Question
Schneider Electric Unveils Software-Defined Medium Voltage Switchgear with Equinix
Direct answer
At the YOTTA 2026 conference, Schneider Electric introduced a fully software-defined medium voltage switchgear architecture aimed at AI data center facilities. The solution was validated in a live operational environment with colocation provider Equinix.
The system aims to accelerate manufacturing and procurement cycles by up to 3x while cutting on-site commissioning duration in half. Power delivery and electrical distribution infrastructure have emerged as major physical bottlenecks for enterprise data center expansions.
