ABB and IBM intend to use Watson's artificial intelligence to help find defects via real-time images instead of manual machinery inspections.

ZURICH: ABB has sealed a collaboration agreement with IBM Corp, the Swiss engineering company said on Tuesday, the latest step in its efforts to ramp up its presence in digital technology and the Internet of Things. 

In a joint statement ABB said it would combine its digital offering, which gathers information from machinery, with IBM's expertise in artificial intelligence featured in its Watson data analytics software. The two companies will jointly develop and sell new products.
