Schneider Electric SmartStruxure solution

Schneider Electric has announced the release of its SmartStruxure solution designed to maximise building efficiency and reduce operating costs across the entire life cycle of a facility. The product is made up of hardware and software that is combined with engineering, installation and services to ensure facilities are energy efficient and effectively managed.

The solution breaks down traditional information silos and delivers integrated building information and real-time data via web access, powerful graphics and trend visualisations, rich reports and mobile applications to ensure buildings are running at maximum efficiency. Built on open standards, it provides seamless integration through LON, BACnet, Modbus, Web Services and Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Web Services. In addition, it enables numerous advanced building services, such as automatic mechanical equipment analytics and building optimisation.

The solution is powered by StruxureWare Building Operation software, which provides integrated monitoring, control and management of HVAC, energy, lighting and other critical building systems. Additionally, this application will connect easily to other StruxureWare software within suites, developed to address the needs of key market segments. Supported by EcoStruxure Web Services, the suites will unify key software applications across all levels of an enterprise, providing a scalable platform, easy integration with legacy and third-party systems, and a consistent user experience.

The product is useful for architects, engineers, building owners and business executives. It is suitable in diverse segments including healthcare, green buildings, retrofits, hotels, retail and data centres.
