ABB Ltd. said Wednesday that it has taken a significant equity stake in Canadian company Planar Motor Inc. as part of a technology agreement.

The Swiss engineering company said the partnership will allow it to integrate PMI's magnetic levitation technology into its machine automation division's portfolio.

ABB said this supports a transition toward flexible and precise manufacturing, from the strictly linear production it had before.

ABB didn't disclose the financial terms of the partnership.
