Delivering world-class medical technology to Nemours Children’s Hospital through an EcoXpert

Nemours Children’s Hospital, a healthcare facility located in Orlando, Florida, provides care for children with all kinds of sicknesses. Families from over 70 different countries travel to the Nemours facility seeking outstanding pediatric care for their children. The hospital not only boasts top care but it also runs on world-class medical technology.

Electricity in a hospital is essential, the hospital and patients depend on reliable electricity. Pure, continuous power provides staff, patients and parents a constant peace-of-mind that is necessary to maintain a successful recuperation environment. Therefore, it is critical that the power is reliable for equipment and medical technology to function 24/7.

To meet this need, Nemours selected a team of four partners that developed a 3-tiered power system: critical power for operating theaters and essential medical devices; equipment power for AC, heat, and less critical medical equipment; and convenience power for lighting and amenities in non-critical locations. This was all made possible using Schneider Electric’s integrated system built on the IoT-enabled EcoStruxure™ for Healthcare architecture and platform. The EcoStruxure medical technology enables critical operational efficiency for this world-renowned healthcare facility. In addition, EcoStruxure Power ensures the hospital’s power control and power monitor abilities allowing Nemours to identify and prevent any potential problems.

The power of partnership

The hospital partnered with three technology partners; TLC, a national company with expertise in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, life safety, fire protection, and energy services, Borrell Electric, a 70-year-old electrical service and contracting company with a proud 100% safety record. The third technology partner, Graybar is a Fortune 500 company and premier supplier of Schneider Electric products specialized in advanced supply chain management services for contractors. The fourth company Nemours partnered with, MC2 is a Schneider Electric Master EcoXpert™ partner certified in building management systems and critical power solutions. Through collaboration, innovation, and expertise, these four firms combined resources to make the Nemours vision for reliable power a reality, meet all the hospital’s expectations and create their power system.

Watch how these four partners came together to deliver a world-class solution to Nemours.

EFF: No Digital Surveillance of Iranians at the U.S. Border—or Within the U.S.

No Digital Surveillance of Iranians at the U.S. Border—or Within the U.S. Only days into heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, media outlets have published disturbing reports of increased scrutiny of people of Iranian descent at U.S. borders, including in at least one case involving a traveler’s phone. EFF strongly opposes any targeting of people for digital surveillance based on their race, religion, or nationality, at our border and in our interior. And we remind all members of the public to practice surveillance self-defense. Disturbing Reports from the Border On January 5, media outlets reported that more than 60 people of Iranian descent, including U.S. citizens, were held at the border between Canada and Washington state for many hours and questioned about their perceived connections to Iran. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) denied that it detained or refused entry to Iranians based on their national origin, a claim contested by accounts f

EFF: Corporate Speech Police Are Not the Answer to Online Hate

Corporate Speech Police Are Not the Answer to Online Hate A coalition of civil rights and public interest groups issued recommendations today on policies they believe Internet intermediaries should adopt to try to address hate online. While there’s much of value in these recommendations, EFF does not and cannot support the full document. Because we deeply respect these organizations, the work they do, and the work we often do together; and because we think the discussion over how to support online expression—including ensuring that some voices aren’t drowned out by harassment or threats—is an important one, we want to explain our position. We agree that online speech is not always pretty—sometimes it’s extremely ugly and causes real world harm. The effects of this kind of speech are often disproportionately felt by communities for whom the Internet has also provided invaluable tools to organize, educate, and connect. Systemic discrimination does not disappear and can even be ampl

Living on the (IT) Edge: Schneider Electric at HPE Discover 2018

We’re here at HPE Discover 2018 , proudly sponsoring the event and enjoying a jam-packed few days in Las Vegas. The data center industry has experienced tremendous disruption in the last decade. The fourth Industrial Revolution, with its IT/OT convergence, the proliferation of IoT, and insatiable demand for digital connectivity, is creating the opportunity to push the envelope of performance beyond the obvious and create new business value. And there’s no bigger opportunity right now than at the edge. At the same time, these new paradigms are also driving more complexity: companies today are trying to manage a combination of environments, from large centralized data centers on-premises or in the cloud, regional edge data centers, to local edge data centers. We have more data centers, intertwined across more locations, and with more data, than ever before. All of this adds up to promising opportunities on the horizon for our customers – but an equally daunting number of new challenges
