Capgemini and Schneider Electric collaborate on Energy Command Center solution

Capgemini and Scheider Electric are collaborating on the Energy Command Center solution to help organisation with smarter and greener facility management and energy efficiency.

The IT company and energy tech company jointly developed the Energy Command Center, which they describe as an integrated and centralised platform to monitor, control and optimise all building assets consuming energy, including data centres or critical environment rooms.

The platform combines advanced AI, machine learning logics and algorithms, as well as Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to measure and predict various metrics like energy intensity, health of critical assets, critical operations, renewable energy generation and the overall performance across all energy assets.

Commenting in a release, Capgemini CEO Aiman Ezzat said, “At Capgemini we are deeply convinced that there is an incredible untapped potential for digital technologies and data to accelerate the energy transition. We share this vision and commitment with Schneider Electric.

“We are at a pivotal moment for the energy transition and are thrilled to join forces and combine our deep technology and data expertise with Schneider Electric’s reputed solutions, to empower organisations to manage and accelerate their energy decarbonization pathway.”

Capgemini: what is needed for a successful energy transition?

Schneider Electric’s products, edge control and advisory applications help organisations manage their energy supply across multiple assets, such as factories, offices or other infrastructure, while reducing energy consumption across their operations.

Capgemini brings its expertise in data integration and processing, AI and machine learning, and the integration of all products and software in a decision-making platform.

Using real-time energy consumption and carbon emission data combined with modular and interoperable building management software and systems, the Energy Command Center helps to lower energy consumption and spend.

Added Peter Herweck, CEO at Schneider Electric, “Tackling the energy and climate crises is paramount, and energy efficiency plays a key role in mitigating these challenges.

“Decarbonisation through electrification and digitisation is a necessity for a sustainable future. We are very excited to collaborate with Capgemini, as it allows us to further advance our efforts to drive energy efficiency and sustainable practices. Together we can make a meaningful impact.”

A prototype of the solution has been tested since 2022 across Capgemini’s operations in India, which account for approximately a quarter of the Capgemini Group’s energy footprint.

According to the company, the platform resulted in a 29% reduction in energy consumption in 2023 (compared to 2019) tracked across Capgemini’s eight main campuses located in India.
