Schneider Electric begins Innovation Summit World Tour, unveiling
latest innovations and collaborations
- Peter Herweck, CEO, delivers keynote on power of
innovation for positive impact- New solutions announced to increase
energy efficiency and accelerate decarbonization- Strategic
partnerships drive new paths to achieve net zero and sustainability
ambitions
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of
energy management and automation, today kicked off its Innovation
Summit World Tour, emphasizing the need for immediate action and
ongoing collaboration to accelerate the energy transition and
tackle the climate crisis.
“In the wake of record-breaking global warming reported in 2023,
we’re calling on the industry and businesses around the world to
come together to drive meaningful change against the climate
crisis. The technology exists today to dramatically reduce
emissions and to bridge progress and sustainability,” said
Peter Herweck, CEO of Schneider Electric. “Only
through innovation and collaboration can we unlock new
opportunities for digitalization, electrification and
decarbonization that creates lasting impact. Because together, we
can turn ambition into action.”
Herweck will address Innovation Summit Paris attendees today,
calling on global leaders from across industries to accelerate
their digital transformation journeys and embrace technology and
partnerships to productivity and sustainability goals.
Inaugurated in 2016, Schneider Electric’s Innovation Summits
showcase the company’s latest innovations, solutions, and
partnerships that drive the future of automation, electrification,
and digitalization. This year, it gathers customers, partners, and
industry leaders in Paris for a two-day program of plenaries,
breakout sessions, roundtables, deep dives, networking, and
exhibition hall tours.
New Solutions for Greater Impact
Schneider Electric is unveiling new solutions designed to help
companies strategize, digitalize, and decarbonize their operations,
and accelerate sustainability commitments, including:
-
CONNECT: an agnostic,
end-to-end, industrial intelligence platform that integrates
engineering and operational data to provide visibility across the
entire value chain and ecosystem. Connecting clients to
Schneider Electric, AVEVA, etap, RIB and other third-party software
providers, CONNECT leverages AI and the intelligent
digital twin to empower businesses to unlock efficiencies and drive
sustainability for responsible growth.
- Resi9 Energy Center: a retrofit, compact
intelligent electrical panel for homes that integrates with
existing panels, ensuring secure supply and distribution of
electricity. As more homes are electrified and equipped with
renewables like solar, EVs and microgrids—and as more homeowners
are becoming prosumers, both producing and consuming energy—
electrical panels are challenged with increased and complex loads.
Resi9 Energy Center seamlessly integrates across home energy
management systems to enable control and customization for greater
home energy management and optimization.
- eMobility portfolio expansion: While EV
adoption is growing exponentially, only about half (51%) of EV
owners worldwide have a charger at home. Schneider Charge offers a
state-of-the-art home charging solution that is robust,
cost-effective and simple to install. And for fleet and charge
point operators, EcoStruxure EV Advisor and EVLink Pro DC 180
kW offer the latest in electric vehicle (EV) charging and
management. EVLink Pro DC fast-charging station maximizes energy
efficiency while minimizing electrical costs. EcoStruxure EV
Advisor software-as-a-service helps to improve reliability and
performance of charging points by providing operators visibility
into charging performance, energy consumption, and operational
efficiency. In combination, they offer customers across fleet,
car parks, commercial and residential buildings a flexible, open
source, end-to-end solution for EV charging. Reliable charging
infrastructure is critical to accelerating EV adoption, but it
requires skilled labor to install and maintain it. Today Schneider
Electric also announced the expansion of its North America partner,
Qmerit, the leading provider of distributed workforce management
for EV charging, to European markets.
Collaborations for Meaningful Change
Partnerships and collaboration across industries and supply
chains will be imperative to tackling the climate crisis. Schneider
Electric is uniting industry leaders and value chains to drive
greater decarbonization and sustainability, through:
- Sustainability impact: Schneider Electric's
Sustainability Impact Award program recognizes partners, customers,
and suppliers who are decarbonizing their own operations and that
of their customers. By showcasing successes that reduce emissions,
improve energy efficiency, and implement digital technologies,
companies can learn from each other to drive wider impact and
further innovation.
- Supply chain decarbonization: An expansion of
Schneider’s suite of supply chain decarbonization programs,
Materialize aims to unite leading critical resources and materials
companies to implement Scope 3 decarbonization strategies and
facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy. Suppliers can
participate in utility scale, renewable power purchase agreements
(PPAs) to reduce carbon emissions across global value chains, which
typically account for more than 70% of a business’s carbon
footprint. The programs continue to expand with Edwards, a global
leader of vacuum and abatement solutions, joining Schneider's
Catalyze program that seeks to decarbonize semiconductor value
chains.
- Data center partnerships: Schneider Electric
and Digital Realty's new circular economy initiative builds on 20
years of expert data center partnership and is expected to help
Digital Realty reduce 50%-70% of embodied carbon within its LV, MV,
and three-phase UPS equipment over the next 3-5 years, while also
reducing e-waste and Scope 3 emissions. In addition, Schneider
Electric's collaboration with NVIDIA —world leader in
artificial intelligence computing— is set to optimize data
center infrastructure and drive advancements in edge AI and digital
twin technologies.
