Various factors, such as power distribution, equipment automation, and stable power supply, must be considered in ship operations. Based on its IoT-enabled digital architecture 'EcoStruxure,' Schneider Electric provides devices and systems optimized for ships, marine environments, and shipbuilding to manage equipment automation, energy management, engine room cooling, safe power supply, and prevention of electrical system damage.

EcoStruxure consists of three layers: connected products, edge control, and apps, analytics, and services, and can be used not only on ships but also in buildings and factories.

The connected product layer includes digital air circuit breakers (MasterPact MTZ), molded case circuit breakers (MCCB), drives/inverters (Artivar Process), motor protection relays (EOCR), programmable logic controllers (Modicon PLC), human-machine interfaces (HMI), Galaxy 3-phase uninterruptible power supplies (Galaxy 3-phase UPS), Easergy P5 high-voltage equipment protection relays, and Premset high-voltage switchboards. By attaching sensors to each product to collect information, the edge control layer can monitor the status and performance of the hardware in real time.

The edge control layer includes the 'EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert' open software architecture, which can be integrated with third-party SCADA energy management and automation systems. Through this, devices throughout the electrical system are connected, and process control systems and various other functions are integrated to provide analysis information on the electrical system status and energy efficiency.

In the app, analytics, and service layers, 'EcoStruxure Asset Advisor' performs predictive analysis of circuit breakers, which are key equipment in switchboards, to minimize the risk of power failures and optimize maintenance efficiency.
