A worldwide expert in energy management and automation, Schneider Electric, took part as Silver sponsor in the 8th International Quality in Construction Summit held on 26 October, Thursday. Schneider Electric shared its global experience in Industry 4.0 at the summit organized by Türkiye IMSAD, the umbrella organization of the construction materials sector in Turkey. Investment in the Future: At the Summit under the theme of Digital Transmission, the speech of Yves Dumas, Business Development Director for Middle East and Africa Industry Business Unit of Schneider Electric, drew great interest.
Dumas stressed that Schneider Electric blazes a trail for the Industry 4.0 movement in Turkey with the technology and solutions it offers to its customers. “By 2050, energy consumption will increase by 50% in line with the megatrends such as fast urbanization, industrialization and digitalization,” he said. “As population rapidly grows, urbanization booms as well accordingly. As a result, the construction sector’s need for more efficient and innovative materials, solutions and technologies increases while constructing new buildings. Therefore, industrialization and digitalization need to speed up as well. Creating innovative and sustainable solutions for the management of these trends that influence one another directly is one our missions. We take the lead in this subject with our numerous solutions, EcoStruxure in particular, and encourage our customers in their journey of digitalization and Industry 4.0.”
