Automation keeps the world’s most essential industries running safely and reliably. But how can industries modernize without disrupting operations? 

In this episode of Industry Optimized, host Fran Scott speaks with Per Erik Holsten, President at ABB's Energy Industries division, and Joachim Braun, President at ABB's Process Industries division, about how industries can adopt new capabilities while protecting the core of their operations. They discuss Automation Extended, ABB's approach to separating core control from digital innovation, enabling customers to modernize at their own pace while maximizing existing investments and minimizing disruption. 

We also hear how this works in action from Matthijs Zwart at Vitens and Jenny Gotthardsson at Södra Cell.
