Climate change and water scarcity are among the top challenges the world is facing, and the water sector has a double challenge in the face of climate change.

First, there’s the need to be more efficient in water extraction and distribution by reducing energy consumpti

At Schneider Electric we strive to continually innovate when it comes to our own digital transformation, smart factories, and integrated supply chains. A key part of our success is in bringing our workers along for the ride, creating a

Businesses need to adopt Sustainable Technology solutions to achieve Net Zero targets.

The world is facing a historic challenge to cut greenhouse gas emissions and keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In 2019, almost 3000 businesses from around the world joined the United Nations “Race to Zero” campaign, pledging to achieve net zero emissions. Customers, employees, and investors increasingly demand businesses not only to have a new zero-waste plan, but also to

The capitalistic structure of most countries is driven by the bright minds of entrepreneurs and business leaders. The manufacturing and industrial sectors churn out a significant amount of revenue that accelerates a country’s growth and development. However, on the other hand, they also contribute to global warming and environmental degradation with massive carbon emissions 

Entrepreneurs and business leaders are known to have the brightest minds—they assess the needs of our society, curate ideas to fulfil the gap, and market them for profitability. The advertising sector plays a huge role in the capitalistic structure; it arrests people by using strong visuals and gripping taglines, convincing them to buy products they might not need in the first place. 

For anyone who is not involved in the industrial world, being in front of a machine can be disconcerting. And the control panel, even though it is often clear and uncluttered, can still quickly look like a Christmas tree to those who do not know how to figure it out. Between the different HMI screens, the buttons of all colors and the indicator lights and tower lights multiplying the flashing and sometimes sound effects, it is very difficult to find your way. And as you can imagine, all this

All of us have read about sustainability and its thriving benefits in theory. However, if those sustainability factors come into practice, we can live in a world where cities are green and smog-free. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? While this vision seems a bit utopian, many cities are actively working on such projects to make themselves idyllic with green ecosystems.

You may be surprised to learn that the on-off switch was not the starting point for adopting smart technology in the industrial sector. Historically, motor starters turned electric motors on and off, and overload relays protected motors from excess loading. And that’s been about it, even as Industry 4.0 has emerged to collect data from sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and embedded software.

But there is huge potential in applying smart technology to motor manageme

Before the onset of the industrial revolution, products and resources were produced in a starkly different way. The workforce had a huge role in every step of the production process, from integrating the raw materials to designing. However, the introduction of machines, devices, and equipment revolutionized how the industrial sector functions. The operators and administrators only managed and supervised the processes while machines performed all the integral functions. In the last couple of d

If it seems like your customers are turning to you more frequently to solve their challenges, you are not alone. They need new solutions to help mitigate labor issues and improve efficiency and quality. As a machine builder, it’s up to you to develop more complex machines and automation systems that can help end users scale operations faster.
