Integration of operational hardware and smart devices provides efficiency gains, increases safety and sustainability. And also change jobs.

Today’s workers need a broad skill set that includes the ability to understand communication systems, software and data analysis. So while Electricity 4.0 is digitizing the workplace and enabling performance improvements, it’s also complicating things, especially for veteran workers.

The result is a labor shortage that affects daily operations and throws a wrench in the wheels when it comes to crucial repairs.

According to Bill Bentz, Schneider Electric’s vice president of service execution in the United States, the labor shortage challenge can be turned into a golden opportunity by implementing a member-based service plan.

Learn how the Schneider Electric EcoCare service plan improves operations with:

• Continuous monitoring of equipment to identify anomalies in real time
• Predictive maintenance based on performance data
• Remote monitoring to resolve operational issues
• Allocating resources that ensure maintenance and repairs are performed by workers with appropriate skills
• AI and algorithm-based analytics that deliver a solution and apply it to a facility or multiple sites.
