Based on a series of excellent practices in the field of green intelligent manufacturing, Schneider Meran Jylan Low Voltage (Tianjin) Co., LTD., Schneider Electric (Xiamen) Switchgear Co., LTD. (AVXP and AVXE), Schneider (Beijing) Low Voltage Electric Co., LTD., has been successfully selected as an intelligent manufacturing demonstration plant. It has set an industry benchmark for the manufacturing industry to achieve operational innovation, sustainable development and win-win cooperation in the digital transformation.

In terms of operation management, Schneider Merlin Jylland Low Voltage (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. relies on the green intelligent manufacturing evaluation model to promote the rapid growth of production efficiency, and realize the upgrading of manufacturing paradigm and operation system innovation.

In terms of sustainable development, Schneider Electric (Xiamen) Switchgear Co., LTD. (AVXP and AVXE) takes green sustainability as the core concept, through intelligent manufacturing system planning and design, relying on Schneider Electric EcoStruxure platform, while promoting the intelligent upgrade of energy management, it realizes the recycling and recycling of production line wastewater. Both economic and social benefits have been achieved.

In terms of win-win cooperation, Schneider (Beijing) Low-voltage Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd. gives full play to its lean management advantages, carries out multi-scene, full-chain, multi-level digital and intelligent manufacturing, improves supply chain resilience, achieves quality improvement, cost reduction and efficiency, and builds a green intelligent manufacturing ecosystem covering upstream and downstream partners to drive the entire value chain to achieve win-win results.

Schneider vanco (Tianjin) Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. was selected as the intelligent manufacturing excellent scenario list, relying on 5G, AI, data warehouse and other infrastructure, built a digital capability system that meets the general needs of the business, and explored a digital transformation road with the deep integration of IT and OT.

In addition, in 2021, Schneider (Shaanxi) Baoguang Electric Co., Ltd. was selected into the intelligent manufacturing excellent scenario list, based on the discrete process digital design, through the research in digitization, automation, man-machine collaboration and other aspects, combined with the development direction of intelligent manufacturing, the deployment of vacuum circuit breaker flexible automated production solutions, to achieve cost reduction and efficiency, improve the competitiveness of enterprises.

In the face of the trend of carbon reduction, the industry needs to move towards intelligence, high-end and green, and digitalization is its key focus. Relying on leading digital technology and sustainable development experience, Schneider Electric has created an end-to-end green supply chain covering green design, green procurement, green production, green delivery, green operation and maintenance, driving upstream and downstream to achieve efficiency and sustainability.

With the help of the digital operation system, the energy consumption of Schneider Electric’s supply chain in China has been reduced by 9.42% in the past three years.

Currently, among Schneider Electric’s nearly 30 factories and logistics centers in China, there are 15 “green factories” certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 16 “Zero carbon factories” certified by Schneider Electric globally, 18 smart factories and logistics centers, and 1 end-to-end “lighthouse factories” selected by the World Economic Forum.

With the acceleration of the dual-carbon goal, pioneers need to give full play to their leading role to drive the whole industrial chain to reduce carbon. Being listed on the smart manufacturing list for two consecutive years is recognition of Schneider Electric’s deep cultivation in the field of green smart manufacturing. In the future, Schneider Electric will continue to give play to the advantages of its own technology and experience, work closely with upstream and downstream partners to create a sustainable ecosystem, and help China’s industry to move towards the “double transformation” of digitalization and low-carbon.
