Enabling the mobile utility
A few months back, we told you about the solutions that Schneider Electric, Intel, and Microsoft have been collaborating on to optimize mobility solutions to enable field worker productivity. Now we’d like to introduce a new set of solutions specifically optimized for utilities.
In today’s connected world, now, more than ever, your workforce needs greater access to data, tools to increase productivity, and the ability to be mobile in the field. But at the same time, your business also faces growing challenges of being able to operate more efficiently in a fast-moving and complex industry. You need to have the ability to adapt to changing regulatory compliance and standards while making sure your workforce is productive and responsive. You also need to make sure that any operational vulnerabilities can be quickly identified and resolved.
To help you meet those challenges, we have partnered with Schneider Electric and Intel to deliver new mobility solutions that will bring agility to your operations and empower your employees with the ability to do more—anytime, anywhere.
These innovative and scalable mobility solutions:
- Help you achieve workforce performance goals through innovations including real-time data availability with Schneider Electric applications; increased productivity and battery life through solutions optimized with Intel Core processors and Windows 8/10; and Microsoft Azure cloud-hosted SaaS solutions that support fluctuating demand, scalability, and quick provisioning for improved performance.
- Meet the needs of your workforce with greater manageability with innovations such as real-time visibility into the plant environment and supply chains; mobile device and application integration and management on Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager; and the ability to remotely diagnose and repair device operating with Intel Core vPro processors with Active Management Technology.
- Bring enhanced security through secure, scalable reporting and support on Schneider Electric Wonderware industrial applications; enterprise security capabilities with powerful and secure Intel Core processors; and BitLocker drive encryption with Windows 8.1/10 Pro and Enterprise editions. You can also own, control, and secure your data with Schneider Electric operations apps utilizing Microsoft Azure.
Leading utilities are realizing significant benefits with the combination of these solutions. For example, the City of Pleasanton was able to improve their operations by implementing Schneider Electric and Microsoft technologies, including reducing manufacturing costs by up to 10 percent, and increasing productivity by up to 30 percent.
