The company said customers can modernize systems incrementally while maintaining existing operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gwenaelle Huet, executive vice president of industrial automation at Schneider Electric, pointed out that manufacturers are increasingly preparing for AI-driven operations, including generative AI, autonomous software agents and AI-powered robotics. She said reaching that stage will require more flexible automation systems built on open software architectures and hybrid cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of of all, Huet pointed out, it eliminates the large, upfront expense to companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor too long, industrial enterprises have been forced to choose between operational continuity and technological modernization,\u201d Huet nnoted in the announcement. \u201cTogether Schneider Electric and HPE are removing that trade-off entirely \u2014 giving customers a single, governed foundation to modernize at their own pace. But this is about more than technology. Moving from CapEx to OpEx for industrial automation is a fundamental mindset shift for the industry \u2014 one that changes how automation is funded, consumed, and continuously improved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The offering includes three primary components:<\/p>\n<p>Infrastructure provided through HPE compute, storage and data protection technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Software-defined automation built on EcoStruxure Automation Expert.<\/p>\n<p>Consulting, migration, cybersecurity and lifecycle management services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schneider Electric said the platform is based on open automation standards, allowing customers to deploy automation software across compatible hardware platforms rather than relying on a single vendor\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company and HPE are demonstrating the combined system this week at Automate 2026 in Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Insider Brief Schneider Electric has introduced a service designed to help manufacturers modernize aging automation systems without replacing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13020],"tags":[1666,13144,27483,13057,18694],"class_list":["post-39996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-schneider-electric","tag-ai","tag-automation","tag-hpe","tag-schneider-electric","tag-service"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
