Both the depth and breadth of the industrial chain, coupled with the huge market size, so that the automotive industry has been the national industrial strength of the “excellent representative”. However, with deep “qualifications”, it is also necessary to “keep pace with The Times”, in recent years, internal and external factors such as new track competition and industrial efficiency demand continue to jointly promote the automotive industry to accelerate the transformation from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing”.

As a global expert in digital transformation in energy management and automation, Schneider Electric has been working in the automotive industry for many years, connecting upstream and downstream information flows through total solutions based on the EcoStruxureTM IoT Industrial Internet platform. Relying on data collection station, industrial Internet of Things integrated platform, integrated operation management dispatching center and digital transformation planning consulting, the four-layer solution covering workshop edge layer, smart factory, enterprise operation and supply chain and decision-making responds to different needs of enterprise edge layer, platform layer and application layer, and helps the digital transformation of the industry.

EcoStruxureTM IoT Industrial Internet platform to create a “new engine” of green intelligent manufacturing

Industrial digital transformation, is a data-driven industrial revolution, the automotive industry also needs data to drive the digital transformation of car companies – only decentralized data is not enough, so that the production equipment interconnection, data collection, storage, and highly used, in order to achieve the goal of digital transformation.

The EcoStruxureTM IoT Industrial Internet platform launched by Schneider Electric is committed to becoming the core and “engine” of the smart factory of the future: the platform can be cross-operating systems, and can be “seamlessly integrated” with the existing information system of the enterprise, providing excellent data computing, storage services and application support services, while ensuring data security.

Rich computing services to provide a variety of industry analytical diagnostic models
Large scale computing storage and compression ability, saving storage costs
Fine-grained data security and support for data backup and recovery
Predictive maintenance of PMA equipment
Manufacturing production system “Good assistant”
Predictive maintenance consultant for enterprise production escort

The car is composed of thousands of parts, like a “super toy”, but the assembly difficulty is far beyond imagination: from the production of parts to the delivery of the vehicle, the process involves a variety of equipment processes, “affecting the whole body”. In order to ensure the safety, continuity and stability of production, predictive maintenance of critical equipment has become a “top priority”.

In the EcoStruxure Plant solution, Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Predictive Maintenance Advisor (PMA) solution improves overall equipment health, anticipates equipment failures in advance, and avoids unplanned outages. Reduce maintenance costs and improve the overall efficiency of equipment to ensure that production plans are executed on schedule, timely response to customer market needs, and effectively reduce manufacturing costs.

Provide accurate and timely alarms to critical production equipment to reduce the number of unplanned shutdowns;
Predict equipment failure in advance, so that each department can adjust production schedule in advance to avoid the situation of short supply;
The accurate location of equipment faults is of great reference to on-site inspection personnel in equipment maintenance.
Improve the information level of plant equipment management, access process parameters, and achieve real-time monitoring and interconnection of equipment status;
Staff of all departments sign in and punch in, and implement the tracking and tracing of key equipment inspection and performance scoring.
