Schneider Electric and Cisco – Partnership of Network Infrastructure designers of choice
Many Schneider Electric customers already use Cisco technology. In fact, some IT departments require the implementation of Cisco technology as a standard across the enterprise, including the industrial network.
Companies who rely on Cisco for industrial network connectivity can achieve network resiliency using Cisco technologies including:
- Rapid ring recovery
- Link redundancy
- Link aggregation
- Rapid failover
The superior value delivered to common industrial customers by this partnership can be demonstrated in a recent customer case.
A major metallurgical coal miner located in the Bowen Basin in Queensland, Australia was commissioned in 2014. They were constructed to be one of the most productive, sustainable and highly performing metallurgical coal mines in the world. They selected Schneider Electric to supply an advanced technology solution for a new operation that produces metallurgical coal for the steel industry.
The company’s operation relies on a substantial foundation of technologies from Cisco and Schneider Electric with control of the fixed plant entrusted to Schneider Electric systems, while the process control network depends on proven technologies from Cisco.
