Next-generation service plan combining 24/7 remote monitoring, AI-powered condition-based maintenance, and expert support
Up to 70% reduction in electrical failure risk, up to 50% reduction in intrusive on-site intervention and up to 20% OpEx savings
Now extended to 3-phase UPS equipment
BOSTON, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced the expansion of EcoCare, a next-generation service plan that combines AI-powered condition-based maintenance and 24/7 remote monitoring to now include 3-Phase UPS. It is designed to transform how organizations manage their critical assets and systems, applying energy intelligence to improve uptime, enhance safety, and streamline operational efficiency.
Operations are under increasing pressure as downtime costs range from $10,000 to $10 million per hour(1) and U.S. energy demand surges, with Schneider Electric's Research Institute projecting the country must add 1,000–2,000 TWh of electricity per decade to meet demand from AI, electrification, and industrial growth.
Meanwhile, a growing engineering skills gap—estimated to result in $8.5 trillion in unrealized global revenue by 2030—makes it more challenging to maintain safe, reliable, and compliant operations. Fragmented asset management and constrained investment further limit organizations' ability to prevent downtime, optimize maintenance, and extend asset lifespan.
In data center environments, current maintenance approaches are increasingly under strain, with power the leading cause of impactful outages—most often from UPS issues—and the majority of incidents still involving human error.
At the same time, 98% of sites face electrical safety risks, while 71% lack the spare parts needed to ensure business continuity. Further compounding the issue, 89% of organizations do not follow manufacturer-recommended maintenance practices.
"We're making invisible problems visible through digital connectivity—using data and AI to identify degradation and potential failures before they happen," said Bryan Stevens, Senior Vice President, US Services, Schneider Electric. "We're enabling organizations to transform operations in an unprecedented way - using predictive insights to reduce interventions and cost, improve risk management, and ultimately protect uptime in an increasingly complex environment."
Schneider Electric is the energy technology partner for the organizations that run critical operations, embedding energy intelligence across its services portfolio to turn real-time data into foresight, not hindsight.
