Nov.13,2023 -- Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is harnessing the capabilities of Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to empower customers and transform its internal operations.

2023年11月13日消息-- 作為能源管理和自動化數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型的領(lǐng)軍企業(yè)，施耐德電氣正在利用生成式人工智能能力為客戶賦能，并實(shí)現(xiàn)其內(nèi)部業(yè)務(wù)轉(zhuǎn)型。

Building on the foundations of a long-standing collaboration with Microsoft, Schneider Electric is integrating Microsoft Azure OpenAI to develop solutions that leverage algorithms to generate text, code, and other types of content. This has empowered Schneider Electric to reimagine its approach to various operational processes, streamlining time-consuming tasks, optimizing resource allocation, and gaining speed and efficiency. At the same time the Group continues to apply GenAI to advance innovation in its offer portfolio.

基于和微軟長久以來的合作，施耐德電氣集成了微軟Azure OpenAI, 以便研發(fā)能夠運(yùn)用算法生成文本、代碼以及其他多種內(nèi)容的解決方案。這賦予了施耐德電氣重組各種運(yùn)營流程方式的能力，簡化了耗時任務(wù)、優(yōu)化了資源配置并提高了速度和效率。同時，集團(tuán)繼續(xù)采用生成式人工智能以推動產(chǎn)品組合的創(chuàng)新。

The key highlights of Schneider Electric's use of GenAI include:

施耐德電氣對生成式人工智能使用的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)包括：

Resource Advisor Copilot – using Large Language Model technology through Microsoft Azure OpenAI, Schneider Electric has securely built Copilot as a convenient digital companion embedded inside Resource Advisor. Copilot equips customers with enhanced data analysis, visualization, decision support, and performance optimization, and the ability to seamlessly process intricate industry knowledge and Resource Advisor system information.
Jo-Chat GPT – internal conversational assistant based on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service allowing employees to profit from Generative AI capabilities in a secure way.
Finance Advisor – this conversational assistant provides an easy and effective way to find precise information for financial analysts in accounting and other functions within global finance. It helps to achieve consistent, compliant, and timely decision-making.
Knowledge Bot – conversational assistant helping customer care representatives find precise information to customer queries and proposing appropriate answer based on large internal documentation.
Conversational search – helping our customers search for the products they need in a natural conversation style using semantic search capability.

Resource Advisor Copilot——施耐德電氣借助微軟Azure OpenAI，引入了大型語言模型技術(shù)，成功打造了Copilot。這一安全解決方案能夠輕松整合Resource Advisor，使其成為得力的數(shù)字助手。Copilot為客戶提供了增強(qiáng)的數(shù)據(jù)分析、可視化、決策支持和性能優(yōu)化功能，同時能夠流暢處理復(fù)雜的行業(yè)知識和Resource Advisor系統(tǒng)信息。
Jo-Chat GPT——基于微軟Azure OpenAI的內(nèi)部對話助手能夠幫助員工以安全的方式發(fā)揮出生成式人工智能的能力。
Finance Advisor——該對話助手向全球金融領(lǐng)域的會計和其他職能部門的財務(wù)分析師提供了一種簡便而有效的查找精確信息的方式。它能夠協(xié)助人們做出一致、合規(guī)且及時的決策。
Knowledge Bot——對話助手能夠幫助客戶關(guān)懷代表找出客戶查詢的準(zhǔn)確信息，并根據(jù)大量內(nèi)部文件給出穩(wěn)妥的解答。
對話式搜索——能夠采用語義搜索能力，通過自然的對話風(fēng)格幫助我們的客戶搜索其需要的產(chǎn)品。

Schneider Electric is also looking to integrate Github Copilot to further enhance its offer creation processes and operations as well as Sales Copilot to further empower frontline employees.

施耐德電氣還正探索整合Github Copilot，用于進(jìn)一步增強(qiáng)其產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)造流程和運(yùn)營，并計劃整合Sales Copilot，從而進(jìn)一步為一線員工賦能。

Commenting on these technological and business advancements, Philippe Rambach, Chief AI Officer at Schneider Electric, stated, "Generative AI is a game-changer and we are investing in this technology. It has already allowed us to enhance internal productivity, and it aligns perfectly with our commitment to continuous improvement and impactful innovation focused on sustainability."

施耐德電氣首席人工智能官Philippe Rambach在評論這些技術(shù)和商業(yè)進(jìn)步時表示：“生成式人工智能的興起改變了行業(yè)格局，我們正在加大對這項技術(shù)的投資力度。它已經(jīng)能夠幫助我們提高內(nèi)部生產(chǎn)力，這與我們在可持續(xù)發(fā)展方面不斷改進(jìn)并勇于創(chuàng)新的承諾步調(diào)一致。”

The AI hub organization at Schneider Electric was launched in 2021, before the GenAI technology became prevalent. With the emergence of these new tools, the company created a dedicated GenAI core team to work closely with internal and external stakeholders to detect early application opportunities.

在生成式人工智能技術(shù)盛行之前，施耐德電氣就已于2021年推出了人工智能中心部門。隨著這些新工具的問世，公司專門組建了生成式人工智能核心團(tuán)隊，與內(nèi)外利益相關(guān)方緊密合作，旨在發(fā)現(xiàn)早期應(yīng)用機(jī)遇。同時，施耐德電氣還完成了一項針對生成式人工智能機(jī)會的跨職能研究，并選擇了超過200個潛在使用案例和機(jī)遇。

Schneider Electric's adoption of Generative AI and integration with Microsoft Azure OpenAI underscores their commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation in energy management and industrial automation. The companies are focused on leveraging advanced technologies to drive efficiency gains, foster innovation, and achieve sustainable growth.

通過引入生成式人工智能并與微軟Azure OpenAI 集成，施耐德電氣清晰表達(dá)了在能源管理和工業(yè)自動化領(lǐng)域引領(lǐng)潮流的決心。公司一直重視通過利用高級技術(shù)，推動效率提升，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新并實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展。

"Microsoft Azure OpenAI allows Schneider to develop agile, scalable, cost-effective and AI-powered solutions which are in line with our shared ambitions for a sustainable and digitalized future," said Dominik Wee, Corporate Vice President, Manufacturing and Mobility at Microsoft.

“微軟Azure OpenAI能夠幫助施耐德電氣開發(fā)靈活、可擴(kuò)展，經(jīng)濟(jì)高效且由人工智能賦能的解決方案，這符合我們對可持續(xù)和數(shù)字化未來的共同期望，”微軟制造和移動部門總部副總裁Dominik Wee表示。

Schneider Electric portfolio of solutions built on Microsoft Azure offers its customers next-generation cloud-based, IoT (Internet of Things) solutions as well as advanced data and AI capabilities.

施耐德電氣的解決方案系列產(chǎn)品基于微軟Azure，可為客戶提供下一代云端、物聯(lián)網(wǎng)解決方案，以及先進(jìn)的數(shù)據(jù)和人工智能能力。

Together, the two companies help customers bridge the gap between setting ambitious sustainability goals and achieving them.

通過合作，兩家公司將共同幫助客戶在設(shè)立和實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)上架起一座橋梁。
