As a trusted core partner of Schneider Electric, we recognize the growing need for intelligent transformation in industrial sectors. Schneider PLC is evolving from traditional hardware control to software-defined automation, driven by its EcoStruxure open automation platform (EAE). This shift has already helped countless businesses achieve breakthrough upgrades and improve operational efficiency. Schneider Electric's vision of a more connected, digitalized future is already making a real impact in regional industries, providing them with the tools needed to succeed in an increasingly automated world.
We have seen the power of this transformation firsthand in several of our projects. For example, we worked with a local dairy group to transform their cowshed temperature control system. By replacing the traditional PLC architecture with EAE-integrated inverters, we helped them streamline their operations significantly. When the customer added new production lines, they were able to reuse the control modules from the existing system, cutting down the engineering cycle by 60%. This is just one example of how open automation can offer substantial benefits, reducing time and costs while ensuring the system is flexible enough to accommodate future growth.
With the release of the EAE V24.0 platform in 2024, Schneider PLC has further strengthened its ability to serve its customers with even greater efficiency. The platform supports up to 5,000 I/O points, making it ideal for large-scale projects such as those in the automotive parts industry. This capability has allowed us to handle more complex systems without sacrificing performance or reliability. Additionally, the platform’s dynamic operation and maintenance function makes online program modifications possible, helping businesses like a local injection molding company reduce downtime by 20%. The pre-installed AI engine speeds up the deployment of visual inspection systems, which in turn helped a photovoltaic frame manufacturer increase their yield rate by 12%. Furthermore, the EAE platform's multi-protocol compatibility has simplified the integration of multiple brands of equipment, as demonstrated by our work with a food factory where we seamlessly connected seven different equipment brands using the M580 system.
Our solutions have demonstrated their value across multiple industries, particularly in steel and energy. In collaboration with Schneider’s technical team, we implemented the M580 PLC unmanned driving solution at a steel rolling mill in Liaoning. Through the customized development of AI scheduling algorithms, we successfully automated 14 driving cranes, resulting in a 40% increase in warehouse efficiency and zero accidents. In the energy sector, our Quantum PLC dual-machine hot standby solution for the Shaanxi Hydropower Station helped improve control accuracy to ±0.1%, while also reducing the operation and maintenance team by 35%. For small and medium-sized enterprises, our work with HVAC systems has provided substantial savings. For instance, a recent hospital air conditioning project saved over 800,000 yuan in electricity costs annually through the integration of energy-saving algorithms.
Leveraging Schneider Electric’s EcoFit™ Center in Beijing, we launched a "PLC reuse and renewal" service tailored to reduce transformation costs for our customers. By customizing compatible interfaces for local factory cabinets, we were able to reduce transformation costs by 30%. Additionally, the ATV Predict tool has been instrumental in preventing motor overload failures, saving our customers 2 million yuan in potential losses. One of our key projects involved transforming a power plant’s auxiliary control network, where we utilized the Quantum PLC integration subsystem to cut carbon emissions by 1,800 tons annually, while helping the client secure government green subsidies.
We are also actively introducing the latest Schneider technologies to the regional market, providing customers with the tools needed to stay ahead in an increasingly digitalized world. For example, the deployment of Automation Copilot, which has improved engineers' programming efficiency by 50% across five customer sites, is just one way we are bringing AI industrialization to life. In a pilot project at a Wuxi factory, we successfully deployed a 5G+PLC solution that compressed the production line adjustment cycle from 7 days to just 72 hours, dramatically improving efficiency. Additionally, the new M660 motion controller has enabled local machinery factories to reduce hardware costs by 35%, providing significant savings and enhancing production capabilities.
As a service provider deeply embedded in the market, we offer our clients a dedicated team of Schneider-certified engineers and a 24-hour response mechanism, ensuring the highest levels of service and support. By combining Schneider Electric's global technology with our local expertise, we are confident in our ability to help businesses embrace the future of smart manufacturing, creating solutions that are both efficient and sustainable.
