Operational Resilience through Power and Process Integration
Show Notes

Even before COVID 19, process manufacturers were facing challenges, such as market and commodity uncertainty, rapid fluctuations in demand, supply chain disruptions, and becoming more efficient and sustainable. During COVID 19, those challenges were all greatly magnified, leading process manufacturers to strongly focus on Operational Resilience. So how do process manufacturers look for ways to reduce capital requirements, lower risk, improve operational performance, optimize production throughout the entire asset lifecycle, and increase their Operational Resilience? In this podcast, ARC Vice President Craig Resnick interviews Elias Panasuik, Global Program Director, EcoStruxure Power & Process, Schneider Electric, to discuss how the integration of Power and Process Automation can improve sustainability across the entire lifecycle of a process manufacturing plant, as well as how this integrated, digitalized approach results in greater interoperability and flexibility, drives CAPEX and OPEX reductions, increases production efficiencies, decreases unscheduled downtime, improves profitability, and most importantly, provides greater Operational Resilience for process manufacturers.
