Developers and Installers have started embracing this trend and will continue as they increasingly recognize what connectivity means to the end users. To do this effectively, you need to understand what connected solutions manufactures are offering \u2013 both software and hardware \u2013 and which solutions can easily\/effectively be integrated into their designs to meet the end user\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n<p>If you break it down, your customer\u2019s operation can be segmented into three tiers: Connected Products, Edge Control and Apps and Analytics \u2013 each is critical for realizing an IIoT-based operation.<\/p>\n<p>Schneider Electric provides a comprehensive offering based on these tiers, allowing you to integrate new solutions at any level. This includes the new designs you are developing and current systems you are modernizing within a customer\u2019s existing architecture.\u00a0 This is the essence and value of EcoStruxure for your business.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s explore this in practical terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Modernization<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Replacing older or outdated circuit breakers with new technology, such as our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/product-range\/63545-masterpact-mtz\/?parent-category-id=4200&amp;parent-subcategory-id=4275&amp;filter=business-4-low-voltage-products-and-systems&amp;subNodeId=7592016345en_WW\">MTZ breakers<\/a> allows you to connect those pieces into the building management systems gaining insight into the operation of power cycles and loads within the system without additional downstream meters. This means easily incorporating the benefits of IIoT with EcoStruxure connect product, while reducing the total space requirements to manage your power.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Design<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many end users are already requesting a cloud-based solution allowing them to remotely analyze and control their applications (e.g.: Spec 25).
