Schneider Electric has unveiled a new 10,500 square feet Innovation Center in Houston's energy corridor, marking a significant milestone in its digital transformation strategy. The facility is part of Schneider's €2 billion incremental capacity investment planned for 2024-2027 to support growing digitalization, automation, and manufacturing demand.

The state-of-the-art center features an interactive Control Room for real-world plant simulations across various scenarios, including refineries and power plants. It will serve as a Training Center for process control engineers and manufacturing personnel, complementing existing innovation hubs in Paris, Singapore, and Bangalore.

The facility will integrate R&D from all Schneider business units and incorporate AI applications to showcase industrial automation's future. With over 21,000 U.S. employees and partnerships with 40% of Fortune 500 companies, Schneider Electric maintains a strong presence in Texas, employing 4,100 people across facilities in El Paso and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Schneider Electric has inaugurated new data center and microgrid research laboratories at its Global R&D Center in Andover, Massachusetts, as part of a €2.26 billion ($2.4 billion) global R&D investment in 2024. The facility now houses 40 labs, including a 6,000-square-foot Power Distribution Unit (PDU) laboratory and a 1,500-square-foot microgrid laboratory.

The PDU lab features three testing bays for high-powered voltage systems designed for AI data centers, while the microgrid lab includes four 90kW grid simulators and three 45kW solar simulators, capable of simulating power demands for 300 homes. In 2024, the company's energy-management business achieved double-digit growth, with their US microgrids managing over 100 gigawatts of energy, sufficient to power 75 million homes.

Schneider Electric has announced a new Smart Power Manager feature for its Square D QO Smart Panel Solution, addressing growing home electrification demands without requiring costly electrical service upgrades. Debuting at the 2025 NAHB International Builders Show, this software-based solution helps homebuilders avoid upgrading from 200 amp to 400 amp service—a change that can cost up to $17,000 per home.

As consumers shift to electric appliances and vehicles, home power demands are increasing by 15-20%. The Smart Power Manager intelligently manages larger loads by automatically shedding controllable loads to keep energy usage under capacity limits. This system is:

• Smart: Identifies overages and reduces them while maintaining safety
• Cost-effective: Avoids expensive service upgrades
• Modular: Works in both main and sub-panels
• Convenient: Allows homeowners to prioritize loads via the Schneider Home app

Available this summer, this solution expands the QO Smart Panel Solution which offers circuit-level control and system-wide energy monitoring.

Schneider Electric has announced a new patent leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance process safety and reduce industrial hazards. The innovation automatically analyzes potential process hazards and validates protection mechanisms in industrial processes. The technology, developed by the EcoStruxure™ Triconex Safety team, enables automatic hazard prevention through protective mechanisms.

The patent represents a significant advancement in functional safety, allowing for the simulation of hazards under various conditions and the generation of protective responses. Three additional patents incorporating AI into functional safety lifecycle are pending. The system aims to enhance HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) studies by generating more comprehensive scenario combinations than previously possible through manual analysis.

Schneider Electric has launched the SpaceLogic™ Touchscreen Room Controller, an advanced energy management device that combines thermostat simplicity with building management system capabilities. The controller features AI-driven HVAC optimization at the edge, eliminating the need for cloud connectivity while maintaining ASHRAE 55-compliant comfort standards.
