"This is what Schneider Electric refers to as the 'industrial sustainability triad'." Organisations that have successfully integrated process performance and electrical power consumption into a single overview report benefits such as a 20 per cent capex reduction, a 15 per cent decrease in downtime, a 7-12 per cent reduction in carbon footprint, and a 3 per cent increase in profitability, says Urbano. In a real-world example, Padania Acque is the water services provider for 113 municipalities in the Italian province of Cremona. It offers water supply, sewerage, and wastewater treatment solutions, as well as distributing water for domestic, commercial, and industrial use. Teaming up with Schneider Electric to use advisory and simulation solutions, among others, to monitor and optimise its entire water supply system, Padania Acque is now able to take predictive actions to ensure reliable and sustainable operations for its customers.
