Our smart city solutions integrate seamlessly and run cohesively, resulting in reductions in energy and water consumption through our EcoStruxure platform that bridges the IT/OT (information Technology / Operational Technology) gap to seamlessly connect, collect, analyse and act on data in real time which consequently helps in taking the right decision in record times.”

And we at Schneider Electric are very proud of our long-term partnerships in the Kingdom through which we succeeded in reinforcing our leading position in this industry on the global level, while building on quality and continuous development and supporting Saudi youth development. This fully entitles us to provide the safety, efficiency, reliability and sustainability expected in the Saudi market for building the cities of the future."
