Energy management firm Schneider Electric is collaborating with Capgemini to help organizations better monitor and manage their energy assets. Their Energy Command Center platform is designed to help organizations make their facility management smarter and greener.

The Energy Command Center is an integrated and centralized platform will monitor, predict, control, and optimize all building assets.that consume electricity including data centers or critical environment rooms. The platform combines artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to measure and predict metrics such as energy intensity, health of critical assets, critical operations, renewable energy generation, and the overall performance across all energy assets.

Schneider Electric’s connected products, edge control, and advisory applications help organizations efficiently manage their energy supply across assets including factories, offices, or other infrastructure, while also reducing energy consumption across their operations in one integrated platform. Capgemini leveraged its expertise in data integration and processing, AI and machine learning, and the integration of all products and software in a central decision-making platform.

The Energy Command Center uses real-time energy consumption and carbon emission data combined with modular and interoperable building management software and systems to help lower energy consumption and spend to meeting net-zero goals.

“We are at a pivotal moment for the energy transition and are thrilled to join forces and combine our deep technology and data expertise with Schneider Electric’s reputed solutions, to empower organizations to manage and accelerate their energy decarbonization pathway,” said Aiman Ezzat, CEO at Capgemini, in a press release.

Peter Herweck, CEO at Schneider Electric, said “Tackling the energy and climate crises is paramount, and energy efficiency plays a key role in mitigating these challenges. Decarbonization through electrification and digitization is a necessity for a sustainable future. We are very excited to collaborate with Capgemini, as it allows us to further advance our efforts to drive energy efficiency and sustainable practices. Together we can make a meaningful impact.”
