As this digital future continues to reshape how we all live and work, we are working to drive results and innovation both for our customers and our own operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation starts here<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Schneider Electric, innovation starts here \u2014 in our factories, our operations, our supply chain, and with our partners. Our industrial footprint includes 207 factories in 44 countries employing approximately 86,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>As our <a href=\"https:\/\/sdreport.se.com\/en\/sustainable-solutions\/supply-chain\">2017 \u2013 2018 Schneider Sustainability Report<\/a> shows, we are committed to making our supply chain more efficient, connected, and sustainable. We are deploying our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/work\/campaign\/innovation\/overview.jsp\">EcoStruxure solutions<\/a> across our own enterprise \u2014\u00a0in 2018, our goal is to have 60+ factories using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5pW6biLjjwU\">EcoStruxure for Industry<\/a>. By the end of 2020, our aim is to have more than 100. We are making our factories smart through six areas of digital transformation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Agile management<\/strong> \u2014 creating shop-floor agility by connecting control to the enterprise level<\/li>\n<li><strong>Empowered operators<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0enabling operators to make better decisions on the factory floor with connected assets that provide real-time insight<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asset performance management<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0optimizing performance and improving profitability with real-time asset and process information<\/li>\n<li><strong>Energy efficiency<\/strong> \u2014 providing more visibility, control, and optimization of power consumption and costs through real-time power monitoring<\/li>\n<li><strong>Process efficiency<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0improving closed-loop measurement and control for greater throughput and faster processing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reliability <\/strong>\u2014\u00a0ensuring plant, process, and asset uptime through IoT-powered predictive analytics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Industry of the future <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One example of our own digital transformation is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cb3-B4osnUs\">our factory in Le Vaudreuil<\/a>, France. Over 12 months, the factory introduced digital tools to support its mass production operations. The production line has been 100 percent automated and, using augmented reality, technicians can now analyze data and address issues, making interventions safer and reducing diagnostic time by 30 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Sensors\u00a0now allow for predictive maintenance, cybersecurity has been enhanced through the addition of a data bunker, and our EcoStruxure solutions are enabling better energy efficiency. And, as if the long-term energy and operational savings weren\u2019t enough of a reward for these efforts, in February 2018, the Le Vaudreuil plant received the \u201cShowcase for Industry of the Future\u201d award from the\u00a0Alliance Industrie du Futur.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also helping our customers increase the efficiency and sustainability of their operations. For example, at the entertainment company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aegworldwide.com\/about\/aeg-1earth\">AEG<\/a>, which owns venues as diverse as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theo2.co.uk\/about-us\/socialresponsibility\/environment\">O2 Centre in London<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staplescenter.com\/about\/environment\">Staples Center in Los Angeles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.ie\/en\/work\/campaign\/life-is-on\/case-study\/aeg.jsp\">EcoStruxure Resource Advisor<\/a> provides visibility to 52 different types of data streams, across 59 facilities, in a single platform. They\u2019ve saved over $3 million, and diverted 53% of their waste worldwide from landfills, as well as reduced GHG emissions by 14% since 2010.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WxHjnOYOYmk?feature=oembed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" ><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Taking action through innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We believe the challenges of increased urbanization, industrialization, and climate change can be overcome through innovation.
