At SPS 2026 in Nuremberg (November 24–26), Schneider Electric will demonstrate how industrial companies can raise their performance by bringing energy, automation and intelligence together in day-to-day operations.
Whether they build smart machines as OEMs or run complex process plants, manufacturers share the same pressures: become more efficient, adapt quickly to change and make decisions faster. Schneider Electric’s answer is to link data, automation and energy technologies so that they deliver measurable value on the plant floor and across production.
According to Jessica Bethune, Vice President Industrial & Process Automation DACH at Schneider Electric, the next era of industrial performance will depend on how well companies drive the convergence of energy, automation and intelligence across all their operations. At SPS 2026, she explains, the company will show how to move from machine control to intelligent process performance with greater efficiency and flexibility.
