Omnidirectional multi-dimensional empowering enterprises to build green smart logistics
In order to better empower enterprises to build a green and intelligent logistics system, Schneider Electric, an expert in digital transformation in the field of global energy management and automation, has brought an omnidirectional and multi-dimensional automation digital solution for the logistics industry, aiming to help customers in upstream and downstream logistics industries such as manufacturing, on-site logistics, express delivery e-commerce, airport baggage sorting, and cold chain. Through digital transformation to achieve the “efficient, accurate, flexible, green” four values, and then create a future-oriented enterprise core competitiveness. At this exhibition, Schneider Electric fully displayed its automation component hardware products, digital software products and lean consulting services, aiming to lead the green intelligent journey of the logistics industry:EcoStruxureTM Open Automation Platform: A new software-centric industrial automation system that enables a step-change in operations throughout the entire life cycle. EcoStruxure open automation platform is based on IEC 61499 international standard, through hardware and software decoupling to break the limitations of the existing system, can achieve the true integration of IT/OT, thus promoting the logistics field “plug and play”. By combining flexible automation solutions, easy deployment and rapid transformation methods with the deep application of algorithm-based technologies, EcoStruxure open automation platform can also help logistics enterprises achieve digital continuity of the whole process from design to operation based on a unified platform and unified source of asset data. At the logistics exhibition, Schneider Electric has brought the newly upgraded EcoStruxure open automation platform V23.0 version this year to provide the logistics industry with a unified control software platform integrating operation and operation, and continue to empower customers to improve efficiency.
EcoStruxure MET Machine Expert Digital Twin Software: A scalable suite of digital twins for the entire machine lifecycle, EcoStruxure MET Machine Expert Digital Twin software creates digital models of real machines for virtual design, virtual commissioning, and agile development before the machine is built. The digital twin also supports remote commissioning to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the logistics system by modeling the actual flow and operation logic of the enterprise. In addition, customers can develop and add custom model components for their own business needs. With the digital twin, companies can reduce commissioning time by 60%, time to market by 20%-50%, and save 10%-20% in quality costs based on tests conducted before and during commissioning.
•Lexium MC12 Multi-Carrier Flexible Conveying System: As an innovative conveying system, the Lexium MC12 multi-carrier flexible conveying system can meet the collinear production of multi-specification products through the application of advanced linear drive and digital twin technology. Higher machine performance and flexibility facilitate the precise positioning or grouping of products to quickly switch production specifications; Combined with the EcoStruxure MET machine Expert digital Twin software, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, while analog testing and commissioning, not only meet equipment manufacturers’ critical needs for increased flexibility in product delivery systems, but also accelerate engineering schedules and provide design quality. In addition, the highly integrated motor segment and carrier have a smaller footprint and are easy to install, commission and disassemble, increasing commissioning and installation speed by 50% and reducing time to market by 30%, while their durable steel components help reduce unplanned downtime and ensure production safety and stability.
•EcoStruxure IoT Industrial Internet Platform: Based on the underlying intelligent devices, EcoStruxure IoT industrial Internet platform comprehensively covers edge, platform and application level functions, and can “seamlessly integrate” with the existing information system of enterprises. By integrating isolated data from multiple systems/multiple sites, it can realize high-speed storage and calculation of massive data. Support cloud deployment, private cloud deployment and local stand-alone deployment, seamless integration of various automation hardware and systems, and support the collocation of multiple digital applications in the field of energy and asset management, providing rich data services while ensuring end-to-end data security, so as to achieve the goal of efficient equipment, control iot, perception interconnection and collaborative intelligence. Escort the intelligent transformation of logistics enterprises.
• Lean logistics consulting: Schneider Electric helps customers clarify their ideas and develop achievable road maps by covering the overall consulting solution from top-level planning to implementation, helping logistics enterprises to truly achieve lean goals; Combined with its own powerful and complete software and hardware products and services, it empowers the whole life cycle of customer projects from commissioning to delivery.
