monitoring, energy monitoring, secure remote access and functional safety within a live chemical manufacturing environment.

The relationship demonstrates how BONNER works with customers over the longer term, building on existing automation infrastructure as operational requirements evolve.

We combine global automation technology with local engineering expertise to deliver solutions around your operation.

Whether you are planning a new automation system, upgrading an existing ABB 800xA installation, replacing legacy controls or looking to improve visibility across your plant, BONNER can help you identify the right approach.
