At Automate 2026, the company said that it will demonstrate how open software-defined automation (SDA), digital intelligence and electrification are converging amid a resurgence in domestic manufacturing, heightened pressures to modernize industrial processes and aging infrastructure, and an unprecedented boom in data centers.

At its booth, Schneider Electric said that it will bring the expertise and automated intelligence that learns customers’ operations and works beside them to make change achievable, helping visitors build a practical path toward autonomous operations that adapt in real time, improve safety and increase productivity.

Throughout 2026, drawing on its 190 years of innovation, Schneider Electric said that it has positioned itself as the energy technology partner for industry, doing what no other company does: bringing automation, digital intelligence and electrification together in one coherent system. Combined, the company said that these technologies are designed not just to run operations, but to evolve them continuously across the full operational lifecycle.

“The pace of change in industry is outpacing the systems designed to run it,” said Andre Marino, SVP, industrial automation, North America, Schneider Electric. “By integrating open software-defined automation, digital intelligence and electrification into a unified architecture, we're providing what companies need to continuously adapt and evolve amid unprecedented growth in energy demand, AI and advanced manufacturing.”
