Schneider Electric

FMCG, transportation, and infrastructure sectors are “digital sustainability sceptics.”

CEOs, COOs, and CSOs usually lead a firm’s decarbonisation strategy. 

Six in 10 said it is the biggest barrier to increasing the use of sustainable buildings.

The company has supplied 2,000 EV chargers as of December 2022. 

Schneider Electric, Savills, and more share their insights.

The new warehouse is expected to increase operational capacity by 30%.

The move is in support of the government’s green economy.

Schneider Electric - Businesses in Singapore and the region are investing in distributed IT systems and turning to edge computing environments to support surging digitisation. As IT infrastructure moves from centralised data centres to branch offices or remote, unstaffed locations, the pressure is on to ensure that their current infrastructure can cope.

Schneider Electric - Around the world, colocation providers and enterprises are facing intense pressure to scale IT systems to meet surging digital demand. And with the growing awareness about sustainability, this demand must be met without compromising energy efficiency and corporate sustainability goals.

What is true in business management is also true in IT systems: If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. For infrastructure managers, the ability to achieve uptime and performance can be severely diminished without complete visibility into the state of their infrastructure. What’s more, poor visibility translates into more site visits to troubleshoot or restore systems, dramatically increasing operating cost.

Schneider Electric - The issue of sustainability has become increasingly urgent as accelerating climate change threatens human societies and the planet with a potentially irreversible threat. Abnormally hot and cold temperatures have resulted in millions of deaths globally, and the latest Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) now warns (pdf) that we might exceed two degrees Celsius increase in temperature by 2100.

This is set to help Singapore achieve its goal of 80% of buildings to be green by 2030. 

Schneider Electric - That data centres lie at the heart of digital transformation around the world is common knowledge today. It is worth noting that various experts once predicted that data centre energy demand would continue growing and eventually consume over 20 per cent of global demand.

Schneider Electric - Traditionally used to monitor and manage the plethora of power and cooling systems within advanced data centres, Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) tools are now par for the course. Indeed, DCIM systems have arguably made data centres more resilient and energy efficient.

The hardware-agnostic automation system design allows users to mix and match hardware from different vendors and automating them with a single software platform. This platform helps business reduce engineering hours required to automate their hardware by 68% compared to current automation systems. Singapore, November 23, 2021 –Initially announced on November 2020, Schneider Electric is excited to launch the world’s first universal automation offer, based on the IEC61499 standard for interoperability and portability, in Singapore. Today’s demands for greater manufacturing flexibility and productivity means that industry needs IT solutions that can help them implement automated systems.

The “Predictive Maintenance Centre” will train ITE’s Mechanical Engineering students in cutting-edge real-time maintenance solutions that reduce costly unexpected breakdowns and extends the lifespan of equipment. This helps to expand the skillset of students who are training to be maintenance technicians and potentially implement predictive maintenance solutions for their future employers. Singapore, November 24, 2021 –Schneider Electric and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE)are proud to announce the official opening of their Predictive Maintenance Centre(PMC) at ITE College East. The PMC was set up, in collaboration with Schneider Electric, to provide students with training on industry standard tools that will make them more attractive to future employers.
