Schneider Electric Korea Unveils AI-Based Integrated Automation Solutions at 'AW 2026'

Complete Connectivity from Hardware to Software
Presenting a Global Standard Open Platform Strategy

On March 4, Schneider Electric Korea drew attention at the "2026 Smart Factory & Automation World (AW 2026)" by unveiling its technology portfolio for advanced industrial automation based on artificial intelligence (AI).

Celebrating its 190th anniversary this year, Schneider Electric presented its global standard open platform strategy, which integrates the complexities of the industrial field into a single system and enables data-driven predictive and optimized operations. To illustrate this, the booth was designed in a storytelling format tailored to the industrial journey, featuring an organically connected structure of software, AI, energy management, and automation technologies.

The exhibition prominently showcased AVEVA, which enables real-time integration and analysis of distributed industrial data using AI, as well as the digital twin solution for power systems, ETAP. In addition, Schneider Electric Korea revealed its portfolio of power and automation hardware, including high-performance motion control solution Lexium Servo.

During the exhibition, three themed technology demo tours will be held. In the "AI-based Data Visualization and Digital Twin" session, the company demonstrated a high-precision power digital twin environment based on real-time data by integrating ETAP with the real-time power and energy data management solution PME.

In the "Industrial Automation Integrated Solution and BESS Solution" session, nine demos—including the open, software-defined automation platform EAE—were presented to showcase integrated automation solutions that enable flexible process control environments. Additionally, Schneider Electric Korea introduced strategies to optimize energy storage and supply using battery energy storage systems (BESS), ensuring both power stability and efficiency even in high-power environments.

Finally, in the "Smart Energy and Predictive Maintenance for Motors" session, predictive maintenance technologies that minimize downtime by enabling real-time monitoring of equipment status were introduced. This was achieved through IoT-based smart panels, wireless sensors, and a cloud web dashboard.

Schneider Electric Korea is especially focused on enabling customers to maintain their existing equipment while gradually advancing digital transformation through "EcoStruxure," its open architecture platform that is compatible and combinable with products from other brands. Furthermore, the company is strengthening its role as an energy technology partner by proposing a comprehensive sustainability strategy that encompasses autonomous manufacturing, carbon emission management, and energy efficiency optimization.

Jiwoong Kwon, CEO of Schneider Electric Korea, stated, "Schneider Electric is connecting energy management, automation, and AI technologies into a single flow to help Korean manufacturing companies naturally transition into the era of autonomous manufacturing," adding, "This year’s AW 2026 concretely showcases Schneider Electric’s strategy for creating real business value through advanced integrated automation solutions."
