Design engineers enable the future of automation with robotics


Industrial business requirements are driving the demand for robot technology and design engineers are poised to capitalise on this need using innovation from Schneider Electric. As companies look to increase productivity, flexibility and quality while also addressing the growing skills gap and labour shortage issues, design engineers are able to develop robotic solutions that sit at the forefront of digitisation and automation.

Schneider Electric EcoStruxure™ (IoT-enabled, open, and interoperable architecture and platform) unleashes the power of industrial robots.

EcoStruxure for all

Schneider Electric goes beyond robots to provide fully integrated robotic systems – digitally designed from concept to operation and maintenance. Integrating robots into the machine control solution through EcoStruxure™ collaborative data can flow from shop-floor to top-floor, by connecting smart products, robots, controls, software, and services.

Using standards-based communication protocols, design engineers can implement smart devices to perform native analytics and control decisions while developing monitoring and visualisation capabilities across the enterprise.

Robot or Cobot
No matter what system a design engineer has been tasked with creating, whether that includes a secured robot unit or cobot working alongside the human operator, EcoStruxure Machine Expert Twin can reduce time-to-market by up to 50% and commissioning time by up to 60%. EcoStruxure Machine Expert Twin is a digital twin software suite that lets you create digital models of real machines, including robots. Before building the machine, you can test a virtual design, perform virtual commissioning, and undertake parallel engineering and optimisation of mechanical and electrical controls.

Design engineers can unlock the full potential of robotics and automation with the supported suite of EcoStruxure Plant and Machine solutions from Schneider Electric.
