Schneider expands manufacturing software with Invensys 03 October 2014

Automation and operations management systems giant Schneider Electric has revealed an expanded software portfolio, building on its acquisition of Invensys systems earlier this year.

"Acquiring Invensys technology and people has reinvigorated and strengthened Schneider Electric's position in the industrial automation and operations management software market," comments Daniel Doimo, executive vice president of Schneider Electric's global solutions business.

"Bringing Schneider Electric and Invensys technology together enables the delivery of proven innovation, world-leading brands and powerful new solutions that improve efficiency, manage risk and drive higher levels of customer value," he adds.

Schneider customers will benefit from a comprehensive portfolio of operations management software that "spans the entire value chain" of manufacturing and industrial plants, he says.

"Combining existing Schneider Electric software offerings with newly acquired Avantis [asset managment], SimSci [operator training simulator] and Wonderware [manufacturing execution system] software offerings allows us to deliver the broadest, richest and most flexible set of industrial software solutions on the market today," adds Ravi Gopinath, executive vice president, Schneider Electric software business.

"For example, we now offer a fit-for-purpose operations management software portfolio for greater historical archiving, increased mobility, stronger analytics, better reporting and improved workflow, and we're also able to provide end-to-end value chain solutions for the oil and gas, M3 and food and beverage industries."
