In this presentation we will discuss how a sustainable future must become radically more efficient with the way we use energy. We will share how the Internet of Things (IoT) and the convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) are enabling Schneider Electric's innovation at every level, redefining power and automation for a new world of energy which is more electric, decarbonized, decentralized and digitized. We will share how, in this new world of energy, Schneider ensures that Life Is On everywhere, for everyone and at every moment. Additionally, we will share a set of IoT predictions for the future, based on findings of the company’s recent IoT Survey of 2,500 top business executives.
