Schneider Electric has announced the latest results of its partnership with Circle Health Group, an independent provider of private hospital services in the UK.

With 53 hospitals and over 6,500 specialist consultants and doctors, Circle Health Group has made huge operational efficiency gains across its complex healthcare estate. Thanks to its ongoing relationship with Schneider Electric, the Group has saved over £200,000 since 2018 and has solved 81% of maintenance tickets remotely.

Partnering with Schneider Electric in 2017, Circle Health Group started by rolling out energy management and building control solutions across its estate. Boosting operational efficiency whilst dealing with restricted budgets and workforce shortages was a major challenge for the estates team. The Group decided to level up its partnership with Schneider Electric by transitioning to a Connected Services Hub and introducing EcoStruxure Building Operation.

Circle Health Group now has access to a centralised overview of estate data and an advanced analytics platform with 24/7 remote maintenance support. Using more than 500 AI-powered algorithms, the supplier-agnostic tool monitors alarms across critical equipment and systems to flag issues. Schneider Electric has now connected over 75% of the hospitals and is working on connecting another 15% by the end of Q1 2025.
