Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Industrial Software Platform

Schneider Electric has announced the EcoStruxure Industrial Software Platform, an integrated, modular software suite designed to address operational and business imperatives across the value chain in industrial and infrastructure businesses.

The software platform offers a solution capability for engineering, planning and operations, asset performance, and control and information management. It is the latest addition to Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure, the company’s IoT-enabled, plug-and-play open architecture, which delivers end-to-end solutions in six domains of expertise: power, IT, building, machine, plant and grid.

The platform is hardware- and systems-agnostic and can be deployed in a scaled, modular fashion. This enables companies to protect their investments in systems and technology while upgrading their technology footprint to support digital transformation.

The platform offers a wide range of commercial options (subscription, SaaS, perpetual) and deployment flexibility (on-premise or cloud-based) for all its available functionality. This is said to enable a low total cost of ownership without compromising risk, data security or performance requirements.

The domain-specific functionality of the platform is intended to enable business excellence in engineering, operations and asset management. The rich information management, business process knowledge and decision support capability available across the modules of the platform specific to industry problems allow companies to upgrade competencies, retain rich operational experience and develop a next-generation workforce.
