"The Automation and Control Innovation Center is the first of three Schneider Electric Innovation Centers that will open throughout the country," said Andy Gravitt, vice president, industrial automation and control, Schneider Electric North American Operating Division.

Using state-of-the-art technology, Schneider Electric product and services experts will customize the entire Innovation Center to showcase specific solutions appropriate to a customer's needs and challenges in eight industries: HVAC, pump, semiconductor, transportation wash, packaging, conveyance, automotive, and crane and hoist. Customers who visit the Innovation Center will experience individually tailored, live demonstrations to show how Schneider Electric's technology, knowledge and products can solve their specific problems.

The Automation and Control Innovation Center will be located in the same facility as the engineers and experts who work on customer projects.
