Schneider and Krohne collaborate on automation and instrumentation solution
Schneider Electric has announced a partnership with Krohne that the companies say will provide customers with a complete automation and instrumentation solution, which will include Schneider’s PlantStruxure process automation architecture and Krohne’s instrumentation offer.
The companies said that Schneider’s open system architecture and Krohne’s customised instrumentation offer allows for easy integration of the solution, enabling customers to achieve increased energy efficiency, productivity and process optimisation.
“The integration of Krohne’s best-in-class instrumentation offer with Schneider Electric’s PlantStruxure offer will deliver some great synergies and superior customer benefits and is very much in line with what we hear in terms of what our customers need to cope with the evolving challenges in process and energy management,” said David Orgaz, Vice President, Process Automation Systems of Schneider Electric.
“The customers of Schneider Electric will benefit from our highly skilled sales and service staff. We look forward to contributing our engineering and application knowledge to projects in different industry segments such as oil and gas, water and wastewater, food and beverage as well as metals, minerals and mining,” said Stephan Neuburger, coCEO of the Krohne group.
Schneider Electric claims its PlantStruxure process automation architecture helps customers achieve energy and productivity improvement objectives by creating a single environment to measure energy use, process data, asset utilisation and machine performance.
To achieve this, Krohne claims it delivers matching and integrated measurement solutions for flow, level, pressure and temperature measurements as well as analytical tasks, providing the necessary information to monitor and optimise plant processes that involve liquid, gaseous or solid mediums.
