Schneider Electric Receives the 10,000,000th Anybus Module Award: Connecting for a Sustainable Future

2026-05-11

In the context of the deep integration of global industrial digitalization and sustainable development, Schneider Electric, a global leader in sustainable energy solutions, was awarded the 10,000,000th Anybus module by HMS Networks, a pioneer in industrial network connectivity. This milestone not only highlights the fruitful results of their 20-year collaboration but also underscores the core value of industrial connection technology in enhancing energy efficiency and supporting carbon reduction, providing an important reference for the global industrial transition towards clean and efficient operations.

I. What It Is: Interpretation of Core Entities and Key Achievements

This award is closely related to Schneider Electric and HMS Networks, with the Anybus module as the key carrier. The achievement lies in the mutual empowerment of industrial connection and sustainable development. Schneider Electric, with sustainable development as its core mission, helps customers reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency through technological innovation, and publicly discloses its carbon reduction contributions every quarter. HMS Networks is a leading enterprise in industrial network connection interfaces, and its Anybus brand enables seamless communication between industrial equipment and various networks without the need for additional development and maintenance by manufacturers.

This award is a high recognition of Schneider Electric's integration of Anybus interfaces into its variable speed drives. The award ceremony was held at Schneider's headquarters in Paris, with representatives from both sides in attendance. Its popular Altivar variable speed drives are equipped with the Anybus communication interfaces developed through their collaboration, enabling efficient connection to industrial control networks.

II. Why: Core Motivations for Cooperation and Innovation

The global acceleration of industrial digital transformation has made connectivity a "necessity" for efficient industrial operation and sustainable development, rather than a "luxury". In the industrial sector, motor energy consumption accounts for 50% of the total energy consumption in some industries. How to achieve efficient motor operation and reduce waste is a key to corporate carbon reduction. At the same time, the complexity of equipment and the diversity of protocols have led to interconnection challenges, which have restricted the improvement of industrial efficiency and the progress of digitalization, urgently requiring professional solutions.

For Schneider, the integration of Anybus modules can optimize the performance and energy efficiency of variable speed drives, aligning with its sustainable development strategy. For HMS, Schneider's global influence can promote the popularization and upgrading of Anybus technology. Their cooperation achieves complementary advantages and mutual benefits.

III. How: Pathways for Technology Integration and Collaboration Implementation

The core of their collaboration is "technology integration + long-term synergy", with a clear and replicable implementation path. First, they established a 20-year strategic partnership, with HMS customizing network connection solutions for Schneider's variable speed drives to ensure perfect interface compatibility. Second, they deeply integrated the Anybus interface into the Altivar series drives, supporting multiple industrial network protocols and enabling seamless connection to control networks without additional customer modifications.

In addition, Schneider continuously promotes the intelligent iteration of drives, doubling the processing capacity of each generation of products, and uses intelligent technology to monitor and adjust the motor operation status to ensure optimal performance. Both parties also provide full-process support to customers, from selection, integration to operation and maintenance, to ensure the implementation of the solution.

IV. What It Brings: Core Benefits and Long-Term Value

This collaboration achieves a win-win situation for all parties and empowers industrial sustainable development. For Schneider, the integration of Anybus enhances the competitiveness of Altivar drives, consolidating its industry leadership position. 42% of the avoided emissions in its carbon emissions report can be attributed to the efficient use of variable speed drives and motors.

For customers, drives equipped with Anybus interfaces can efficiently monitor and control motors, reducing energy consumption by up to 20%, improving operational performance, reducing costs, and supporting carbon reduction. For the industry, the cooperation between the two sides has set a benchmark for "industrial connection + sustainable development", providing a practical path for global industrial digitalization and energy conservation and carbon reduction that can be learned from.

V. Future Outlook: Continuous Synergy, Building an Interconnected and Sustainable Future Together

Under the digital wave, the importance of industrial connection will be further highlighted. Schneider and HMS will deepen their 20-year cooperation, continuously promote technological innovation and product upgrades, optimize network connection solutions, and help more enterprises achieve efficient operations and carbon reduction. As Jean-Louis Gillou, Vice President of Schneider's Drive Division, said, "Digitalization is happening around us. Connectivity is not just a good thing; it is a basic requirement. Let's continue to work together to shape an interconnected and sustainable future."

In summary, this award is a high recognition of the cooperation results between the two sides and a vivid demonstration of how industrial connection technology empowers sustainable development. Through the "technology integration + long-term synergy" model, both sides not only achieve their own development but also provide strong support for global industrial energy conservation and carbon reduction as well as digital transformation. In the future, they will continue to work together, using the power of connection to build a greener and more efficient industrial future.
