The Forum is part of the successful series of worldwide conferences in Europe, America and Asia, has been held in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain on May 5-7, 2025. The event offered exclusive presentations and workshops on strategies and case studies in line with this year’s topic “One Step Beyond: How to Achieve Next-Level Production” to its 150 international participants from over 20 countries.

At ARC Forum 2025, Schneider Electric spotlighted its leadership in open software-defined automation (OSDA), a transformative approach that decouples control strategies from hardware while embracing open standards. Dominico Monopoly, from Schneider’s Offer Enablement team, explained how OSDA enables flexible, vendor-agnostic automation solutions through initiatives like UniversalAutomation.org.

Key challenges in adopting this technology include the industry-wide skills gap, integration of legacy systems, and cybersecurity concerns. Schneider Electric addresses these with robust training programs, support services, and a comprehensive cybersecurity portfolio that includes certified products and tailored services.

To drive operational and capital efficiencies, Schneider highlighted its EcoStruxure Power and Process platform. This solution integrates energy and process management, supporting the shift to electrification and greener energy use—critical for sustainable industrial operations.

Monopoly noted a significant increase in collaboration and engagement at this year’s forum, with more customers actively adopting innovative automation solutions. The event underscored the growing momentum behind open, interoperable technologies in industrial automation.

Schneider Electric’s OSDA strategy is paving the way for more agile, secure, and sustainable industrial systems—empowering businesses to innovate faster and operate smarter.
