Turn your challenges
into opportunities
Turn challenges into opportunities? We believe thats the
way to go. Because the bigger the challenges, the bigger
the opportunities.
The industrys biggest opportunity is its energy consumption
(thermal and electrical energy): 40% to 70% of its production
costs and 2% of energy consumption worldwide.
Whats more, regional and national governments are
challenging energy-intensive industries both to improve its
eco-efficiency and sustainability and to prove that its improving.
Regulations and penalties compel you to meet targets and
supply hard evidence of reduced energy use and lower waste
and emissions.
Stakeholders make similar demands. Increasingly, they
challenge you to show you know that economy and ecology
share the same root.
to produce more
while using less
With Schneider Electric, you will advance
towards a whole level of energy management,
from the device level to the enterprise level. Our
suite of solutions will provide you with real insight
into energy consumption in a process context,
helping you identify possible savings.
At the same time, through our comprehensive
solutions, you will easily balance your energy costs
and production goals. Optimizing energy needs
means much more than just reducing costs; it also
improves the overall efficiency of your enterprise.

Our solution makes
your energy productive
Measure your electrical
energy flows
Power metering and monitoring is a simple
solution that provides field operators with an initial
understanding of energy flow.
It gives information on electrical consumption
in subsystems, and on electrical flows and
advanced functions to log and sort all events on
the electrical network.
It allows a detailed measurement and
understanding of energy usage in the plant to
improve efficiency through dedicated actions.
Fix the basics of energy usage
Our best-in-class products such as LV and MV
variable speed drives for HVAC, pumps, fans, and
motors, as well as motor starters and soft-starters
have a direct impact on energy efficiency that
generates immediate energy savings.
Audit & measure
Fix the basics
Measure your process variables
Our connectivity solutions are based on Ethernet,
an open standard which allows the integration of
measurements from field instruments or other field
devices (e.g., valves).
Connectivity to the entire process provides effective
measurements that enable more accurate evaluation.
PlantStruxure has the unique capability to deliver an integrated architecture for both
process management and energy management. This state-of-the-art architecture
integrates Active Energy Management into your process for real-time impact.

Industries are changing their view of energy; from being a necessary overhead
cost to a strategic resource to be managed effectively. A true systems approach
can be achieved by leveraging tools that span the entire process and that
operators are already familiar with site-wide process control solutions. These
tools can help operators measure, improve and analyze energy and process
data in context and in real-time; so that business and environment goals are met
without the need for significantly large capital expenditure.

Our dashboards put you
in the picture
Dashboards are visual interfaces with data. They are extremely effective decision-
making tools because they deliver actionable intelligence in contextual displays.
Energy optimization systems from Schneider Electric support fully
customizable web-enabled dashboards. They show KPIs related to factors
such as energy consumption and costs in dynamic, meaningful displays,
turning data into intelligence for even more efficient energy optimization.
Our dashboards enable you to access, analyze, and act on the energy
metrics that you choose. You can create and edit your own dashboards:
just point and click widgets from a library. This way, you can build a
dashboard with information from a wide variety of sources in a few minutes.
And with just a little training, anybody can use our dashboards not just
energy management specialists.
Get insight into how your process
is performing
In addition to simple web-enabled dashboards, plant
operation and maintenance managers can use expert
tools for in-depth data analysis.
Display all measurement data and KPIs in real time.

Schneider Electric convinced us with their automation solutions that
met our water treatment needs. The solutions are based on their
reliable products and make the whole system highly available. It was
extremely important for us to work with a partner who is familiar with
the water segment and knows the water basics in order to engineer
and commission such a plant. Schneider Electrics automation solution
for the optimization projects made also the data points available to
support the energy efficiency loop, turning the plant from an energy
consumer into an energy supplier.
