SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
WHAT ARE THE TOP TRENDS WITH ELECTRICITY 4.0 ?
There are four defined needs for future data centres – Sustainable , Efficient , Adaptive and Resilient . They will need to be achieved through cost optimisation and reducing the risk of downtime .
How do you see the industry evolving in 2021 ? Sustainability will remain top of the agenda , and it will become increasingly important for companies to assess and target the value chain , and Scope 3 emissions . Tech trends include ‘ digital first ’ and ‘ remote first ’ models , which will offer more valueadd experiences ; we also need to look at integrated and sustainable supply chains , which will allow customers to have scalable digital experiences .
How important is technology in driving sustainable practices ? It ’ s extremely important , for private and public sectors . We have developed a lot of software and technology never stops . I believe that sustainability is a priority because it ’ s key to the next generation – and that ’ s why it ’ s core to Schneider ’ s DNA .
