Schneider Electric: EcoStruxure Automation Expert V23.0

Schneider Electric Launches EcoStruxureTM Automation Expert V23.0: The Cutting-Edge Evolution of Industrial Automation

July 6, 2023

Schneider Electric has recently announced the launch of EcoStruxure Automation Expert V23.0  for the Canadian market.

EcoStruxure Automation Expert V23.0 is the latest version of the world’s first software-centric industrial automation system, Schneider claims. The solution represents a new approach to designing, building, operating, and maintaining industrial automation systems by enabling automation software to be separated from the hardware.

EcoStruxure Automation Expert is part of Schneider Electric’s broader vision of universal automation, a world of plug and produce automation applications that share a common runtime. The solution is an ecosystem that works like an app store for automation where vendors, end users, system integrators and OEMs share a common automation software layer across automation technology. This technological collaboration is driving the development of portable and interoperable automation solutions industrial enterprises can easily integrate regardless of the brand.

“We’re removing technology barriers by providing freedom for enterprises to break their dependency on proprietary industrial automation systems,” says Hugo Lafontaine, Vice President, Industrial Automation & EcoStruxure, Schneider Electric Canada. “EcoStruxure Automation Expert is like a user-friendly control panel that allows you to monitor and manage different aspects of industrial operations. We can think of it as a smart system that can communicate with different machines, devices, and sensors in a factory, and help them work together more efficiently.”

EcoStruxure Automation Expert is a cyber secure solution enabling factories, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and manufacturing plants to be more efficient, effective, and future-proof. The technology also frees up engineers to innovate and focus on high-value work by automating low-value and repetitive tasks.  

EcoStruxure Automation Expert V23.0 features include:
  • Enhanced integration with AVEVA System Platform to reuse graphics from existing applications for faster system design. EcoStruxure Automation Expert can connect to AVEVA Engineering and import plant design data for automated bulk engineering. It also enables scalable visualization for the enterprise control room by integrating with AVEVA System Platform
  • A new graphical editor for procedural automation which improves operational effectiveness
  • Multi-OS compatibility with the HMI and archive, now available on Linux and Windows, which allows users to develop similar objects across all compatible operating systems
  • Enables internal or external entities to work together to create the best solution to solve specific market challenges

Digital-first industrial enterprises and factories using EcoStruxure Automation Expert can attain increases in reliability, productivity, and sustainability from safe and secure operations that easily adapt to market changes and customer demands. The solution optimizes cost and performance with best in breed components since the software is vendor agnostic and separated from hardware.

    Electromate: Spring Applied & Power-Off Permanent Magnet Brakes – Engineering Failsafe Motion Control

    Most electromagnetic brakes work on a simple logic: apply current, apply braking. Remove current, release braking. For many industrial applications, conveyors, packaging lines, printing machines, this is exactly the right behavior. The brake engages on demand and releases when not needed. But for a significant class of machines, this logic is exactly backwards. Robots, vertical… Read More…
