As part of its strategy, Carrefour Egypt is committed to sustainable business practices. Jean-Luc Graziato, the country head for Carrefour Egypt at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, implemented a project to reduce power consumption and ensure uptime in about half of all Carrefour stores. The key goals included measuring energy consumption across stores to identify high- and low-performing stores, using insights from energy dashboards and performance reports to continually optimize power usage, ensuring protection against downtime threats, such as equipment malfunctions or power outages, via timely notifications, and maximizing uptime for power, lighting, ovens, refrigerators, and other business-critical assets.

Solution	To achieve the goals, Schneider Electric proposed a digital solution that could monitor individual devices and offer expert guidance on power use optimization. The solution chosen was EcoStruxure Facility Advisor from Schneider Electric. Schneider experts collaborated alongside Graziato’s team to adapt Facility Advisor solutions to the specific configurations of 19 stores. The installation and configuration were completed in 16 weeks. The Schneider engineering team analyzes data from Facility Advisor dashboards to provide two annual performance reports to Carrefour. These reports serve as action plans for optimizing energy use. They also allow Graziato to compare one store’s power consumption against another, thus empowering him to create performance benchmarks. Graziato’s team uses the Facility Advisor suite of services to centrally manage each store’s assets and power consumption from a single computer or tablet. Read More Log in to view content
