帕拉汀9月26日消息——施耐德電氣北美運營部今天宣布其位于北卡羅萊納州羅利市的自動化和控制創新中心將在2007年10月26日盛大開幕。該新的動手實踐演示中心將展示施耐德電氣面向OEM和終端客戶的全自動化和控制解決方案。

"The Automation and Control Innovation Center is the first of three Schneider Electric Innovation Centers that will open throughout the country," said Andy Gravitt, vice president, industrial automation and control, Schneider Electric North American Operating Division. "The center in Raleigh is unique in that it will be the only one focused entirely on automation and control solutions. It will showcase the innovation, knowledge and industry-leading technology that defines Schneider Electric."

施耐德電氣北美運營部工業自動化和控制副總裁Andy Gravitt表示：“自動化與控制創新中心是要在全國開設的三個施耐德電氣創新中心的第一個。這個羅利中心是獨一無二的，因為這將是唯一一個完全集中于自動化和控制解決方案的中心。它將展示施耐德電氣創造的創新、知識和業界領先的技術。”

Using state-of-the-art technology, Schneider Electric product and services experts will customize the entire Innovation Center to showcase specific solutions appropriate to a customer's needs and challenges in eight industries: HVAC, pump, semiconductor, transportation wash, packaging, conveyance, automotive, and crane and hoist. Customers who visit the Innovation Center will experience individually tailored, live demonstrations to show how Schneider Electric's technology, knowledge and products can solve their specific problems.

通過運用頂級的技術，施耐德電氣的產品和服務專家將定制整個創新中心，展示具體適合于八個行業客戶的需求和挑戰的解決方案：HVAC、水泵、半導體、運輸清洗、包裝、運送、汽車以及起重機。訪問該創新中心的客戶將感受個性化定制的現場演示說明，展示施耐德電氣的技術、知識和產品如何解決他們的具體問題。

The Automation and Control Innovation Center will be located in the same facility as the engineers and experts who work on customer projects. Having the Innovation Center and an engineering lab in the same building will provide a collaborative environment for Schneider Electric experts to work with customers. The process of project management, from inception to implementation, will be all under one roof.

自動化與控制創新中心將設在與致力于客戶項目的工程師和專家同一地方。在同一大樓里擁有創新中心和一個工程實驗室將為施耐德電氣專家和客戶提供一個協作環境。項目管理的流程，從構思到執行，都將在一個屋檐下。

"This new center will be the ideal environment for Schneider Electric’s experts to share their knowledge with customers," Gravitt said. "Our people not only understand the specific products and applications for using automation and controls technology, but use their breadth of experience to deliver total solutions for the challenges that customers face."

Gravitt表示：“這一新的中心將是施耐德電氣的專家與客戶分享他們知識的一個理想環境。我們的人員不僅了解使用自動化和控制技術的具體產品和應用，而且可以利用其豐富的經驗為客戶所面臨的挑戰提供全面的解決方案。”

To celebrate the launch of the Automation and Control Innovation Center, Gravitt; Dave Petratis, president and CEO, Schneider Electric North American Operating Division; Chris Curtis, president, Schneider Electric USA; and other executives; and special guests will be on hand for a companywide grand opening. The event will include a "Flip the Switch" ceremony, luncheon, and tour of the Innovation Center and Raleigh facility.
