Schneider Electric, an energy management and automation company, continues to expand its role in the Philippines, with 3,500 employees supporting operations across Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America.
“We believe in the capabilities of Filipino professionals. Our teams in analytics, inside sales, finance services, and quality assurance play key roles in supporting our global operations,” said Carlos Leviste, director of Strategy Commercial Operations and Marketing at Schneider Electric, on the sidelines of the company’s Innovation Day and 30th anniversary celebration held recently.
The company runs a manufacturing site in the Philippines that produces uninterrupted power supply systems and serves as a hub for shared services and global supply chain operations.
Data centers focus on energy savings
As part of its innovations in the data center space, Schneider Electric is using predictive analytics to make infrastructure more energy efficient and cost-effective.
“Our systems are designed to reduce energy use and improve overall performance,” Leviste said. “This includes everything from cooling to the uninterrupted power supply and the entire power train in data centers.”
Digital transformation strategy
Schneider Electric is driving digital transformation in three areas: buildings, power grids, and data centers. It promotes what it calls “Electricity 4.0,” a model that combines energy, digital, and sustainability to help businesses become more efficient.
“By digitizing infrastructure, companies can better manage costs and reduce their environmental impact,” Leviste said.
Power distribution and EV plans
The company’s role in both high and low voltage power solutions spans the full energy value chain, from power generation to consumption. This includes equipment such as high-voltage switch gears, transformers, and low-voltage distribution systems.
“We are present across the entire energy chain to make power safer, more reliable, and more efficient,” Leviste said.
Schneider Electric also shared plans to support electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the country. “We are looking into EV charging solutions and partnerships to help boost the local EV industry,” Leviste said.
