Schneider Electric has announced the winners of its 2018 Global Alliance Excellence Awards, which recognise Schneider Electric system integrator partner companies for innovation and exceptional service.
“Switching from technology integration to value integration is not a simple task,” said Jérôme Firmin, vice president strategic marketing, Schneider Electric.
“It represents a significant shift in practice and culture for both the SIs and their customers. This year’s winners exemplify the value created with our offerings by empowering customers to migrate away from the traditional control hierarchy, to actual plant asset topology, and an asset-centric architecture that controls their most critical business risks and variables. Through their collaboration with Schneider Electric, these partners helped our customers ignite the industrial control profit engine of their business.
“Today’s digital manufacturing environment presents new opportunities for data collection from smart monitoring and control devices that collect and analyse critical data. To assist in the process, SIs can embed algorithms into machine controls to draw on real-time production data stored in plant historians and databases. Software tools with integrated dashboards, for example, can translate data for analysis and report on the performance of individual assets and asset sets to provide a view into the health and profitability of systems that impact entire manufacturing processes.
As these awards demonstrate, SIs, distributors and technology and innovation partners play a key role in bringing the full benefit of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure platform to the market.”
The awards were presented at a celebration during Schneider Electric’s annual Global Alliance Partners conference. The winners include:
• Global Control System Alliance Partner of the Year: Trend Ingeniería (Argentina).
• Global EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS Alliance Partner of the Year: SuperTech Instrumentation Services (India) and Master Systèmes (France).
• Global Telemetry Alliance Partner of the Year Award Winner: Bit Control (Italy).
• Global EcoStruxure Partner of the Year Award Winner: Control Software Solutions (South Africa).
• Certified Expert of the Year Award Winner: Siraparn Panukonpatsawe, Unity Focus, (Thailand).
