A Unified Platform for Sustainability Transformation
The newly introduced Resource Advisor+ represents a substantial advancement in sustainability technology, replacing fragmented tools and siloed data systems with a unified, intelligent ecosystem. This platform integrates multiple specialized products into a single command center, enabling companies to:
- Consolidate energy and sustainability data from across their operations

According to company executives, this platform marks a fundamental shift in how organizations can approach their decarbonization and energy optimization strategies.
Sera: The AI Agent Powering Intelligent Recommendations
At the core of Resource Advisor+ lies Sera, an advanced AI agent that serves as a proactive digital partner for users. This intelligent system distinguishes itself through several key capabilities:
- Contextual Precision: Sera's recommendations are grounded in two decades of Schneider Electric consulting expertise, ensuring technically sound and operationally viable insights
- Frugal AI Design: The platform employs energy-efficient models and carbon-aware computations, aligning with Schneider Electric's sustainability commitments
- Collaborative Intelligence: Human expertise is embedded directly into workflows, creating a symbiotic relationship between AI capabilities and human experience
Sera functions by interpreting user needs and coordinating specialized agents working behind the scenes, transforming complex sustainability data into clear, actionable recommendations.
Executive Vision and Platform Rollout
"Today marks an exciting milestone as we bring our AI-first vision to life," stated Steve Wilhite, Executive Vice President for SE Advisory Services' global Energy & Sustainability Practice. "Resource Advisor+ introduces a completely new way for companies to manage their energy and sustainability performance, powered by SE Advisory Intelligence and a network of agentic AI capabilities."
The platform's initial release includes two new products focused on carbon performance and supply chain sustainability. Additional products for climate risk assessment, reporting compliance, and energy management are scheduled for release later this year. Schneider Electric will continue to support its existing EcoStruxure Resource Advisor platform for current clients while introducing this enhanced solution to the market.
This announcement comes at a critical time when organizations worldwide are seeking more sophisticated tools to manage their environmental impact and meet increasingly stringent sustainability regulations. Resource Advisor+ represents Schneider Electric's response to this growing demand, offering a comprehensive solution that combines artificial intelligence with decades of industry expertise.
