  • Incorporated Prescient's solution into Schneider Electric's Industrial Edge Applications

  • Speeds up implementation, time-to-market, and scaling

Introduction

Schneider Electric is a leading provider of IoT and edge AI solutions. Its advanced edge AI solutions are used in industries such as energy, water, chemicals, and manufacturing to improve efficiency and reduce downtime.

Challenges

As Schneider Electric expands its edge AI solutions into more industries, a challenge it faces is that many customers want to be able to configure the deployed solutions and fine tune them to evolving needs. But this can be time-consuming, expensive and non-scalable. This is because today’s edge solution development frameworks require strong technology expertise that most customers do not have in house. Thus, they need to get back to Schneider Electric for any customization requests. These challenges slow down edge solution implementation and market adoption.

Solution

Schneider Electric partners with Prescient to provide rapid edge solution development capability. Prescient's distributed low-code edge application builder will be part of Schneider Electric's Industrial Edge Applications offered by their Industrial Automation Services organization, helping Schneider Electric's business units and customers to rapidly build and customize edge applications and integrate with Schneider Electric's industry-leading edge AI solutions.
