What is EcoStruxure?
EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric’s open, IoT-enabled architecture and platform designed to support energy management, automation, and Smart Building operations.
It combines connected devices, control systems, software, and analytics to help organisations improve efficiency, resilience, sustainability, and operational performance.
EcoStruxure architecture
EcoStruxure is structured across three core layers:
- Connected Products – sensors, controllers, meters, and field devices
- Edge Control – BMS, PLCs, and automation systems
- Apps, Analytics & Services – cloud software, dashboards, and optimisation tools
How EcoStruxure is used in Smart Buildings
In Smart Buildings, EcoStruxure enables:
- Centralised monitoring and control of building systems
- Energy consumption analysis and optimisation
- Integration of HVAC, lighting, power, and security systems
- Remote access, alarms, and performance reporting
- Data-driven decision making and sustainability reporting
EcoStruxure and BMS
EcoStruxure is commonly deployed alongside or as part of Building Management Systems (BMS) , acting as a higher-level platform that aggregates data and enables analytics, reporting, and optimisation across multiple sites.
