Combining power and automation to bring AI into factories and data centers
Expansion — While data center demand grows the power business, the company is adding physical AI to industrial automation
- Revenue in the third quarter of 2026 was EUR 11.5 billion, up 17% on an organic basis, a quarterly record.
- In the company description of its October 2026 press release, the company states that it has 160,000 employees and 1 million partners (in more than 100 countries) worldwide.
Decisions within a year
- Industrial physical AI partnership: On October 22, 2026, in Berlin, it announced a physical AI partnership for the process industries with NVIDIA and HPE and launched 'Industrial AI Agents at the Edge', which run directly on site. Multiple AI agents are deployed and managed in a single EcoStruxure Industrial Insight environment.
- Targeting autonomous manufacturing in Korea: On March 4, 2026, at Smart Factory + Automation World (AW 2026), Schneider Electric Korea unveiled an AI-based automation portfolio combining its open software-defined automation platform (EAE), Lexium servo motion control, AVEVA data analytics and ETAP power digital twins.
- New HVAC and data center cooling products: On October 21, 2026, at the Korea International Heating, Ventilating, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Exhibition (HARFKO 2026) at KINTEX in Ilsan, it unveiled the dedicated drive 'Altivar HVAC ATH' (ATH200 for small applications, ATH600 for large buildings and data centers), designed to cut the energy consumption of HVAC equipment by more than 30%.
People they will look for
- Industrial automation solution architect — proposing autonomous manufacturing transitions to Korean manufacturers by combining EAE, servo and AVEVA requires design staff who know PLC, motion and software together
- Industrial AI and data consultant — bringing edge AI agents and data analytics software to Korean process industry customers requires people who can connect field data with AI
- Data center and building power and HVAC technical sales — with data center demand driving growth and new HVAC and cooling products released, the company needs technical sales staff to cover Korean data center and EPC customers
For hiring managers
Engineers who know both PLC and motion control and industrial software are sought by the Korean subsidiaries of global automation companies, Korean smart factory companies and large companies' manufacturing innovation organizations alike. With domestic autonomous manufacturing demand overlapping with data center investment, now is the time to fill solution design and technical sales roles first.
For job seekers
Factory automation system integration experience (PLC, servo, MES) or experience with data center power and cooling equipment is what this company values most right now.
