Event Description

Discover how to break down silos, accelerate projects, and make your operations future‑ready with open, software‑defined automation (SDA). In this conversation‑style webinar, we’ll explore the value of digital continuity, a core pillar of open SDA.

You’ll see how Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Automation Expert, together with AVEVA, enables a continuous, vendor‑neutral data flow across the entire plant lifecycle — from Design to Build to Operate to Maintain.

What you will learn:

  • Why digital continuity matters: Understand the true cost of fragmented systems and disrupted data across lifecycle phases.
  • How open SDA delivers value: See how decoupling control logic from hardware improves flexibility and scalability.
  • Integration with AVEVA: How EcoStruxure Automation Expert connects design, control, and operations for seamless data exchange.

Use cases with measurable impact: Proven examples of unified engineering, virtual testing, and phased modernization, delivering reduced engineering hours, lower costs and improved uptime.

Why you should attend:

  • Solve real pain points: Obtain actionable strategies to manage aging infrastructure, distributed assets, or limited engineering resources.
  • Gain a roadmap for modernization: Learn how to modernize incrementally while preserving operations.
  • Expert perspectives: Hear from Schneider Electric’s SDA leader and AVEVA’s asset performance/MES leader on combining control, engineering and digital tools.
  • Actionable takeaways: Leave with concrete use cases and clear benefits to apply to your automation strategy.

Reserve your spot to learn how to turn fragmented data into continuous value across your plant lifecycle. 

This is the last in our 4-part series on Open, Software-Defined Automation. Access parts 1-3 here.
