Over the past 36 years, Schneider Electric has always adhered to the “multi-center” strategy, continuously increased its investment in China, continuously strengthened the construction of the “China Center”, and established an integrated mechanism of research, production and marketing that covers R&D, supply chain, ecological partners and other forces.
Schneider Electric Suzhou plant was officially built in 2003, after 20 years of development, Suzhou plant has become the only transformer production base of Schneider Electric in China and the largest production capacity in the world. From the Asian logistics center to the global R&D center, the first to launch the digital transformation “Lighthouse factory” project, and then awarded the title of “Zero carbon Factory”, Schneider Electric has launched a number of major projects and projects in Suzhou Industrial Park, promoting the deep integration of green and digital technology and manufacturing, and building a sound green intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. Make positive contributions to local high-quality and green development.
In 2023, the Suzhou plant will mark its 20th anniversary and complete an important new plant expansion project. The expansion of the new plant has increased the area of the Suzhou production base by 60% and expanded the production capacity by more than 60%. In the process of expansion, the Suzhou factory actively practiced the concept of green and low carbon, and strengthened the intelligent manufacturing layout to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of green and low carbon, digital and

intelligent, among which:
Practice the concept of green environmental protection and sustainable development: in terms of building design and material use, the use of environmentally friendly materials and high-performance green building materials, while optimizing the building structure, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions; At the same time to strengthen the use of new energy, the new plant roof photovoltaic equipment is expected to be completed in 2024, can meet the power demand of the factory 18%, about 200 tons of CO2 emissions per year; In addition, strengthening the treatment of waste water, waste gas, noise and other aspects has reduced environmental pollution.
The introduction of digital technology and intelligent equipment, strengthen the automation and information level of the production line: through the intelligent management of digital software, real-time monitoring, data analysis and optimization of the production process, improve production efficiency and quality, while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
In terms of intelligent manufacturing, the comprehensive layout of intelligent manufacturing ecosystem: the introduction of intelligent manufacturing core technologies and advanced equipment to achieve automation, intelligence and flexibility of production lines. At the same time, strengthening close cooperation with suppliers, customers and R&D centers has achieved resource sharing and optimized configuration, and promoted the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing
After the completion of the expansion, the production capacity, research and development strength and supply chain management capacity of Schneider Electric Suzhou plant will be further improved, and through capacity planning, product classification, flexible production, resource sharing and collaborative innovation means to achieve the linkage of old and new production lines and efficient production, to quickly meet the market demand and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises to provide support.
