Schneider Electric (Palatine, Ill.; www.schneider-electric.com) has acquired LimeWare, a provider of system-analysis and auditing software for Schneider Electric’s Foxboro Evo process automation and I/A Series distributed control systems (DCS). The acquisition provides Foxray software to help customers pinpoint and address critical industry challenges.
“Acquiring LimeWare and its Foxray software is an integral part of our strategy to help our customers improve their operational integrity and operational insight, while future-proofing their operations,” said Gary Freburger, president of Schneider Electric’s process automation business. “With additional
investment in our flagship process automation offerings, we have even more power to address critical challenges around safety, reliability and efficiency.
The ability to more easily tackle pain points, while driving value across the entire process automation chain, is one of the big ideas we are discussing with our customers in Dallas this week, and it remains a major differentiator for our process automation business.”
LimeWare was founded in 2006, and is headquartered in Porto Alegre, Brazil. LimeWare and its offerings will be fully integrated into Schneider Electric‟s process automation business, and will continue to be managed by its existing executive team.
