ABB Recognized as a Leader in 2025 Verdantix Green Quadrant for Industrial AI Analytics

Summary

Oct. 3, 2025 – ABB has been named a Leader in the Verdantix Green Quadrant: Industrial AI Analytics Software 2025, a benchmark report that evaluates the capabilities and momentum of the most prominent industrial AI analytics software solutions on the market. The report ranked ABB among the top leaders in the Quadrant.

The Verdantix report, based on rigorous analysis of 19 vendors, highlights ABB’s Genix Industrial IoT and AI Suite for its comprehensive data integration, advanced model development and industry-leading energy management capabilities.

“We are honored to be recognized as a Leader in the Verdantix Green Quadrant report for industrial AI analytics software,” said Rajesh Ramachandran, global chief digital pfficer, Process Automation, ABB. “We are committed to empowering our customers across energy- and resource-intensive industries with scalable, AI-driven solutions that deliver operational excellence and measurable improvements in efficiency, reliability and sustainability. Genix is helping industrial operators–from the shop floor to the top floor–unlock the value of their data, accelerate digital transformation and achieve tangible business outcomes with industrial AI.”

Genix is an enterprise grade platform that provides seamless integration and contextualization of real-time data from operational technology (OT), information technology (IT) and engineering technology (ET) systems. Its semantic contextualization layer–Industrial DataOps–empowers multi-system analytics, earning ABB a top score in the Verdantix report for data acquisition and integration. As part of its modular industrial AI portfolio, Genix offers Genix AI Express and Genix Copilot, enabling scalable and flexible deployment of AI across industrial operations.

The report also recognizes ABB’s strengths in advanced model development capabilities. For model development and training, ABB combines low-code/no-code tools–such as automated machine learning (AutoML) flows, feature stores and reusable templates–with notebook-based workflows and machine learning operations (MLOps) for deployment and monitoring, garnering the company a top score.

ABB’s resource and energy management solutions received the highest score among all analyzed vendors, with offerings such as Genix Datalyzer CEMS and Genix Digital Twin Hub delivering measurable sustainability results, such as helping a UK-based construction materials company reduce CO₂ emissions by 8-12% at monitored sites.

ABB’s ongoing advancements in agentic automation are also highlighted, noting active pilots and a clear roadmap for deploying autonomous agents across industrial operations. The Genix Agentic Automation framework enables real-time monitoring, contextual interpretation and autonomous action, while ABB’s human-in-the-loop, semi-autonomous approach ensures users remain in control throughout the process.

The report finds ABB’s Genix platform with its pre-build industrial applications particularly well-suited for multi-site manufacturers and heavy process industries such as chemicals, metals, cement, power, water and oil & gas–seeking to scale predictive maintenance, optimize energy use and unify data governance.

“ABB Ability Genix Industrial IoT and AI Suite unifies data and accelerates industrial AI at scale,” said Henry Kirkman, industry analyst at Verdantix. “Teams with clear data governance standards and an appetite to operationalize AI can use ABB Ability Genix to scale from site-level to enterprise-scale models, with measurable performance and sustainability outcomes.”
