ARC表示ABB继续雄踞DCS市场首位

ARC Advisory Group has released their Distributed Control Systems Worldwide Outlook report for 2013 in which ABB has retained its leading position in the worldwide DCS (distributed control system) market. According to the study, the global DCS market grew about 4 percent in 2013.

ARC顾问集团发布的《2013年分布式控制系统全球展望》报告指出，ABB仍然占据全球DCS市场的领先地位。根据这份报告，2013年全球DCS市场大约增长4%。

According to the study, ABB was the regional market share leader for Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and the worldwide leader in key global verticals including oil and gas, pulp and paper, mining and metals. 

报告显示，ABB是拉丁美洲、欧洲、中东及非洲（EMEA）地区市场份额的领头羊，在全球市场，包括石油和天然气、纸浆和造纸、采矿和金属等主要垂直行业也是领导者。

The report also notes that the DCS business has continued to be primarily a service business over the past few years, with combined project, engineering and operational services accounting for more than half of total revenues. The Main Automation Contractor (MAC) approach in which the automation vendor manages the overall project and includes a strong project execution and services component, continues to grow stronger and expand.

该报告还指出，DCS业务在过去几年仍然是主要的服务业务，综合项目、工程和运营服务占比超过总收入的一半。自动化供应商以主自动化承包商（MAC）的方式管理整个项目，包括一个强有力的项目执行和服务组件，在不断发展壮大和扩展。

“For years ABB has cultivated its capability to serve major projects as the Main Automation Contractor.”, said ARC Senior Analyst Harry Forbes.  “The electric power, motor, and drive capabilities across ABB Group augment its process automation expertise, making the firm an attractive choice when capital projects require large or complex electric power systems, especially offshore and sub-sea systems.” 

“多年来，ABB不断增强其作为主自动化承包商服务重大项目的能力。”ARC高级分析师Harry Forbes说道，“ABB集团的电力、电机及驱动实力增强了其过程自动化专业技术，这就使得那些需要大型或复杂的电力系统，尤其是海上和海底系统的资本项目，ABB无疑是一个颇具吸引力的选择。”

"ABB is well prepared with a broad DCS portfolio including its flagship system 800xA Extended Automation platform, Symphony Plus control system, Freelance process control system for small to medium process applications, as well as its prior generation systems. All ABB control systems offer a secure evolution path forward to next generation technologies to protect and enhance the control system investment over its lifetime” said Tobias Becker, Head of ABB’s Control Technologies business.

ABB控制技术业务部负责人Tobias Becker表示：“ABB储备了广泛的DCS产品组合，包括其旗舰系统800xA扩展自动化平台，Symphony Plus控制系统，适用于中小型过程应用的Freelance过程控制系统，及其前代系统。所有的ABB控制系统为过渡到下一代技术提供一个安全的推进路径，从而保护和提升了在控制系统生命周期的投资。”
