Schneider Electric Wins 'Most Efficient Ship Solution' Award
Published2018.02.06 15:18Schneider Electric won the 'Most Efficient Ship Solution Award' at the 'International Green Shipping & Maritime Technology Summit' held in Athens, Greece in 2017.
The award-winning solution is Schneider Electric's IoT-enabled digital architecture, EcoStruxure. It consists of three layers—connected products, edge control, and apps, analytics, and services—and can be implemented in buildings, industrial sites, as well as cruise ships and ferries.
Connected products applied to vessels include connected circuit breaker solutions, and edge control features the Power Monitoring Expert open software architecture, which can be integrated with third-party SCADA energy management and automation systems. In addition, the app, analytics, and services feature predictive analytics provided by the EcoStruxure Asset Advisor service to resolve internal issues in power distribution equipment, thereby minimizing the risk of power failures and optimizing maintenance.
“Maintenance plays a critical role in ensuring the safe navigation of ships,” said René Andersen, Marine Sales and Marketing Manager at Schneider Electric. “22% of fires on board are caused by electrical equipment failures, and 17% are caused by improperly performed service.”
“Regular maintenance alone can prevent up to 77% of fires. Now, ships can perform optimized condition-based maintenance through EcoStruxure solutions equipped with new digital architecture and platform technologies, reducing downtime and repair costs and implementing optimized maintenance cycles to comply with Class Societies regulations at minimal cost,” he emphasized.
Schneider Electric has over 90 years of experience in the marine industry and a strong presence in major shipbuilding markets. It possesses a complete portfolio of energy management solutions, ranging from shore power connections, power distribution, and mechanical protection and control to ship automation systems and power supply stability, which it provides to the warship, merchant vessel, and offshore market sectors. Recently, Schneider Electric installed a shore power connection for the Veendam, a cruise ship operated by the cruise line Holland America, at the newly constructed Alexandra Cruise Terminal in Old Montreal, Canada. Accordingly, it is estimated that more than 2,800 tons of greenhouse gas emissions can be prevented annually.
The International Green Shipping and Technology Summit, hosted annually by the Global Industrial Events Summit, focuses on ships, shipbuilding, and eco-friendly marine technologies aimed at reducing marine pollution and increasing ship efficiency with the goal of EU 2020. Additionally, over 200 marine experts and global companies with significant influence in the maritime industry participate.

슈나이더 일렉트릭, 반도체 시장 성장에 따라 설비/기술 공급 확대
슈나이더 일렉트릭이 반도체 시장 성장에 맞춘 핵심 설비 및 기술 공급 확대에 적극 나설 계획이라고 밝혔다. 슈나이더 일렉트릭의 이러한 사업 확대는 2017년부터 이어진 유래없는 반도체 호황에 따른 전략 강화다. 지난 3일 국제반도체장비재료협회(SEMI)에서도 'SEMI 세계 팹(Fab) 전망' 발표를 통해 2018년 전세계 반도체 팹(공장) 장비 투자액이 사상 최대 규모인 630억 달러를 기록할 것이라 예측했다. 이같은 투자를 주도하는 것은 바로 한국 기업이 될 전망으로, 증대된 반도체 수요 증가 및 메모리 가격 강세에 맞춘 높은 수준의 장비 투자가 이루어질 예정이다. 슈나이더 일렉트릭은 반도체 공장 및 산업 현장에서 정전이나 전력 설비 고장으로 인한 사고에 대해 피해가 큰 점을 감안해 일정 시간 동안 정상적으로 전원을 공급하는 무정전 전원 공급 장치(UPS)에 주목한다. 건물, 데이터센터 및 산업 현장 전반에 적용 가능한 이 솔루션은 반도체 공장의 필수 설비 중 하나다. 반도체 공장은 이전부터 공장 설비에 UPS가 차지하는 중요도가 높아 안정적인 에너지 공급과 신뢰성 높은 제품 투자에 집중한다.

SalePoint Signs Multi-Year Partnership Agreement with AWS… Promoting Identity Security that Integrates Even AI Agents
Sailpoint has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with AWS and is moving forward with establishing an integrated governance system that manages both human and non-human identities together. The plan is to consistently manage access permissions in an environment where AI agents are increasing as work execution entities, while applying the principle of least privilege and automated policy enforcement. The two companies plan to jointly expand capabilities to manage the identities of various entities, including AI agents, within a single layer in the AWS environment. This collaboration is interpreted as a move to design security and governance together in corporate environments where AI adoption is expanding.
