Digitalization is gaining momentum, Industry 4.0 is in full bloom, and the most forward-thinking companies are choosing to collaborate to fully unlock the potential of technology.
Digitalization with growth in sight
“There is a lot happening in industrial Norway. Industrial companies need to strengthen their competitiveness through increased digitization and sustainability. They need innovation and competent partners. Onninen wants - through its membership in the Schneider Electric Alliance Program for industrial automation distributors - to offer its customers the automation solutions of the future through faster deliveries, competent expert support and closer cooperation with system integrators and machine builders”, says Marius Lier, responsible for the industrial segment at Onninen.
“We see great opportunities for growth, and closer collaboration with Schneider Electric will lead us there. It will strengthen Onninen in several areas, but especially in industrial automation," he emphasizes.
Onninen’ s goal, through the partnership, is to develop both competence and experience to handle more advanced and complex industrial projects and deliver customized digital solutions to its customers.
Schneider Electric, on the other hand, is ready to provide technical support and training:
“Onninen is a forward-thinking and future-oriented distribution partner. Like us at Schneider Electric, they are dedicated to shaping the future of Norwegian industry. Together, we offer both world-leading technology and local expertise. It will be an exciting collaboration that can bear fruit in terms of good business for us and our end-customers," says Yngvar Ødegaard, Sales Director Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric Norway.
Schneider Electric's Alliance Program is designed to build and recognize the competence of distributor partners who truly want to step up to the next-generation solutions for industrial automation. They consist of connected products and software that provide improved productivity, sustainability, and smarter maintenance.
This is what customers will experience
For Onninen, the needs of machine builders and panel builders in the maritime and offshore industries are at the forefront:
Through this program, we will provide training and strengthen the competence of 11 of our employees, who can provide advice on product selection, applications, software, and best practices," says Atle Damm, Senior Category Manager at Onninen.
«Schneider Electric Alliance Program will also shape our marketing, with a focused emphasis on digital technology. Our customers will receive more relevant and competence-enhancing content. Our focus is on product groups and solutions that enhance customers' sustainability through the interaction of products and systems. And by sustainability, we mean more efficient operations where more is achieved with fewer resources and energy. Product areas such as PLCs, variable speed drives, circuit breakers, and energy meters will be prioritized. But in general, we will focus on a more holistic approach to the field through the delivery of complete solutions," concludes Atle Damm.
