Schneider Electric is launching Partnerships of the Future, to address the global urgency of climate change and the 21st century’s most significant challenges of the accelerating energy transition and growing demand for energy.
Schneider is committed to enabling a green recovery whilst supporting the mega trends of mass digitisation, greater electrification, along with the increasing role of natively connected digital products and software, in a bid to ensure sustainability and energy efficiency at scale.
Schneider calls this vision an ‘All-Electric, All Digital New Electric World’, powered by abundant clean energy, or Electricity 4.0. As the electric and digital solutions are becoming more complex, Schneider aims to empower its robust network of partners with high-paced, built to demand, supportive and simplified products, complete with native connectivity and making sustainable and electrical safety goals achievable.
Nadège Petit, Executive Vice President, Power Products Division, Schneider Electric, said: “As our world digitises, large buildings, critical facilities and infrastructure are becoming increasingly dependent on reliable, uninterrupted power.
“Yet power-related issues are increasingly common. With electrical networks inside facilities becoming more complex amid the explosion of the IoT, data and the number of smart devices – the reliability and availability of power is non-negotiable. Electrical faults and unplanned downtime can be both risky and costly, leading to failures in industrial and building operations. Our new electrical safety, reliability and connectivity solutions are designed to equip customers and partners with reliable smart technology not only able to anticipate but also to proactively protect critical infrastructure and equipment from the dangers of electrical failures.”
Partnerships of the Future: simplified, open and digital
Increased digitisation and industry innovation make simplified, open standard solutions, training and knowledge transfers available to Schneider’s partners as it looks to leverage meaningful Partnerships of the Future to enable the New Electric World. It wants its partners to openly collaborate with one another, to share and learn for mutual benefit and, by extension, the benefit of their customers.
With more than 650,000 members, 300 apps, and 100-plus communities, the open ecosystem is a robust resource for all players involved. It enables collaboration with other electrical contractors and peers, access to a state-of-the-art technology portfolio, the opportunity to stay up to date with the rapid evolution of the markets in order to help generate new sales leads.
MySchneider Partner Program encourages transformative and collaborative solutions within Schneider Electric’s energy management ecosystem, including curated content for partners.
Open and simplified solutions
It has also launched a number of safety, reliability and connectivity solutions for critical industry segments, buildings and infrastructure:
- The new iconic TeSys Giga features native digital connectivity and is packed with 56 new patents. Easy to install and use, these innovations feature native connectivity to the cloud, enhanced safety and real-time monitoring.
- The PrismaSeT active low-voltage switchboard is an industry-first product to include built-in cloud connectivity, providing instant access to intelligent alarming, energy usage analysis, trends, and preventative maintenance plans.
- The new generation ComPacT molded-case circuit breakers feature a refreshed design and tailored for operational excellence and significant simplification of maintenance activities.
- The next generation BlokSeT and Okken LV switchboards have been given a new look and feel for an improved ergonomic experience. IoT-ready wireless connectivity means fast and easy access anywhere, anytime.
With the launch, Schneider reaffirms its commitment to provide open, simple to deploy digital solutions to drive sustainability and efficiency, enabling industry-wide collaboration and partnerships in the New Electric World.
