Solving the problem of electrical maintenance: What do experts from Schneider Electric say?

Every system is at risk of unexpected disruption, causing huge financial and reputational damage.

According to the Uptime Institute 2023 report, more than 50% of businesses globally face serious downtime incidents, with average costs exceeding $100,000 per incident. This situation not only causes financial losses but also affects the reputation and stability of the business. Especially in Vietnam, the lack of proactive maintenance systems and effective power system management has put many businesses at risk of great loss.

In response to these challenges, Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management software and solutions, has introduced a pair of services, EcoCare and EcoConsult, which are exclusive privileges from the company to help businesses optimize operational efficiency, minimize risks and save costs, while shaping new standards for the electrical and automation industry.

Predictive maintenance is an optimal choice to minimize risks and create sustainable competitive advantage.

EcoCare is a proactive maintenance service developed by Schneider Electric to help businesses keep their electrical systems running smoothly and efficiently. This service is specifically designed to minimize the risk of disruptions during operations, thereby minimizing the costs arising from downtime. It also provides exclusive access to leading technical experts, 24/7 support and maintenance recommendations based on the actual condition of the equipment, helping businesses quickly detect and handle problems before they become serious incidents.

In addition, EcoCare uses advanced digital technology to help businesses monitor and optimize their electrical systems from the start. Technologies such as Digital Twin help recreate and simulate the operation of electrical systems in a digital environment, providing detailed information and predicting problems that may arise in the future. This helps businesses be proactive in maintenance, avoiding the situation of waiting for problems to occur before fixing them.

Empowering partners and customers to act sustainably and become #ImpactMakers is Schneider Electric's mission

While EcoCare focuses on the maintenance and monitoring of electrical systems, EcoConsult offers in-depth consulting to assess and improve a business's entire electrical system. The service uses Digital Twin technology to create a detailed simulation of existing electrical equipment and systems, and then provides recommendations for optimizing performance, safety, and sustainability.

EcoConsult also has the strength of accurately assessing the factors that impact the performance of the system, helping businesses make informed decisions about investing in new technologies or improving current processes. EcoConsult not only helps improve operational efficiency but also helps businesses improve their ability to comply with environmental regulations and save energy.

According to Schneider Electric, in the context of rapidly evolving technology and rising energy costs, EcoCare and EcoConsult help organizations make the right decisions, leveraging the power of technology and data to optimize operations, minimize risks and accelerate their journey to zero emissions.
