Artificial Intelligence Solutions and AI use cases

Artificial intelligence is a vital part of our solutions that address business challenges. We deliver AI-based solutions leveraging our EcoStruxure^TM architecture and platform to our four end markets — Buildings, Data Centers, Infrastructure, and Industry.

AI inside our solutions

Industry

AI enables the management of critical quality parameters, stock management, automated visual inspection, industrial safety, and “self-healing” supply chain.
Building

AI is embedded in our thermal model, HVAC, gH2 flow, electrical load management, and building automation solutions.
Data center

AI is used in our solutions encompassing smart cooling, live sensor data, predictive analytics, and smart alarms in data centers.
Infrastructure

AI makes predictive maintenance possible with anomaly detection for resiliency in infrastructure.
Microgrid

AI plays a crucial role in electrical demand and supply management to empower microgrids.
Renewables and EV charging

AI empowers our customers to make data-based buying and selling decisions and manage demand peaks efficiently.

AI solutions at Schneider Electric

At Schneider Electric, we have customer care centers that receive around 7.5 million questions (tickets) a year from our customers. Until now, a person analyzed the ticket to guide the request (a question on price, product range, connected offers, etc). This first step is now automatically done thanks to AI. AI improves the quality of service, the user experience, the execution of projects, and of course, significantly reduces costs. Our employees also have more time to focus on activities related to customer relations that are less tedious and more valuable.

Virginia AI Sales Assistant is a connected toolset that boosts sales efficiency with valuable data-driven insights and actionable alerts. This AI assistant offers custom insights such as product recommendations, visits, and opportunity reminders, or product end-of-life alerts. Our sales teams can access customer and product information and report visits quickly, and save up to 3 hours weekly.

Jo, our employee virtual assistant revolutionizes support ticket management. With 1.5 million IT and HR tickets created each year, Jo provides accurate information, and streamlines tasks through natural interaction with embedded intelligence, reducing support costs and boosting productivity. In just 5 months, Jo has handled over 5000 queries, continuously improving to deliver an exceptional employee experience.

Our “self-healing” supply chain platform uses adaptive machine learning, big data, and IoT to optimize performance-related parameters in real-time, suggests ways to improve financial and operational performance, and predicts business outcomes. Key benefits:

6-day reduction in day-in inventory, resulting in a 10% overall inventory decrease;
Average 15% yield improvement on specific manufacturing lines;
Over €100 million generated in value and productivity improved by €30 million;
Delivery time reduced by 6 days.
