Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves scalable IoT device management with Microsoft Azure Service Fabric

Schneider Electric powers energy solutions on Azure Service Fabric

Schneider Electric needed a more cost-effective and flexible way to manage the common services behind its IoT-connected field devices, including device registration, telemetry, control, and security across millions of devices. Working with Microsoft Corporation and Azure Service Fabric, Schneider Electric built its EcoStruxure.io Connect and Manage platform to support multiple protocols, multi-tenancy, intermittent connectivity, and pluggable device logic.

Microsoft Corporation’s Azure Service Fabric enabled Schneider Electric to implement a scalable microservices architecture with reliable actors, stateful services, and simplified deployment operations. The solution improved resilience and reduced development and delivery effort, helping Schneider Electric support projects ranging from thousands to millions of devices with low-latency, high-reliability connectivity.
