New
Delhi, India, May 22, 2026 : Schneider Electric, the global energy
technology leader, today announced that its Services India business has been
honoured with the prestigious Golden Peacock Award for its innovative
solution, EcoStruxure™ XR Operator Advisor (XROA). The recognition
assumes greater significance as the category witnessed participation from over
500 applications, making this the first-ever Golden Peacock Award win for
Schneider Electric’s Services India business.
EcoStruxure™
XR Operator Advisor is Schneider Electric’s advanced Extended Reality
(XR)-enabled workforce empowerment solution designed to transform electrical
operations and maintenance. Leveraging Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality
(VR), and Mixed Reality (MR), the solution overlays real-time contextual
information, operational procedures, and collaboration tools onto electrical
assets and digital twins, enabling operators to work with greater speed,
precision, and safety.
The
solution addresses critical industry challenges, including fragmented field
information, complex maintenance procedures, knowledge erosion caused by
retiring experts, and operational inefficiencies arising from disconnected
systems. By enabling intuitive human-machine interactions and real-time remote
collaboration, XROA helps organizations improve operational efficiency,
strengthen safety practices, and enhance operational decision-making.
It
supports a wide range of use cases across AR, VR, and Mixed Reality
environments, including live visualization of operational data and asset
documentation, guided digital workflows, remote monitoring and reporting,
immersive simulation-based training, expert remote assistance, and digital
twin-enabled visualization of electrical installations.
According
to Schneider Electric’s internal analysis, organizations leveraging XR-enabled
operations and maintenance solutions have reported up to 46% reduction in task
completion time.
By
enabling instant access to operational information and remote support
capabilities, XROA helps organizations reduce downtime, improve productivity,
lower training costs, reduce dependency on on-site experts, extend equipment
life through standardized maintenance practices, and strengthen safety outcomes
with improved situational awareness.
Beyond
operational transformation, XROA is also contributing to workforce development
and sustainability initiatives. The solution plays a pivotal role in the
GreenSkills+ Project, a collaborative initiative between GIZ and Schneider
Electric focused on strengthening India’s green energy workforce through
industry-relevant skilling programs.
The
initiative aims to train 10,000 trainees across India through simulation-based
vocational learning programs powered by XROA. More than 90 ITIs across four
Indian states are engaged through partnerships with NGO and corporate partners,
while 163 trainers have already been trained through a dedicated Training of
Trainers (ToT) program focused on blended learning, simulations, inclusion, and
peer-learning methodologies.
Ms.
Damini Chaudhari, Vice President – Services, Greater India Zone, Schneider
Electric, said: “EcoStruxure™ XR Operator Advisor reflects
our focus on leveraging next-generation digital technologies to transform
service delivery and industrial operations. By combining immersive XR
capabilities with real-time operational intelligence, the solution is helping
organizations improve efficiency, strengthen safety, and enhance workforce
readiness. This recognition is a testament to our continued commitment towards
driving innovation-led outcomes for customers while enabling smarter and more
sustainable operations.”
XROA
also contributes to broader sustainability goals by enabling remote operations
that reduce travel requirements, minimizing dependency on printed manuals and
documentation, improving energy efficiency through preventive maintenance, and
extending equipment life through enhanced asset management practices.This
recognition reinforces Schneider Electric’s commitment to building a safer,
smarter, and more sustainable future through next-generation digital
technologies.
