Schneider Electric to unveil new automation strategy
The importance of systems integrators in both the development of new equipment and the installation of process and production plant is increasing in the UK. This trend has led Schneider Electric to initiate a new programme for its System Integrator (SI) Alliance partnerships, starting with a conference in Coventry on 21 and 22 February 2008.
Schneider Electric's SI partners are very carefully selected for technical excellence and application experience. By strictly controlling those businesses that are eligible to enter the programme, Schneider Electric is better able to share its technical expertise freely within the Alliance. This extends to providing access to new products developments including both hardware and software.
The SI event in February is to further nurture the relationship and shared technical knowledge between the company and its SIs. Schneider Electric's new automation strategy will be unveiled, together with working demonstrations of equipment in a product 'speed dating' format. The second day is devoted to technical seminars covering a broad range of topics from collaborative engineering to SIL safety standards and from lean engineering principles to the deployment of SCADA systems.
Technical experts from across the company's Industrial Systems and Solutions business will be on hand throughout the event to deliver presentations and answer specific queries.
