Schneider Electric Accelerates Global Industrial Transformation with Breakthrough Innovations and Ecosystem Collaboration

Paris, France – Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and industrial automation, is spearheading the fourth industrial revolution through a wave of technological breakthroughs, strategic partnerships, and unwavering commitment to sustainability. In 2025, the company has unveiled a series of transformative initiatives across energy management, industrial automation, and digital infrastructure, solidifying its position as a catalyst for global decarbonization and industrial modernization.

Technological Leadership: Redefining Energy and Industrial Systems

At the 2025 Schneider Electric Innovation Summit in Taiyuan, the company showcased its PowerLogic P3 Digital Relay Protection Device, a groundbreaking solution integrating AI, digital twin technology, and advanced sensing capabilities. This "smart shield" for energy systems offers:

● Full-lifecycle monitoring: Embedded virtual testers and AI-driven health diagnostics enable predictive maintenance, reducing downtime  by 40%.

● Multi-scenario adaptability: Supports diverse communication protocols and I/O configurations, with flexible programming for industries ranging from petrochemicals to data centers.

● Remote operational efficiency: Features like remote debugging and expert online support cut commissioning time by 50%, critical for complex infrastructure projects.

In the renewable energy sector, Schneider Electric's "All-Domain Protection" technology made its debut at SNEC 2025 in Shanghai. Developed in collaboration with Beijing Hyperstrong, this solution:

● Eliminates DC protection blind spots in battery energy storage systems (BESS)

● Reduces equipment costs by 25% through optimized component coordination

● Sets new safety benchmarks for high-altitude and extreme-temperature applications

The company also launched the EasyLogic PCSU Active Power Filter and PQU Static Var Generator, addressing harmonic distortion and reactive power compensation in industrial grids. These innovations form part of Schneider's "Source-Grid-Load-Storage" integrated solutions, already deployed in 12 GW of renewable projects globally.

Sustainability Milestones: Driving Net-Zero Progress

Schneider Electric's 2025 Sustainability Impact Index (SSI) scored 7.95/10 in Q1, exceeding its annual target pace. Key achievements include:

●Carbon reduction: Enabled clients to avoid 697 million tons of CO2 emissions, with 74% of revenue from sustainable products/services

●Circular economy: Achieved 40% green material usage in products and 80% recycled packaging adoption

●Energy access: Provided clean energy solutions to 56 million people, including 928,000 trained in energy management through global programs

Notably, Schneider's Wuxi Factory in China became the world's first "Sustainable Lighthouse" facility, combining AI-powered energy optimization with 100% renewable electricity usage. The plant's digital twin system reduced material waste by 35%, setting a benchmark for Industry 4.0 sustainability.

Ecosystem Collaboration: Building the Future of Industry

The 2025 Schneider Electric Channel Partner Summit highlighted its "Co-Innovate, Co-Win" ecosystem strategy:

●AI-driven data centers: Partnered with data center operators to deploy liquid cooling and grid-interactive UPS systems, improving PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) to 1.18

●Industrial modernization: Launched the EcoFit Adaptive Retrofit Center in Beijing, offering localized solutions for legacy equipment upgrades. A case study with a thermal power plant reduced auxiliary power consumption by 18% through (frequency converter) retrofits

●New energy partnerships: Signed agreements with Sungrow and Differ Energy to develop integrated solar-storage solutions, targeting 5 GW of hybrid projects by 2026

In the automotive sector, Schneider's EcoStruxure for EV Charging platform enabled ultra-fast charging networks with 99.95% uptime, supporting electric vehicle adoption across Europe and Asia.

Market Expansion: Deepening Global and Local Roots

China remains a strategic growth engine, with Schneider Electric:

●Opening the Jinshan Innovation Campus Phase II, its largest R&D hub in Asia-Pacific

●Upgrading 15 factories to "Green Factory" status, incorporating 5G+ industrial IoT

●Training 20,000 engineers in smart manufacturing through its "Schneider Electric Talent Alliance" program

Globally, the company expanded its "Zero Carbon Project", helping top 1,000 suppliers cut emissions by 42% on average. In emerging markets, its "RiseAhead Pledge" initiative increased electricity access for 2.3 million households through microgrids and pay-as-you-go solar systems.

Outlook: Pioneering the New Energy World

As industries navigate the dual challenges of digital transformation and climate action, Schneider Electric continues to innovate at the intersection of energy and automation. "The future belongs to those who can harmonize productivity, sustainability, and resilience," said Peter Wecke, Schneider Electric's Global CTO. "Our latest innovations in AI, digital twins, and circular design are not just products—they're pathways to a regenerative industrial economy."

With 2025 marking the final year of its 2021-2025 SSI plan, Schneider Electric is poised to accelerate its mission of empowering all to "make the most of our energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability for all."
