February 9, 2010 — Schneider Electric announced PlantStruxure architecture, a collaborative system that allows industrial and infrastructure companies to meet their automation needs and at the same time deliver on growing energy management requirements. The system offers flexible, scalable and collaborative architectures that are the building blocks for manufacturing and process within Schneider Electric’s comprehensive EcoStruxure energy management architecture portfolio. EcoStruxure allows organizations to improve energy efficiencies across multiple domains of business including process automation. PlantStruxure integrates both hardware and software components throughout the plant, delivering a complete process management solution that allows companies to optimize their energy usage and drive maximum efficiency within their operations while also improving productivity. PlantStruxure allows easy collaboration between plant and operation managers, as well as engineering and maintenance teams through its powerful software suite combined with field proven hardware and open Ethernet-based technologies. PlantStruxure enables high process availability and offers redundancy and functional safety at each level of the architecture, to meet the requirements of industries such as oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, power and mining. Through architectures based on EcoStruxure’s intelligent energy management solutions, organizations that use PlantStruxure benefit from reduced project development, operation and production costs, while gaining real-time visibility of business performance, improved compliance and ROI. With PlantStruxure, Schneider Electric leverages its experience in the domains of automation, process control and energy management to deliver a system that provides a single architecture for all process control needs. PlantStruxure allows users to optimize their plant efficiency, reduce operating costs and improve energy efficiency by implementing strategies that combine all of these aspects across the entire lifecycle of their system. PlantStruxure is a building block of EcoStruxure, Schneider Electric’s solution architecture which enables intelligent energy management solutions for customers seeking to optimize energy efficiencies across multiple domains of their business, first announced in November 2009. EcoStruxure connects five domains of expertise: Power, Datacenters, Process and Machines, Building Control and Physical Security – within an open and flexible technology architecture that delivers up to 30 percent savings in energy efficiency. |
