ABB unveils Ability BuildingPro

ABB has launched ABB Ability BuildingPro, a cybersecure integration platform designed to connect, manage and optimise building operations.

Available across more than 40 countries worldwide, the solution supports key sectors including commercial real estate, education, healthcare, hospitality and government – helping organisations accelerate decarbonisation and digital transformation. 

Acting as a central intelligence hub, it unifies data from building systems to improve performance, reduce energy use and enhance occupant experience. Built on openBOS, the platform’s open, edge-based architecture delivers seamless interoperability, advanced cybersecurity – fully compliant with the latest international cybersecurity standards and regulations – and the flexibility to integrate future AI-driven tools. This makes ABB Ability BuildingPro a future-ready foundation for digital transformation in buildings of all types. 

ABB Ability BuildingPro Vision

As part of the launch, ABB is introducing ABB Ability BuildingPro Vision and ABB Ability BuildingPro Edge Series, two integrated solutions that bring the platform’s capabilities to life. Working together, they empower building owners, operators and system integrators to monitor, control and optimise performance in real time – across a single building or entire portfolios. 

Lucy Han, Business Line Leader, Building Automation, ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division, said:

“Buildings today need to do more; they need to be smart, adaptive, sustainable and secure. With ABB Ability BuildingPro, we are helping our customers take control of their building data, make smarter decisions in real time and accelerate their journey toward decarbonisation – all while creating more comfortable, productive spaces for people.”   

BuildingPro Vision – Building Page

ABB Ability BuildingPro Vision gives facility teams an intuitive, live view of building operations. Through a dynamic, web-based interface – complete with animated floor plans, asset views and dashboards – it enables real-time monitoring and control of key systems and spaces from a single platform. With its accessible design and local or cloud deployment options, Vision empowers operators to make faster, smarter decisions on-site. 

The ABB Ability BuildingPro Edge Series are powerful hardware controllers that collect and process local building data. Designed for secure connectivity between on-site systems and the cloud, they also support future predictive analytics and AI-driven automation.  Buildings account for around 30% of global energy consumption and 26% of emissions. By helping customers visualise and act on their energy data, ABB Ability BuildingPro provides a tangible way to reduce consumption, lower costs and accelerate progress towards sustainability goals. Beyond energy performance, the BuildingPro platform – together with its Vision software and Edge devices – also helps create healthier, more comfortable environments while strengthening cybersecurity and operational resilience.  

BuildingPro Vision – Interactive Floor Plans

As buildings evolve and sustainability targets tighten, ABB Ability BuildingPro helps customers meet new demands with flexible, scalable technology that protects long-term investments as building technologies and regulations continue to advance. Built on an open, cybersecure architecture, the platform integrates effortlessly with both legacy devices and next-generation smart technologies – supporting widely adopted industry protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, KNX, LonWorks and MQTT. By combining edge and cloud technology, open data standards and smart digital tools, ABB is reinforcing its commitment to creating smarter, more sustainable spaces.
