2. Excellent scene of intelligent manufacturing

Intelligent manufacturing excellent scene

Schneider Wango (Tianjin) Electric Equipment Co., Ltd.

Schneider Wango (Tianjin) Electric Equipment Co., Ltd. was selected into the list of excellent scenarios for intelligent manufacturing. Relying on infrastructure such as 5G, AI, and data warehouses, it built a digital capability system that meets the general needs of business, and explored a digitalization that deeply integrates IT and OT. The road to transformation.

In addition, in 2021, Schneider (Shaanxi) Baoguang Electric Co., Ltd. was selected into the list of excellent scenarios for intelligent manufacturing. Based on the digital design of discrete processes, through research in digitalization, automation, and human-computer collaboration, combined with the development direction of intelligent manufacturing, the deployment of vacuum The flexible and automated production scheme of circuit breakers has achieved cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, and has enhanced the competitiveness of enterprises.

In the face of the general trend of carbon reduction, the industry urgently needs to move towards intelligence, high-end, and green, and digitalization is the key focus. Relying on leading digital technology and sustainable development experience, Schneider Electric has created an end-to-end green supply chain covering green design, green procurement, green production, green delivery, and green operation and maintenance, driving upstream and downstream to achieve high efficiency and sustainability.

With the help of the digital operation system, the energy consumption of Schneider Electric’s supply chain in China has been reduced by 9.42% in the past three years.

Currently, among the nearly 30 factories and logistics centers of Schneider Electric in China, there are 15 “green factories” certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 16 “zero-carbon factories” certified by Schneider Electric globally, 18 smart factories and logistics centers, and 1 End-to-end “Lighthouse Factory” selected by the World Economic Forum.

With the accelerated implementation of the dual carbon goals, pioneers need to give full play to their leading role and drive the entire industry chain to jointly reduce carbon. Being on the smart manufacturing list for two consecutive years is a recognition of Schneider Electric’s deep cultivation in the field of green smart manufacturing. In the future, Schneider Electric will continue to leverage its advantages in technology and experience, and work closely with upstream and downstream partners to create a sustainable ecosystem and help China’s industry move towards a “dual transformation” of digitalization and low-carbonization.
