Schneider Electric Calls on Business Community to Work Together on Efficiency and Sustainability at Innovation Summit Barcelona

- Realistic 50% efficiency and CO2 reductions possible with
current energy and digital transformations

- Latest EcoStruxure(TM) innovations enable new levels of safety,
reliability, efficiency, sustainability, openness and connectivity

- New partnerships accelerate delivery of energy and automation
digital solutions for buildings, data centers, infrastructure and
industry customers

Barcelona, Spain (ots/PRNewswire) - Schneider Electric calculated
that 50% of global CO2 emissions could be eliminated by 2040 if
digitally enabled energy saving measures were implemented in just
half of existing buildings, in tandem with existing global
electrification and decarbonization initiatives. At the company's
Innovation Summit, taking place today and tomorrow, Schneider
Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management
and automation, called on the more than 3,500+ customers, partners,
suppliers and influencers to work together to make this a reality for
the improved efficiency of their businesses and a more sustainable
planet and development for all. Buildings, data centers,
infrastructure and industry are responsible for around 70% of the
world's energy use.

"We are experiencing a tectonic shift today towards
electrification and digitization, enabling a new paradigm in
sustainability," said Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman and CEO,
Schneider Electric. "For the first time in our history, we can all
participate in a step change in efficiency and the rare opportunity
to reconcile the paradox between progress for all and a sustainable
future for our planet. We stand ready to work with our customers and
partners to unlock new opportunities for efficiency and
sustainability."

Today, Schneider Electric unveiled the latest developments in
EcoStruxure, its IoT-enabled, plug and play, open, interoperable,
architecture and platform.

- EcoStruxure Power 3.0, the third generation of the company's
EcoStruxure Power platform, leverages new digital technologies to
deliver enhanced efficiency, reliability and safety for power
distribution.
- First-to-market EcoStruxure Micro Data Center C-Series 6U Wall
Mount features low-profile design, making it 60 percent less
intrusive while allowing large edge servers to be mounted and
maximizing floor space.
- New EcoStruxure Plant Performance Advisors Suite helps food and
beverage; mining, minerals and metals; oil and gas; water and
wastewater; and other industrial enterprises leverage their
industrial automation data to increase operational profitability.
- New EcoStruxure Building Connected Room Solution gives building and
hotel owners a connectivity hub for increased operational and
energy efficiency and a more personalized occupant experience.

Schneider also announced three new partnership programs. The
Schneider Electric Technology Partner program
(https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/partners/technology-partners/)
is a new specialized program tailored for technology companies
looking to scale and build up innovation within their businesses.
Leveraging a certification approach and facilitated through Schneider
Electric Exchange (https://exchange.se.com/), an open ecosystem and
business platform, partners will have the opportunity to enrich
solutions that solve customers' challenges around efficiency and
sustainability.

The company also announced it is teaming up with technology
industry leaders Avnet and Iceotope to jointly develop innovative,
chassis-level immersive liquid cooling (https://blog.se.com/datacente
r/2019/07/11/not-just-about-chip-density-five-reasons-consider-liquid
-cooling-data-center/) solutions for data centers. And it is
partnering with ThoughtWire (about:blank), a leading provider of
Digital Twins, to create smarter, more connected digital hospitals
that improve operations and patient safety.

Earlier this year, the company unveiled its gas-free medium
voltage switchgear of the future (https://go.schneider-electric.com/W

ail=New-SF6-Free-Medium-VoltageSwitchgear-Technology-Unveiling-the-sw
itchgear-of-the-future-Content_WW), which will use pure air instead
of SF6 gas and allow users to step up in fully sustainable solutions.
This new generation is equally fully digitized to unlock the value of
data. The new technology achieves a level of cost efficiency vital
for the widespread adoption of more sustainable equipment.
