Schneider Electric Support Resilient Transport Logistics
Schneider Electric Support Resilient Transport Logistics : Drawing on expert knowledge through the EcoConsult, EcoFit, and EcoCare services can deliver continuous value for logistics at airports, smart ports, and rail networks. Transport logistics play a significant role in pretty much every supply chain. The sector supports the movement of goods and people through airports, smart ports, bus depots, and rail terminals.
Schneider Electric has recently updated its approach to services to provide data driven insights, leveraging advanced capabilities for existing infrastructure. Across the board, transport businesses are facing pressure to handle increasing demand while cutting costs, using less energy, and reducing downtime. These goals are hard to achieve for a sector with a complex mix of old and new equipment across multiple locations.
Teams often use traditional reactive maintenance and need to act fast to repair machines and components in the case of unplanned outages. In consequences, that leaves them fire-fighting and gets in the way of strategic planning. Switching to proactive maintenance offers potential to free up maintenance teams to focus on productivity and sustainability.
However, this can be difficult for an in-house team to achieve without additional support. Turning to a service partner brings expertise in electrical technology and digitalisation, and in turn will help a team to identify priorities, overcome site-specific issues while boosting reliability and efficiency. Working with a partner offers the benefit of their extensive experience across various sites and industries.
This broad insight allows them to understand how to achieve your desired results within your budget. A good service partner will be technology-agnostic and able to work with technology from multiple suppliers, as well as legacy systems. Schneider Electric has developed three services to tackle the big challenges in transport logistics
- EcoConsult starts with an audit to map electrical and automation systems and gain a snapshot view of assets and their current condition.
This will identify risks and provide a list of recommendations for the site manager to evaluate and prioritise. An audit can also identify the best places to add sensors, so that the transport operator can move to proactive maintenance for critical equipment and gain a clear view of energy use, system health, and untapped efficiencies. EcoConsult enables businesses to reach operational and sustainability goals.
- EcoFit aims to extend the life of critical systems by up to 25% by modernising equipment and adding digital technologies.
During this service, Schneider Electric will upgrade the active parts of equipment. This cuts waste, cost, CO2 footprint and disruption by keeping assets like cabinets and cabling that are in good condition.
- EcoCare is a membership plan that gives 24/7 access to expert support, AI-powered analytics and proactive monitoring. By monitoring operational data and generating alarms, site teams will know when components are close to the end of their life and can take action before a part fails.
Support from Schneider Electric's experts will provide reassurance to technicians that they're taking the right steps. This extends the abilities of the current workforce and protects uptime and safety.
Services help transport become more sustainable Schneider Electric's services are designed to help transport companies control costs and reduce waste, with three dedicated services to address major challenges.
In turn, businesses can future proof operations and be ready for what is coming next.
