Schneider Electric SmartStruxure building management solution

Schneider Electric has announced the release of its SmartStruxure solution, designed to maximise building efficiency and reduce operating costs across the entire life cycle of a facility. SmartStruxure is made up of hardware and software that is combined with engineering, installation and services to ensure facilities are energy efficient and effectively managed.

The SmartStruxure solution breaks down traditional information silos and delivers integrated building information and real-time data via web access, powerful graphics and trend visualisations, rich reports and mobile applications, to ensure buildings are running at maximum efficiency. Built on open standards, SmartStruxure provides seamless integration through LON, BACnet, Modbus, Web Services and Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Web Services. In addition, SmartStruxure enables numerous advanced building services, such as automatic mechanical equipment analytics and building optimisation.

SmartStruxure provides benefits across the spectrum of building stakeholders: architects and engineers save time and money with an integrated solution from a trusted business partner; building owners and managers get a robust platform that is scalable and easy to use; and business executives have instant access to energy and sustainability metrics, enabling them to better make decisions and control costs.

The SmartStruxure solution is powered by StruxureWare Building Operation software, which provides integrated monitoring, control and management of HVAC, energy, lighting and other critical building systems. Additionally, this application will connect easily to other StruxureWare software within suites, developed to address the unique needs of key market segments. Supported by EcoStruxure Web Services, the suites will unify key software applications across all levels of an enterprise, providing a scalable platform, easy integration with legacy and third-party systems, and a consistent user experience.
