Schneider Electric Launches AI-Powered EcoStruxure Foresight Operation

Schneider Electric has introduced its innovative EcoStruxureTM Foresight Operation, an AI-driven platform that integrates energy, power, and building systems into a unified framework. This announcement was made on November 18, 2025, during the Innovation Summit North America held in Las Vegas, which gathered over 2,500 industry leaders to explore advancements in sustainable energy solutions.

The EcoStruxure Foresight Operation platform marks a significant shift in how businesses manage their infrastructure. By merging previously fragmented systems into one scalable platform, Schneider Electric aims to enhance operational efficiency, maximize uptime, and reduce costs. The platform empowers organizations to operate more intelligently, providing them with predictive insights and real-time data analysis.

Transforming Operations with AI

According to Manish Kumar, Executive Vice President of Digital Energy at Schneider Electric, the platform acts like an “intelligent operational assistant that never sleeps.” It is designed to streamline engineering workflows, potentially reducing project timelines by up to 40% and improving operational efficiency by as much as 50%.

EcoStruxure Foresight Operation employs advanced AI technologies to facilitate continuous learning, enabling the system to adapt and predict challenges before they occur. This proactive approach is crucial for improving decision-making across the built environment, addressing critical issues such as energy waste, which can account for up to 40% of a building’s energy consumption.

The platform offers several key benefits:
– **Next-level operational efficiency:** By unifying control systems, organizations can eliminate operational blind spots, boosting efficiency significantly.
– **Maximized uptime:** Built-in redundancy and AI diagnostics allow for rapid resolution of interrelated electrical and mechanical issues, with resolution times reduced by 90%.
– **Future-ready scalability:** EcoStruxure can support millions of connected devices with its open architecture, making it suitable for multisite and global operations.
– **Faster deployment:** The platform’s pre-integrated domains allow for immediate implementation, significantly cutting down setup times and engineering hours.

Addressing Industry Challenges

Facility teams are under increasing pressure to meet strict project deadlines and regulatory requirements while managing complex systems. Many still rely on siloed operations for HVAC, lighting, and power distribution, which can lead to costly inefficiencies. For instance, a voltage imbalance may go unnoticed until it results in equipment damage, or solar energy may be wasted while grid power is used inefficiently.

In mission-critical sectors such as data centers, hospitals, and pharmaceutical facilities, even brief downtimes can lead to severe consequences. The need for a comprehensive, intelligent control system is clear, especially as experienced personnel become more difficult to recruit.

Kumar emphasized that “EcoStruxure Foresight Operation unifies energy, power, and building domains for supervisory and control,” allowing systems to operate cohesively. This integration turns complexity into simplicity, enabling organizations to leverage every watt, every second, and every space effectively.

Schneider Electric developed the EcoStruxure Foresight Operation platform in close collaboration with various industry stakeholders. The company plans to offer early access to interested customers for beta testing in the coming months, with broader availability expected in Q3 2026.

As a leader in energy technology, Schneider Electric is dedicated to enhancing efficiency and sustainability across industries. With a workforce of 160,000 employees and a network of 1 million partners in over 100 countries, the company continues to be recognized among the world’s most sustainable enterprises.
