Use Cases—How Open, Software-Defined Automation Delivers Value Across Industries (Part 3)
A Webinar by Schneider Electric

Wed, Nov. 5, 2025 10-11:00 a.m. EST
Industries with aging infrastructure, distributed assets or a desire to modernize their operational systems to reduce costs and become future ready are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional automation systems. By decoupling control logic from the physical devices it runs on, automation systems become more modular, flexible and scalable.
Open, software-defined automation solutions such as Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Automation Expert make it easier for industrial users to transition to a more agile, digital way of operating. This approach fosters an open, interoperable automation ecosystem that enhances system flexibility and resilience.
Join us for Part 3 of our 4-part series on Open, Software-Defined Automation. Automation.com’s Chief Editor, Renee Bassett, will speak with Andre Babineau, Schneider Electric’s SDA Country Director, and Daniel Roberts, Water and Sewer Superintendent for the City of Conroe. Together, they’ll share the value of open, software-defined automation and how EcoStruxure Automation Expert was implemented. The solution is helping the city improve efficiency, reduce downtime, lower costs, enable secure remote operations and enhance regulatory compliance.
