Maintenance budgets can be cut by up to 40%, and electrical failure risk can be reduced by up to 75% on connected equipment.

Schneider Electric, a global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced the launch of EcoStruxure Service Plans in India. With this launch, the company hopes to provide enriched packages combined with powerful digital services that are tailored to pinpoint and address specific customer needs. This new service offering will allow Schneider Electric to reduce electrical failure risk on connected equipment by up to 75% and optimise customer maintenance budgets by up to 40%.

Today, 60% of organizations are preparing for the future by beginning their digital transformations, part of which means digitizing electrical infrastructure. The goal of this digitization is to strengthen everyday uptime and minimize risk. For example, 56% of electrical fires are due to a lack of maintenance. Workforce challenges are also frequently encountered, especially with respect to remote expertise, skills gaps, and aging workforces.  The new EcoStruxure Service Plans by Schneider Electric aims to alleviate these challenges by providing, in a single contract, a tailored mix of on-site services, digital services, and consulting.
