Schneider Electric has officially opened its Innovation Lab: Digital Buildings facility in Montreal, QC which will be used for R&D, innovation and testing for digital building applications.
The 4,500-sq. ft. facility includes an electro-mechanical lab for actuator performance, motor, environmental and system testing; a wet lab for valve performance testing and valve/actuator wet accelerated life testing; a fast prototype lab with 3D printing for assembly fit testing and creating prototypes on demand; and a 3D laser scanner to offer reverse engineering and drawing compliance. The lab will also create 40 new job positions.
