Schneider Electric and Deloitte collaborate to drive AI-enabled digital transformation across industrial operations
HANNOVER, Germany, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, and Deloitte, a leading professional services organization, today announced a collaboration to help customers and clients — from manufacturers and industrial operators to data center and infrastructure leaders — modernize end-to-end processes across all of their business operations and unlock new opportunities.
Today’s organizations are facing unprecedented pressure to scale enterprise-wide operations efficiently while maintaining cost control, yet many continue to rely on outdated practices that limit their ability to adapt, innovate, and compete in fast-moving markets. This is especially acute in asset-intensive industries, where the convergence of AI, IT/OT conversion integration, and digital platforms is reshaping what’s possible. Facing these challenges and capitalizing on opportunities requires more than technology alone: enterprises need clear strategies, proven methodologies, and trusted ecosystems to drive lasting operational excellence.
To help organizations achieve enterprise-wide transformation to compete in the digital era, Schneider Electric and Deloitte are teaming up to bring together Deloitte’s IndustryAdvantage™ experience, Ascend™ services delivery platform, strategy, people, process and technology transformation and Schneider Electric’s domain expertise and purpose-built, AI-enabled OT and software technology.
Together, the two organizations will help clients:
- Modernize industrial operations with tested IT/OT integration and end-to-end digital transformation
- Break free from siloed, legacy systems and better leverage open, software-defined automation platforms
- Integrate AI and advanced analytics to accelerate time to value and increase business impact
- Build adaptive, future-ready operations that drive efficiency and resilience
- Drive change throughout the organization to encourage adoption and modernization
“Organizations know they need to transform, but many lack a roadmap that unites business strategy with the right digital and OT foundation,” said Gwenaelle Huet, Executive Vice President, Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric. “By combining our technology leadership with Deloitte’s experience in driving operational excellence and enterprise-wide change, we are giving customers the tools they need to move forward with speed and confidence.”
Ajai Vasudevan, Global Smart Operations Leader, Deloitte, said: “True digital transformation is about far more than deploying new tools; it demands a reinvention of how an organization competes and grows. Deloitte brings the reach and rigor to lead that change end-to-end, across every layer of the enterprise. Paired with Schneider Electric’s OT expertise and AI-enabled industrial technology, this collaboration offers clients new ways to transform and provides the operational precision needed to make it real.”
This collaboration marks a major step toward enabling organizations to innovate faster, operate more sustainably, and scale smarter — not years from now, but today.
At their respective booths at Hannover Messe 2026, Schneider Electric (Hall 13, Stand C34) and Deloitte (Hall 15, Stand E75) will demonstrate solutions advancing the next generation of manufacturing.
