A long-standing American factory transformed into a world-recognized smart manufacturer.
When Schneider Electric’s Lexington facility became one of the first to earn recognition from the World Economic Forum as a Sustainability Lighthouse in 2020, it also became a blueprint for the future of sustainable digital manufacturing.
At the heart of its transformation was the CONNECT industrial intelligence platform from AVEVA, working in tandem with Schneider’s EcoStruxure architecture. Together, they’ve driven significant gains in efficiency and on-time delivery by optimizing industrial processes. But perhaps the most meaningful change is on the factory floor itself.
By delivering real-time data and AI-driven insights, the technology is freeing up workers to focus on higher-value tasks, while automated systems handle critical operations such as the facility’s overhead conveying line. It’s not just a smarter way to manufacture—it’s a more human-centric one.
In the video above, Fabrice Meunier, vice president of industrial end users and software business at Schneider Electric, shares how the company worked with AVEVA to reshape industrial operations—making them more efficient, connected, and better for the future.
