INTEGRATION

Profile Overview: Schneider Electric In this profile overview, learn what makes Schneider Electric the global specialist in energy management.

As the global specialist in energy

management, Schneider Electric

has a 177-year legacy of innovation,

international scope, and corporate

responsibility. Across three centuries,

Schneider Electric has contributed to

the transformation of multiple industries,

including iron, steel, shipbuilding, and

electricity. Today, more than 140,000

employees in over 100 countries bring

a singular mission to their work each

day: to help people make the most of

their energy.

An active player in energy

“As a specialist in efficiency technologies,

Schneider Electric has been an active

contributor to the debates over the world

energy challenge and climate change,”

says Jean-Pascal Tricoire,

Chairman & CEO.

“The world of energy is under important

pressure and undergoing large

transitions. Energy prices, commercial

unbalance due to energy imports, energy

availability, climate change, and pollution

in large cities are many challenges

demanding a different energy paradigm.

The convergence of IT and energy

technologies, and the new affordability

of renewable energy open the door to

a new world, a world where energy is

saved systematically, produced closer to

consumption, and where the environment

is connected and accessible,” says Tricoire.

“Users, managers, and utilities will work

together to save more and share better

energy, and integrate a more intelligent

energy for more intelligent and efficient

cities. It is time for everyone to become

an active player in energy, by saving,

producing, and consuming energy in

the same place.

Schneider Electric is helping people navigate the transition to a new energy world.

Schneider Electric is helping people

navigate the transition to a new energy

world. This is the mission, the aspiration,

and the ambition of our 140,000

employees, in the 100 countries where

we operate. We will continue to serve our

customers wherever they develop, meet

challenges, and innovate to build a more

efficient world.”

“You must be the change

you wish to see in the

world.” With this quote,

Mahatma Gandhi inspires

the foundation of the

Schneider Electric mindset.

Walking the talk in Sustainability

“You must be the change you wish to see

in the world.” With this quote,

Mahatma Gandhi inspires the foundation

of the Schneider Electric mindset.

Making energy:

• Safe

• Reliable

• Efficient

• Productive

• Green

Beyond business solutions,

Schneider Electric covers all aspects

of sustainable development: society,

governance and environment. And

because one cannot manage what they

cannot measure, Schneider Electric

monitors its progress with a unique tool:

the Planet & Society Barometer.

Furthermore, to demonstrate its

sustainability commitment, Schneider

Electric is active in major socially

responsible investment indexes

including the Dow Jones Sustainability

Indexes and the Carbon Disclosure

Project (CDP).

In addition to the aforementioned

external commitments, Schneider Electric

has launched an internal community,

“Sustainability Fellows,” so that every

member of the Schneider Electric

organization can learn about, build and

communicate the sustainability story of

the company.

Spotlight on Value Creation

Invensys Software: Growing Stronger with InduSoft Invensys and InduSoft join forces to deliver unique, exceptional value to industrial automation customers worldwide.

Devices are becoming increasingly

intelligent. Major players such as

Microsoft, Google and Apple are

investing heavily in devices and cloud

services, and it is expected that this

trend will eventually penetrate the

industrial market on a grand scale. For

instance, the Intelligent Embedded

Devices segment is seeing rapid growth,

characterized by Original Equipment

Manufacturers (OEM) embedding

software and computer hardware into

their final product.

To capitalize on these shifts in the

software market and continue delivering

enhanced value to customers, Invensys

Software decided to explore the

embedded intelligent device and

embedded HMI segments. In so doing,

Invensys sought out the best partner to

create the most comprehensive portfolio

of software tools for HMI and industrial

automation on the market.

That partner would be InduSoft.

InduSoft: Leader in Embedded HMI and

Intelligent Embedded Devices

InduSoft has been the leader in

developing a robust, fully-featured

platform for embedded HMIs and

intelligent embedded devices for over

a decade. The company’s reputable

software interfaces with industrial devices,

such as machines, controllers and

computers, for industrial computer OEMs,

as well as machine and system builder

usage. By virtue of its horizontal, versatile

multi-industry technology, InduSoft

maintains a strong position and growing

influence on the high-volume, low-end

embedded market. Furthermore, the

company has a wide range of industrial

computer partners offering competitive

solutions.

Over and above its award-winning

technology and partner ecosystem,

InduSoft is led by a talented team

of leaders with a proven record of

execution, as well as dedicated experts in

visualization and industrial systems. This

high-energy culture is comparable to that

of Invensys, forging an ideal alliance.

A Natural Extension…

InduSoft is a natural extension to the

Invensys software portfolio. In addition

to similar cultures, talent and thought

leadership, Invensys Wonderware and

InduSoft offerings complement one

another, thereby collectively enhancing

the value of our overall portfolio.

The partnership enables Invensys

to focus on building software for

its traditional HMI, Supervisory,

Geo-SCADA, Historian and Manufacturing

Operations Management segments while

utilizing InduSoft software for intelligent

embedded devices; in parallel, InduSoft

is able to focus on building software

for intelligent embedded devices and

expand its capabilities in this segment

while leveraging Invensys’ global

resources and cutting-edge technology.

Investing in Value Creation

Synonymous with Invensys’ vision

of becoming the leader

in industrial software

and plans for continued

inorganic growth, the

alliance will extend our

solutions capabilities,

thereby providing

customers with

a full range of easily-accessible, state-of-

the-art offerings.

“The acquisition of InduSoft represents

the continuing execution of our strategy

to strengthen our portfolio through

inorganic means, enabling us to target

additional segments across our portfolio,”

says Ravi Gopinath, President, Software

Business. “InduSoft strengthens and

broadens our leading software solutions

portfolio, particularly in the embedded

HMI segment, and provides a continuing

driver for growth…”

By joining forces with InduSoft, Invensys’

software portfolio currently ranges

from high-volume embedded devices,

to Cloud services, manufacturing

operations, asset management and

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

integration. Customers can choose to

start with machine level, line, plant, site

and enterprise-wide HMI and visualization

solutions, and scale in either direction,

up or down in size and functionality using

InduSoft and Wonderware software.

Bringing both the plant-wide and

intelligent embedded solutions together

is especially important for machine

builders and OEMs who want to offer

their customers both a stable HMI, and

the capability to integrate their machines

into the broader network of the plant’s

management systems.
