Schneider Electric at Hannover Messe 2025
Schneider Electric will be at Hannover Messe 2025. They will show future industry technologies. Their booth is Hall 11, Booth C52. The theme is 'Shaping the Future with Technology.' They will demonstrate industrial competitiveness. Sustainability and resilience are key. Automation, electrification, and digitalization drive this.
Addressing Industrial Challenges
Industries face competitive changes. Rapid tech advancements are present. High energy costs are a concern. Environmental rules are strict. Supply chain resilience is needed. Strategic actions and investments are vital. These ensure long-term success.
The Power of Automation
Automation is central to industry. It controls processes effectively. Automation also generates crucial data. This data provides insights for better decisions. Consequently, efficiency and productivity increase. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Automation Expert stands out. It uses open, software-defined automation. This helps industries adapt quickly. They can integrate AI-infused digital tech. The system boosts engineering efficiency. Operational efficiency also improves. Its design is adaptable and modular. This enhances supply chain resilience. It also reduces total ownership costs. Visitors will see live demos. Open automation and AI connect ecosystems. They improve daily outcomes. A food & beverage circular campus will be shown.
Driving Industrial Performance
Barbara Frei is an Executive VP at Schneider Electric. She emphasizes automation innovation. It is essential for industry adaptability. It also boosts competitiveness. Next-gen IT and OT integration is key. Open, software-defined automation enables this. This empowers customers greatly. They achieve new performance levels. Closed systems cannot match this. Their solutions go beyond virtualization. They support third-party integration. This uses the open UAO.org standard. A versatile ecosystem is growing. Companies have more choices now. UAO.org has over 100 members. This confirms broad industry interest.
Introducing the EcoStruxure Automation Expert Platform
Building on past success, Schneider Electric introduces a new platform. It is the EcoStruxure Automation Expert Platform. This is a unified automation environment. It offers comprehensive control application management. This includes Logic, Motion, HMI, Safety, and Simulation.
Streamlining Engineering and Maintenance
The platform integrates various processes. These include continuous, hybrid, and discrete. It streamlines engineering work. Maintenance is also made easier. Multiple users can develop control narratives. They can use popular programming environments. They can collaborate on the same project. This happens simultaneously. Efficiency increases significantly. Project development speeds up. Deployment is also faster. The platform is available now. It comes with the latest version. It includes Automation Copilot. This is a generative AI assistant. Microsoft helped develop it. It helps engineers create code rapidly. The code is high-quality and validated. It also helps generate applications. More applications will be released later this year.
