Digitization is at the core of Schneider’s DNA. We connect people and assets to drive efficiency, safety, and reliability.
EcoStruxure Innovation Explained
Cyril Perducat, Executive Vice President, IoT & Digital Transformation, Schneider Electric
The Internet of Things for a sustainable tomorrow
The EcoStruxure™ platform and architecture is our IoT-enabled solution that increases operational and energy efficiency. EcoStruxure solutions have been deployed in 480,000+ sites, with the support of 20,000+ system integrators and developers, connecting over 1.6 million assets under management through 40+ digital services.
EcoStruxure provides Innovation At Every Level:
Level 3: Apps, Analytics, and Services
EcoStruxure leverages the cloud for computing power, aggregation of data and one data pool, machine learning models / new functionalities, and digital services. Thanks to analytics and artificial intelligence, data can take on meaning across a business (from shop floor to top floor), allowing a company to scrutinize energy use, for example, and to make more targeted decisions about how to prioritize energy projects.
Level 2: Edge Control
Mission-critical environments need local control of devices at the edge and reliable access to data from operational technology (OT) devices. Advancements such as artificial intelligence enable analytics close to the source of data, reducing latency while protecting safety, productivity, and uptime.
Level 1: Connected Products
The Internet of Things starts with the best things. EcoStruxure is based on smart, connected products with open integration to third-party products. Embedding sensors in devices opens a vast window to what’s happening both inside that product — from its energy efficiency to its performance and within its environment, too. Through internet connectivity, IoT enables all these connected “things” to talk to each other.
Through six domains of expertise:
EcoStruxure Power
Safe, highly available, and energy-efficient electrical distribution systems for low- and medium-voltage architectures to enhance connectivity, real-time operational reliability, and smart analytics.
EcoStruxure Building
From design, through integration, to commissioning, EcoStruxure Building brings best-in-class engineering efficiency to buildings, combined with asset and energy performance services.
EcoStruxure Grid
Seamless local production of distributed energy resources and integration at the grid edge, bridging demand and supply via energy flexibility based on analytics and increasing grid efficiency for sustainable networks.
EcoStruxure IT
Connected products and remote, digital services to ensure that data center physical infrastructure can adapt quickly to support both future demand driven by IoT and growth — in the cloud and at the edge — without ever compromising availability or operational efficiency.
EcoStruxure Machine
Innovative machine solutions and smart automation technologies for safer, connected, flexible, and more efficient machines.
EcoStruxure Plant
IoT-enabled, future-proof solutions for improved operational profitability in a measurable, safe, and sustainable way.
Across four key markets:
The benefits of EcoStruxure:
- Maximize energy efficiency and sustainability through smarter systems and real-time, data-driven decisions
- Optimize asset availability and performance through predictive analytics and proactive maintenance
- Enable smart, productive, and profitable operations through the reduction of waste and downtime
- Leverage mobile insights and proactive risk-mitigation through simulation, situational awareness, and digitization
- Lower CapEx and OpEx across the digital life cycle by using “digital twin” capabilities to design, build, operate, and maintain systems and infrastructure
