Schneider Electric, a leader in energy management and automation, will showcase its advancements in open, software-defined automation and latest technology innovations at Hannover Messe 2025 (Hall 11, Booth C52). Aligning with the theme ‘Shaping the Future with Technology,’ the company will demonstrate how it drives industrial competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience through automation, electrification, and digitalization.
Industries are facing significant challenges, including changing competitive landscapes, rapid technological advancements, high energy costs, stringent environmental regulations, and supply chain resilience. These challenges require strategic interventions and investments to ensure long-term viability and competitiveness.
A key lever to tackle these challenges is automation. At the core of industrial operations, automation not only controls processes but also generates crucial data to derive insights for enhanced
decision-making leading to greater efficiency and productivity. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Automation Expert stands out by its open, software-defined automation approach enabling industries to respond swiftly to market and technology changes, integrating digital technologies infused with AI. This system increases engineering and operational efficiency through its adaptable and modular design, enhancing supply chain resilience while reducing total cost of ownership. Visitors to the company’s Hannover Messe booth will witness firsthand how open, software-defined automation and AI-driven solutions are connecting ecosystems to improve outcomes on a daily basis, showcased in a circular manufacturing campus across the food & beverage industry.
Building on the success of EcoStruxure Automation Expert, Schneider Electric introduces the EcoStruxure Automation Expert Platform, a unified automation environment that offers a comprehensive overview and management of control applications including Control Logic, Motion, HMI, Safety and Simulation.
Integrating continuous, hybrid, and discrete processes, the platform streamlines engineering and maintenance. It enables multiple users to develop their control narrative using many popular programming environments and to collaborate on the same project simultaneously, boosting efficiency and speeding up project development and deployment. The EcoStruxure Automation Expert Platform will be immediately available to customers with the latest version of EcoStruxure Automation Expert. It will include Automation Copilot, a generative AI assistant developed in collaboration with Microsoft that helps engineers rapidly create high-quality, validated code and generate applications. Additional applications will be released later this year.
