Schneider Electric, a global provider of solutions for the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and Capgemini, a global supplier of business and technology transformation services, announced a new collaboration in energy optimization. Designed to help organizations accelerate their journey towards smarter and greener facility management and energy efficiency, the Energy Command Center leverages an end-to-end combination of digital solutions and cutting-edge technologies, to help to both simplify energy management and optimize its consumption.

One Integrated Platform to Monitor, Predict, Control, and Optimize All Energy Assets

Achieve Energy Optimization

The Energy Command Center solution, developed by Capgemini and powered by Schneider Electric, is an integrated and centralized platform to monitor, control and optimize building assets consuming energy, including data centers and critical environment rooms. The platform combines advanced artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning logics and algorithms, and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to measure and predict various metrics, such as energy intensity, health of critical assets, critical operations, renewable energy generation, and the overall performance across energy assets.

Schneider Electric’s connected products, edge control, and advisory applications help organizations to more efficiently manage their energy supply across multiple assets, such as factories, offices, or other infrastructure, while also helping to reduce energy consumption across their operations in one integrated platform. Capgemini brings its expertise in data integration and processing, AI and machine learning, and the integration of products and software in a central decision-making platform.

Using real-time energy consumption and carbon emission data combined with modular and interoperable building management software and systems, the Energy Command Center helps to lower energy consumption and spend to help achieve organizational goals while further accelerating towards a net-zero future.

A prototype of the solution has been tested since 2022 across Capgemini’s operations in India, which account for about a quarter of the Capgemini Group’s energy footprint, helping to enable real-time monitoring and efficient control of energy supply across multiple assets, while also helping to reduce and optimize energy consumption across operations in one integrated, centralized platform. With a 29 percent reduction in energy consumption in 2023 (versus 2019) tracked across Capgemini’s eight main campuses located in India, the platform is making a material contribution to the Capgemini Group’s objectives to decarbonize its operations.
