Schneider Electric’s Le Vaudreuil site has implemented industrial internet of things sensors connected to digital platforms, including real-time digital twins of plant installations, such as heating pumps and the lighting system.

They unlock data to optimize energy management (-25%), reduce material waste (-17%) and minimize CO2 emissions (-25%) with the objective to be net-zero carbon by 2025, without offset and ahead of Schneider Electric’s global pledge. The smart factory is also equipped with a zero-reject water recycling station connected to cloud analytics and monitored by an AI model to forecast process drifts, leading to 64% water reduction.
