Schneider Electric possesses exceptional capabilities in energy management and automation. Leveraging its EcoStruxure™ mining platform, mines can centrally analyze energy consumption, process control, and equipment data, enabling system-level optimization.
In a large iron ore project in Australia, Schneider Electric provided intelligent medium-voltage switchgear, a SCADA system, and a remote control center, achieving unified monitoring from the mine pit to the concentrator. With EcoStruxure, the mine's overall energy consumption was reduced by more than 10%, and equipment reliability was significantly improved. Furthermore, Schneider Electric's variable frequency drives (VSDs) and intelligent power distribution systems are widely used in crushing, grinding, pumping, and conveying operations, improving stability while reducing energy waste.
