Results
of Green Quadrant Analysis
Using its
proprietary Green Quadrant methodology, Verdantix assessed Schneider Electric's
IoT offerings that are used in approximately
250,000 buildings across more than 10,000 customers. Based on the Green
Quadrant analysis, Verdantix identified four key strengths in Schneider
Electric Advisor offerings, including the following:
Comprehensive energy management,
spanning power consumption, and generation assets: EcoStruxure Resource
Advisor was recognized for its ability to
empower
portfolio managers to monitor energy across portfolios of any size and create
energy forecast models. The EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor optimizes the
performance of microgrids using machine learning, providing better insight into
power consumption to make impactful changes to both occupant comfort along with
overall sustainability.
Sustainability and carbon
reporting:
EcoStruxure Resource Advisor also was well scored for its strong sustainability
solutions, including providing emissions data and carbon reporting through
sustainability dashboards. Users closely track their sustainability performance
against their target goals, such as Scope 3 GHG emissions or Science Based
Targets initiative (SBTi) goals. Even as requirements of sustainability change
and advance, CarbonMaps is a future-proof solution to providing carbon data
management reports.
Predictive
maintenance for assets:EcoStruxure
Building Advisor's comprehensive asset monitoring and predictive maintenance
analyzes energy consumption, HVAC performance, continuous fault detection, and
diagnostics to drive energy savings. This technology leverages digital twin
models of 22 types of building assets and anonymously compares over 200,000 pieces of equipment to ensure lower usage and ensure the
longevity of building equipment and technology.
Retail portfolio management:
EcoStruxure Integrated Retail Management provides portfolio managers with both
global and granular views of metrics, like footfall, conditions, and energy
consumption, to remotely manage and track their retail sites. The insight
provided allows retailers to make more impactful choices around technology and
equipment choices. According to Verdantix analysis, the software is "one of the
very few IoT offerings in this study dedicated to retail – to manage locations
centrally. The solution allows portfolio managers to gain a global perspective
of all their stores, as well as track and manage these at a more granular level.
(...) The solution has already been deployed by a leading fast food restaurant
chain and a household goods retailer."
