Trend 2: Services become the key fulcrum of OT and IT convergence
In the past, the focus of enterprise digital transformation was mainly on product and technology application; Nowadays, enterprise digital transformation pays more attention to the integration of technology and application scenarios. With the “window period” of “double transformation” getting shorter and shorter, the industry demand continues to deepen, and scenario-based solutions continue to emerge, how to promote the real landing and performance of digital products and technologies, services are becoming more and more important. The latest IDC report also noted that more and more service providers are shifting from IT and business consulting services to operational technology (OT) services. Service capability is the most important capability in the “double transformation” era, and IT is the key fulcrum of the integration of IT and OT. Digital technology landing in specific industry application scenarios requires professional services and deep industry knowledge as support.
At this service trade fair, Schneider Electric refined and launched four scenarios and value propositions of “electrical safety, power quality, energy efficiency, dual carbon, comprehensive energy microgrid”, to interpret the needs of a wide range of scenarios and launch comprehensive solutions, to promote the digital technology landing scene with services, and explore sustainable value.
For electrical safety scenarios, Schneider Electric helps optimize electrical systems through services such as MPS distribution consulting and Ecofit adaptation to achieve effective monitoring and maintenance and optimize asset management performance. In the face of the critical power quality needs of power supply sensitive industries such as process industry, electronics industry and data center, we provide professional software and full life cycle services to help improve power quality and provide reliable and actionable solutions for long-term operations. At the same time, focusing on the needs of energy efficiency dual carbon, combined with digital software such as energy efficiency management and digital operation and maintenance platform EMS+ to establish a sustainable development management system to help improve the return on carbon reduction investment; In addition, in the scenario of integrated energy micro-grid, with the help of micro-grid design consulting, zero-carbon project design and EcoStruxureTM micro-grid energy consultant, the overall design of the adjustment scheduling and optimization of the new power system is realized, and the penetration rate of renewable energy and the total energy consumption cost are clearly estimated.
Taking the energy efficiency two-carbon scenario as an example, Schneider Electric has provided the whole life cycle energy efficiency consulting solution, including group-level energy management system platform, for the different needs of each business unit of Longi Group for energy efficiency optimization application scenarios. The integration of IT and OT was promoted through the preliminary planning, and a four-level platform deployment was achieved from group management to local production lines, helping the first seven production bases of Longi Group to achieve energy efficiency tracking, analysis, forecasting, carbon footprint monitoring and inventory. Schneider Electric takes consulting as the core value point to customize solutions for customers, and implements all aspects of energy management system construction, software custom development and energy efficiency optimization audit, laying the foundation for Longi Group to build a green factory.
Trend 3: Full life cycle professional services become the primary choice for most enterprises to double transform
With the acceleration of dual transformation, the value of full life cycle services will be fully released. According to IDC’s latest Global semi-annual Services Focus report, digital transformation remains at the core of China’s long-term “new infrastructure” plan, which will further drive service spending in the public sector and strategic industries such as BFSI, manufacturing and energy.
At present, the in-depth evolution of industry demand has been irreversible. A single product or local solution can no longer solve customers’ problems in the process of digital transformation and low-carbon transformation. Only by determining the full life cycle services that meet the strategic development goals and conform to the business development logic can we meet the all-round needs of customers from consulting, design and construction to operation and maintenance.
From the perspective of dual transformation, on the one hand, carbon reduction is a systematic project, because carbon footprint widely exists in every link of product production and asset management, and the key to comprehensive carbon reduction lies in the carbon emission management of the whole life cycle. On the other hand, enterprise digital transformation is to open up, reshape and rebuild the business process, operation management, products and services of the enterprise in the full range, the key is the data management of the whole life cycle.
Relying on professional consulting services covering green intelligent manufacturing consulting, green energy management consulting and sustainable development consulting, Schneider Electric is committed to creating a consultation-first and end-to-end digital service experience, integrating digital transformation and low-carbon transformation into all aspects of consulting, planning and implementation. Form a full life cycle service loop of enterprise consulting, transformation, debugging, training, acceptance, maintenance, recycling, to help enterprises improve their digital and sustainable development capabilities.
This year is the third year that China has proposed the “double carbon” goal, and it is also the third year that Schneider Electric has participated in the “Service Trade Fair” in a row. From “Serving Chinese Industry with green intelligent Manufacturing”, to launching the “Five carbon-neutral service results”, and then releasing the sustainable “One with two wings” results this year, Schneider Electric has been actively integrating into the large market of Chinese service and global service, helping to build a high-quality, efficient, dynamic and competitive modern service industry system with services and digital innovative solutions. Accelerate the dual transformation of the industry and promote the sustainable development of the whole society.
