Technology partnership

Williams Racing has struck a new technology and innovation partnership with B&R Industrial Automation, a unit of ABB’s Robotics and Discrete Automation business. The agreement will see B&R Industrial Automation embed its PLC hardware and I/O modules in the wind tunnel facilities at the team’s base in Grove, Oxfordshire. Controlled by B&R Industrial Automation’s APROL edge controller, the enhancements will measure and record the energy consumption of wind tunnel infrastructure.
