Recently, the 2023 Schneider Electric Industrial Digital Ecological Partner Summit with the theme of “Digital intelligence dual drive together to break the game” was held in Shaoxing, gathering digital elites from various industries to talk about the future of industrial digital ecology. At the meeting, Schneider Electric demonstrated industrial digital solutions that run through the whole life cycle of enterprise design, construction, operation and maintenance, launched the integrated intelligent suite for the water industry and the digital solution for the air separation industry, and also signed a strategic cooperation with Nanjing Qiangsi Digital Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Qiangsi Digital Technology”) to jointly promote the digital transformation of the process industry.
At present, China’s digital economy is booming. The National Conference on the Promotion of New Industrialization was recently held in Beijing, emphasizing the need to vigorously promote the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, and comprehensively promote the green development of industry.
Xingjian Pang, senior Vice President of Schneider Electric and head of Industrial Automation Business in China, said: “With the in-depth development of digital and real integration, digital technology is increasingly becoming a tool for industrial enterprises to achieve new business growth and accelerate new industrialization. In this regard, Schneider Electric will be based on its deep understanding of the practice of digital transformation and rich experience, committed to providing enterprises with a complete solution from consulting to the ground, and through more and more advanced software and digital capabilities to help customers explore the value of the scene, help enterprises’ digital intelligence ‘upgrade at the same time, really create value.”
Data + software enables enterprises to enhance their digital capabilities
To promote the “integration of data and reality”, we first need to realize the data collection, processing and analysis of the physical world based on the digital technology represented by software. There are massive data in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the real industry, reflecting the real situation of production and operation. Therefore, enterprises need to use software to get through the whole life cycle, collect massive data from various systems in real time, and analyze it through continuous iterative algorithms to support decisions such as optimized operations and predictive maintenance. Especially under the dual-carbon target, enterprises need to obtain the energy consumption data of all aspects of production and operation in real time, and achieve energy saving and carbon reduction by optimizing the overall efficiency.
With Schneider Electric’s dual data dock, which combines engineering and operational data, companies can easily integrate industrial and energy data across all data sources and applications, enabling organizations, departments and people to deploy digital tools more efficiently. At the same time, relying on the open EcoStruxure architecture and platform, a powerful portfolio of innovative hardware and software products, as well as the application and solution of AVEVA industrial software, Schneider Electric can provide digital products covering discrete and process control, security control systems, and enterprise asset management, which can help enterprises to build industrial digital twins in multiple dimensions. Help companies explore the optimization potential of the full life cycle, from design, construction, to operation and maintenance, to continuously improve productivity and efficiency while coping with future challenges.
