\"powerDisruptive innovation has arrived to support our next generation power grid. These innovations provide increased opportunity for intelligence and connectivity for the management of power distribution in our power critical facilities. In truth, connectivity and intelligence have long been available; intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) are the nervous system to any electrical network \u2013 relays, circuit breakers, meters, PLCs and RTUs all work together today. The disruptive innovation that is poised to revolutionize our power grid involves analytics<\/a>, machine learning, digital twins, cybersecurity, and pervasive sensors to monitor conditions in more detail and in more resolution than ever before.<\/p>\n

The fact is, as facilities are built or updated, innovative technologies are inherently installed. Schneider Electric Chairman\/CEO, Jean Pascal Tricoire has committed to developing a future range of products that is \u201c100% Connectable<\/a>\u201d, meaning connectivity and intelligence will truly be possible from plant to plug. Meanwhile, complexity to electrical system design brought by the drive for more sustainable use of energy, integration of renewable or backup power sources, and a growing reliance on automation to improve operational efficiencies require integration of connectable equipment with management software<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"New <\/p>\n

Why does this matter to me?<\/h4>\n

If you manage an organization that uses electrical power to manufacture products, process materials, or operate business-critical functions. Then these innovations offer an opportunity to increase safety, improve business continuity, reduce energy costs while achieving sustainability and compliance goals.<\/p>\n

If you work in with electrical distribution (designing solutions, manufacturing panels, installing equipment, or auditing infrastructure), or if you work with automation and control solutions. Then these innovations offer an opportunity to differentiate your business, increase your value proposition while returning more margin.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the market demand for intelligence and connectivity in electrical network equipment is driven by power critical facilities and prosumers,<\/a> supported by the guidance of certified solution providers<\/a>. As the operational value of electrical energy grows, more and more facilities view themselves as \u2018power critical\u2019, and they are looking for service partners<\/a> to develop applications that leverage new technology to gain:<\/p>\n
