Schneider Electric at Hannover Messe: Pioneering the Future of Industrial Automation
In the heart of Germany, from April 22 to 26, Hannover Messe stands as the beacon of industrial innovation, hosting the world’s leading trade fair for industrial technology. Amid the bustling halls filled with the latest in technology and automation, Schneider Electric has taken the stage to share its forward-thinking approach to industrial automation, electrification, and software solutions.
The stage for this reveal was set with the launch of EcoStruxure Automation Expert in 2020, a groundbreaking step toward an open, software-defined future for industrial automation. Schneider Electric’s commitment to this vision continues to deepen, as it crafts a unified, scalable automation ecosystem suited for a variety of industrial processes, whether they be continuous, hybrid, or discrete.

The goal is clear: to empower industries to be more agile, innovative, and competitive while safeguarding investments and driving down total costs of ownership. By simplifying system complexities and enhancing operational efficiency, Schneider Electric believes it can significantly bolster industry resilience and productivity.
“The reality is that much of the automation systems in use today were conceived and implemented decades ago. These systems are typically locked into hardware specific to a single supplier, a situation that existed before the advent of today’s sophisticated computing capabilities,” commented Barbara Frei, Executive Vice President of Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric. She elaborates on the transformative impact of software-defined automation and the company’s open strategy. This innovative approach not only reduces the inherent complexity of existing systems but also offers unprecedented flexibility. Customers now have the liberty to update or modify their automation systems according to their current needs, preferences, and from their chosen providers.
