Innovation Experience 2023

Reaching more Sustainability and Energy efficiency through Digitization: this is Eliwell and Schneider Electric recipe to drive the change for HVAC & Pumping machines of the future.

We discussed about the challenges shaking up our industry on September 27th and 28th, 2023: our experts and a selection of external speakers shared their experience and competence with HVAC & Pumping manufacturers, providing our state-of-the-art technology to help HVAC & Pumping machines reach their efficiency and sustainability targets.

The event started with a plenary session dedicated to the challenges the market is facing: the urgency of coping with the energy crisis, combined with the need to set up a long-term strategy to fight climate change On this path we are ready to support the market with our 'recipe' for the Machines of the Future: more sustainable and smarter thanks to a combination of efficient and connected technology with low environmental impact.

The presence of international speakers (Alex Pachai - Technology Consultant for Heat Pump and Energy efficiency, Manfred Burke Head of Development Transport at Bitzer, Marco Gamba - Innovation Program Manager at Schneider Electric) was really inspiring around key issues such as F-Gas regulation, the state of the art in sustainable technologies, new business models related to digitization.

The agenda included in-depth sessions on Eliwell and Schneider branded solutions, with sessions specifically dedicated to Chillers/Heat Pumps, AHUs and Pumping applications, focusing on our complete offer: from the control part to the electrical panel components - sensors, inverters, drivers and programming software. Special focus has been given on the Modicon M173O - Free Optima platform: the new range of controllers being launched in these very months, with an extra gear on several levels - more efficient, more sustainable, more powerful and connectable.

Beside the technological competencies, our added value consists also of valid consultants in the Expert Center and ADE/SAE/PAE teams, who are available to propose applications, templates and libraries that facilitate the work of manufacturers.

Participants were also able to experience the Eliwell and Schneider Electric reality first hand during a visit to our plant: the tour inside the plant included a guided walk through the Research and Development department, the Expert Centre and Technical Support offices, and the production plant recently renovated thanks to investments in automation and digitalization; the tour ended with the visit at the Innovation Hub where all participants had the possibility to experience our technologies applied to real HVAC machines.

Highlights of the event and speaker’s speeches are available in the video, presentations and photogallery.
