Schneider Electric Strengthens IIoT Market Position with Smart Inverter Products
Published2018.03.22 18:38Expected to reduce downtime and improve energy efficiency and productivity
Schneider Electric is moving to strengthen its presence in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market based on inverter products with enhanced safety and connectivity. The company plans to focus on 'Altivar Process' and 'Altivar Machine ATV320' among its smart inverter product lineup.
Active movements are occurring in the domestic manufacturing market to pursue digital transformation in preparation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. To achieve this, digital innovation through IIoT technology is fundamentally required. Schneider Electric has introduced EcoStruxure, an integrated architecture and platform for efficient energy management and process optimization by incorporating Internet of Things technology.
EcoStruxure is composed of three layers in total: connected products with mutual communication capabilities as the hardware portion, edge control that connects hardware and software, and applications, analytics, and services that connect services and software.
'Altivar Process' and 'Altivar Machine ATV320' are devices corresponding to connected products that are interconnected to collect information and serve as the foundation for implementing Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
Both products comply with Europe's demanding and rigorous stability standards and provide integrated safety functions to ensure user safety. Additionally, integrated control system functionality that can be customized to all automation architectures enables adjustment and use tailored to specific application fields. Altivar Process is actively used in industrial sectors such as water treatment, oil and gas, mining, and food and beverage, while Altivar Machine ATV320 is being applied in multiple ways in the industrial machinery manufacturing and OEM market that considers cost and operational efficiency.
Information collected from Altivar Process and Altivar Machine ATV320 impacts all layers of EcoStruxure. Through edge control, real-time monitoring enables the utilization of incident management, analytics, and asset information. Schneider Electric products including Modicon, Foxboro, PacDrive, and EcoStruxure Expert series correspond to this. Applications, analytics, and services at the top level enhance resilience and visibility through sensor data, predictive analytics capabilities, and smart customer alarm services, providing professional approaches through real-time monitoring. EcoStruxure Machine Advisor, EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor, EcoStruxure Mobile Operator Advisor, and EcoStruxure Secure Connect Advisor correspond to this.
Chae Kyo-moon, Head of Schneider Electric Korea's Industry Business Division, stated, "'Altivar Process' and 'Altivar Machine ATV320' are open products integrated into all automation architectures, enabling real-time identification of motor and energy data in the system, and are expected to contribute to productivity improvements of up to 20%," adding, "We will endeavor to expand IIoT-based business and provide better value as a company leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution based on the EcoStruxure platform."
