Schneider Electric, a global company in energy technology, has announced a collaboration with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), a major electronics manufacturer. The partnership aims to support the development and scaling of AI data centre capabilities.
With the rapid growth of AI adoption, requirements for digital infrastructure are evolving. Foxconn contributes expertise in advanced compute platforms, AI rack integration, and large-scale manufacturing, while Schneider Electric provides capabilities in power systems, cooling, and energy management. Together, they intend to deliver integrated solutions focused on speed, efficiency, and predictability for AI infrastructure operations globally. Production is expected to begin later this year.
The collaboration responds to increasing demand for new approaches to designing, building, and delivering infrastructure as AI systems develop. Through this work, Foxconn and Schneider Electric aim to provide options for customers to expand AI capacity in a scalable and efficient way.
A key aspect of the partnership is the joint development of next-generation reference architectures for AI data centres. This includes exploration of areas such as closed-loop energy optimisation, modular power and cooling methods, and standardised design frameworks.
Overall, the collaboration combines manufacturing and energy management expertise to support the development of AI infrastructure designed to be scalable and efficient, aligned with the growing requirements of AI systems.
