December 9, 2013 – Schneider Electric has added to the StruxureWare software suite with the launch of StruxureWare Power Monitoring Expert for integrated energy and electrical distribution power management.

Highlights of the new software include cost allocation and bill estimation features that enable customers to analyze the direct financial impact of energy usage at a departmental or cost centre level, through the implementation of user defined energy consumption hierarchies. The productivity kit—with documentation, productivity tools, libraries and end-to-end How To guides—helps project execution teams deliver custom solutions in a consistent, efficient and repeatable way, says Schneider. Additionally, support is available for an offline configuration mode, and improved maintenance tools claim to help teams be more productive ahead of the commissioning phase and mitigate risk.
