Schneider Electric’s EcoCare service plans empower FM teams as electrical systems become more advanced.
Success in facilities management (FM) depends on keeping electrical distribution equipment performing at optimal levels. However, the goal posts are shifting as technology evolves – so in-house teams often need support, whether they are managing a mix of new and legacy assets, or brand-new sites with advanced systems throughout.
By using EcoCare, FM teams can access the specialist backup, insights, and confidence needed to stay ahead of downtime risks in any facility. Flexible membership levels can be tailored to strengthen in-house capabilities while ensuring assets remain safe, reliable, and futureproofed.
Customers can build up a package to suit their needs and budgets covering the full lifecycle of their facilities. These can include priority access to engineers, faster response times, training, planned upgrades, strategic guidance, 24/7 monitoring and alarming, and proactive remote guidance.
As a result, in-house teams can overcome the skills gap and extend their reach. EcoCare service plans provide access to Schneider experts to make critical skills available when and how they are needed. This could be through providing advice and guidance prompted by remote monitoring data, as well as fast-tracking an engineer’s site visit. Alternatively, it could be delivering dedicated training as electrical systems become more advanced and require more digital skills. Furthermore, it’s possible to draw on expert consultants to provide advice and guidance on planning a long-term technology roadmap for a site, allowing for potential expansion, upgrades and digitalisation.
Futureproofing is another benefit of EcoCare. Data-driven predictive maintenance improves uptime of electrical distribution systems by identifying potential issues early, enabling FM teams to optimise legacy assets, integrate new equipment seamlessly, and ultimately give leadership the insight needed to improve electrical reliability throughout the entire lifecycle of a facility.
Electrical resilience remains critical for FM teams in commercial buildings, hospitals, non-critical buildings, industrial plants, logistics hubs, public sector, and residential buildings. These all have specific, and sometimes unique, operating requirements, which is why it’s important to give them choice and flexibility when accessing expert electrical services.
