Schneider Electric, Capgemini Agree on Energy Partnership

Schneider Electric, a company vested in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and Capgemini, a company focused on business and technology transformation services, announce a new collaboration in energy optimization. Designed to help organizations advance towards smarter and greener facility management and energy efficiency, the Energy Command Center leverages an end-to-end combination of digital solutions and technologies, to simplify energy management and optimize its consumption, the companies report.

The Energy Command Center solution, developed by Capgemini and powered by Schneider Electric, is an integrated and centralized platform to monitor, control and optimize all building assets consuming energy including data centers or critical environment rooms. The platform combines advanced artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning logics and algorithms, and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to measure and predict various metrics like energy intensity, health of critical assets, critical operations, renewable energy generation, and the overall performance across all energy assets.

Schneider Electric’s connected products, edge control, and advisory applications help organizations efficiently manage their energy supply across multiple assets, such as factories, offices, or other infrastructure, while also reducing energy consumption across their operations in one integrated platform. Capgemini brings its expertise in data integration and processing, AI and machine learning, and the integration of all products and software in a central decision-making platform.

Using real-time energy consumption and carbon emission data combined with modular and interoperable building management software and systems, the Energy Command Center helps to lower energy consumption and spend to help achieve organizational goals while accelerating towards a net-zero future.

“At Capgemini we are deeply convinced that there is an incredible untapped potential for digital technologies and data to accelerate the energy transition. We share this vision and commitment with Schneider Electric,” says Aiman Ezzat, CEO at Capgemini. “We are at a pivotal moment for the energy transition and are thrilled to join forces and combine our deep technology and data expertise with Schneider Electric’s reputed solutions, to empower organizations to manage and accelerate their energy decarbonization pathway.”

“Tackling the energy and climate crises is paramount, and energy efficiency plays a key role in mitigating these challenges," says Peter Herweck, CEO at Schneider Electric. "Decarbonization through electrification and digitization is a necessity for a sustainable future."
