Schneider Electric forum highlights future opportunities

Schneider Electric recently hosted an enlightening forum as part of its global System Integrator Alliance Partner Programme, providing attendees with in-depth insights into industrial markets and their future opportunities.

The organisation’s distinctive Innovation Hub in Coventry, UK, played host to 55 Alliance Partners who had the opportunity to connect with industry peers, Schneider Electric senior leaders and experts. The event fostered the sharing of experiences, insights and exploration of potential collaborations from across the UK industrial enterprise ecosystem.

Participants were also able to gain invaluable industry knowledge, stay abreast of market trends, and learn more about the Schneider Electric portfolio of cutting-edge solutions designed to help system integrators and their customers establish and maintain a competitive advantage.

John Armstrong, controls and automation sales director said: “It’s a great pleasure to come and spend time with such an engaged community of Systems Integrators here in the UK. The role of SIs is vital to achieving the sustainability and digitalisation potential of UK industry and Schneider Electric places great value on the importance of events such as this one which provide a vital forum for the exchange of ideas and best practices.”

The event also provided in-depth workshops on pivotal topics, products and software, ensuring attendees left with enhanced skills and updated knowledge of the latest offerings. Furthermore, the myriad of benefits of becoming a System Integrator Alliance Partner and how such a partnership can significantly bolster business growth.

A highlight of the daytime activities was the awards ceremony, where delegates celebrated and acknowledged outstanding achievements of Schneider Electric Alliance Partners in their respective fields. NeoDyne won the Collaboration Award, Ematics were recognised for their integration of EcoStruxure solutions, Actemium Automation won the Modernisation Award, Platinum Electrical Engineering secured the Innovation Award and Laplace Solutions took home two recognitions – the Sustainability Award and the Training Excellence Award.

The evening reception culminated with a thought-provoking address from former England cricketer, Matthew Hoggard who both entertained and inspired delegates with his tales and lessons from an illustrious career in professional cricket.
