Facing the future, explore the sustainable development of life science industry
With global warming, extreme weather and resource shortages becoming increasingly threatening to human sustainable development, poor energy, water and waste management is the biggest obstacle to product cost management and the achievement of sustainable development goals. Reducing the impact of climate change on production and fully implementing sustainable development strategies have become the consensus of the life sciences industry.
Schneider Electric has developed and implemented a sustainability strategy, working with manufacturers and supply chains to help life sciences businesses achieve their sustainability goals by providing the right tools to unlock the power of global data and make affordable products available to all users.
Use the Resource Advisor platform to collect real-time data from various locations, enabling centralized visibility of data and producing detailed reports to effectively manage global energy procurement strategies.
EcoStruxure Integrated energy management and automation solutions: Including EMS+, FMCS, Power monitoring systems, power quality analysis and consulting, and energy efficiency analysis and electrical asset management, connect reliable energy monitoring and target tools to benchmark performance and identify opportunities for energy efficiency optimization.
Renewable energy Strategy and implementation: Schneider Electric’s Clean Technology and renewable energy team can help guide your renewable energy journey. Understand business risks and challenges, advise on energy purchase agreements (PPAs), and develop a global renewable energy expansion roadmap for clients.
KPI Visibility: Create and share digital dashboards in the system that can be adjusted and communicated at any time. Modify objectives or projects as needed in the interim and track progress towards environmental objectives.
EcoStruxure MicroGrid Advisor manages multiple renewable energy sources and facilitates the synchronization of renewable energy for utilities and plants.
For example, Sanofi, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer, has partnered with Schneider Electric to launch a three-year program that aims to achieve $1.3 million worth of energy savings through an investment worth $1.2 million. By moving from a decentralized energy program to an enterprise efficiency program, Sanofi realized $1.6 million worth of energy savings after 18 months. With Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Resource Advisor, Sanofi measures energy consumption through a centralized comparison tool to compare electricity consumption per unit area of similar plants and take measures to improve efficiency. Its ultimate return on investment was $3.5 million.
In addition, under the “dual carbon” policy goal, life science industry enterprises need to guide the path of sustainable green development. Schneider Electric provides green intelligent manufacturing consulting and carbon neutral consulting services to industry customers, helping customers to meet the challenges from strategic planning, system design, implementation optimization, performance, and achieve green, low-carbon, efficient and reliable operations throughout the life cycle.
It is understood that in the past two years, many domestic pharmaceutical companies have begun to take action and take positive measures to integrate sustainability and green goals into the overall business strategy to improve brand image and cost management. For example, Schneider Electric partnered with the Biomedical Research Center and Medical Technology Research and Development Co., Ltd. of a world-renowned medical group to provide carbon neutral consulting services for its real estate and facilities to help the group achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 through the development of carbon neutral path planning, renewable energy procurement, and feasibility studies on electrification and digitalization.
With the development, production, distribution and use of the life science industry more stringent standards, pharmaceutical companies are familiar with the regulations of their partners, project planning, implementation and optimization capabilities are gradually strengthened. Schneider Electric provides end-to-end services to enterprises in the life science industry with professional ecological tools, multi-directional consulting close to customers, top-down complete solutions, a variety of solution options from high performance to cost-effective for a single application, professional norms, a service-oriented delivery team and full life cycle services. Build a new generation of life science facilities to help enterprises continue to comply with the production and operation, strictly control the quality, and maintain a higher position in the new round of competition.
