Webtel.mobi’s Two Fully-Operational Zero-Cost Alternatives to the Global FX Market Available Worldwide

WM’s Currency Swaps and TUV Digital Currency Swaps provide fully-operational and instantly-accessible Zero-Cost Alternatives to the Global FX Market

Global FX Market USD to EUR Conversion and Immediate Reconversion

ST PETER PORT, Guernsey and NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Telephony Provider Webtel.mobi (“WM”) – whose System and TUV Digital Currency render current Cryptocurrencies redundant, supersede CBDCs and provide two fully-operational alternatives to the SWIFT System – has announced two additional facilities in its System, which provide an instantly-accessible and zero-cost alternative to the Global FX Market.

These two WM Facilities – its Currency Swap and TUV Digital Currency Swap Facilities – provide WM Members with the ability to set their own currency exchange rates PP2P directly between each other, and carry out instant Currency Swaps between each other directly on the WM System’s Platform. The savings in these transactions render the rates available in the current Global FX Market so unattractive as to potentially become redundant.

As an example, in a standard Global FX Market conversion, if one converted USD 10 000 000.00 to Euro, one would receive +/- Euro 8 104 700.00 (Note: An indicative rate. The Euros received will alter slightly depending on who the exchange is done through, but it will be a similar result, within a few thousand Euros).

If one were then to do an immediate reconversion of the Euro 8 104 700.00 back to USD, one would expect to get more or less USD 10 000 000.00 back – less some conversion costs. However, what one will in reality get back with an immediate reconversion is only +/- USD 9 023 540.00. Nearly a million dollars would have simply disappeared. This exercise reveals the true costs of FX Conversions via the Global FX Market.

These costs are due to three primary factors. Firstly, the legacy systems used in the Global FX Market are outdated, and not able to function according to 21st Century standards. Secondly, the Global FX Market is highly fragmented, with thousands of entities of varying standards levying multiple charges. Thirdly, the Global FX Market requires an extremely high number of intermediaries to function – all of which load their additional fees and commission on to every transaction. Additional cost-raising factors can be found by Googling “Forex Scandal”.

In contrast, WM’s Currency Swap and TUV Currency Swap Facilities enable WM Members to see what the Global FX Market’s Currency Exchange Rates are, and then set their own PP2P rates accordingly. For example:

  • Member A wants to exchange USD to get Euro 8.1 Million. He does a query with a Global FX Market Provider and sees that it will cost him USD 10 Million to get Euro 8.1 Million.
  • Member A then does a query with a Global FX Provider to see how much in USD the amount of Euro 8.1 Million will buy, and sees that it will only buy +/- USD 9 Million.
  • Member A then sets his WM Currency Swap Offer Swap to be just over USD 9 Million for Euro 8.1 Million; and therefore gets the same amount of Euros for almost USD 1 Million less than in the Global FX Market.
  • If Member A sets his WM Currency Swap at, for example, USD 9.5 Million to make it attractive, it will still cost him/her almost USD 500 000.00 less compared to Global FX Market Rates. Moreover, Member B who is Swapping the Euro for USD will similarly get almost USD 500 000.00 more than in the Global FX Market.
  • The same potential for savings to the same scale apply for any Swap amount in any WM Platform Currency.

World Economic Form awards Schneider Electric Lexington, Kentucky Sustainability Lighthouse recognition and Wuxi, China Smart Factory Advanced Lighthouse status

Smart Factory

Schneider Electric’s Smart Factory in Wuxi, China

  • Wuxi plant is the fourth Schneider Electric Smart Factory to receive Advanced Lighthouse recognition
  • Lexington, Kentucky recognized as a Lighthouse in 2020, now one of the first factories awarded Sustainability recognition
  • Digital transformation deploys IIoT technology for greater efficiency and sustainability
  • Smart plant leverages Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies including 5G, cobots, artificial intelligence, and big data analysis

Rueil-Malmaison (France), September 27th, 2021 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced its Lexington, Kentucky plant, recognized as an Advanced Lighthouse last year, has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Sustainability Lighthouse — one of only three worldwide. The World Economic Forum has also recognized the company’s Smart Factory in Wuxi, China as an Advanced Lighthouse — the fourth Schneider Electric factory to receive this distinction to date, joining Lexington, Kentucky, Batam, Indonesia and Le Vaudreuil, France factories.

The Forum’s Sustainability Lighthouses recognize by realizing the potential of 4IR technologies in manufacturing, companies can unlock new levels of sustainability in their operations and explore a win-win solution: greater operational competitiveness while simultaneously making commitments to environmental stewardship, leading in a cleaner, more sustainable future as a result.

In order to capture greater energy consumption granularity, when and where it happens in the plant, the Lexington, Kentucky smart factory leveraged IoT connectivity with power meters and predictive analytics to optimize energy cost, and as a result led to 26% energy reduction (GWh), 30% net CO2 reduction, and 20% water use reduction and certification by the U.S. Department of Energy as Platinum Superior Energy Performance 50001.

The Smart Factory in Wuxi joins the Lexington plant as the second Schneider Electric’s site to earn the status of end-to-end Advanced Manufacturing Lighthouse. Both plants were recognized for adopting Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies to transform factories, value chains and business models.

As an electronic manufacturing site developing a large product mix, the Wuxi campus embraced Schneider Electric’s 4IR-based EcoStruxure technology to rebuild its end-to-end value chain. Using the latest digital tools like automated supply chain management, 5G supported flexible production, augmented reality, and digital twins to improve flexibility, efficiency, time to market, and sustainability.

“This World Economic Forum recognition for Lexington and Wuxi plants demonstrates what can be achieved by leveraging technologies of the fourth industrial revolution,” says Mourad Tamoud, Schneider Electric’s executive vice president of global supply chain. “The benefits for sustainability, agility, and resilience are compelling. We continuously look to enhance our digital supply chain to deliver on our commitment to our customers and society as a trusted partner for digitalization and sustainability.”

The Wuxi plant’s digital transformation enables the site to meet expanding customer needs for customization while delivering clear production and energy efficiencies:

  • Implementing an autonomous supply chain system as a single source of truth to trigger a 30% improvement in on-time delivery.
  • Taking advantage of 5G and cobot automation for flexible production lowered time to market 25% and improved line investment by 50%.
  • Digital twins to optimize heating and ventilation drive 32% energy consumption improvements.

For Tamoud, the company’s strength is its employees: “It’s our people who are leveraging this technology, and we are investing in their skills and expertise to enhance their capabilities. This is a testament to our people strategy and investment in our workforce and advanced technologies.”

In collaboration with McKinsey & Company, the World Economic Forum began the Global Lighthouse Network initiative in 2018 to recognize manufacturers leading growth of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Wuxi plant joins a list of 90 sites in the Global Lighthouse Network who create innovation in business models and increased customer value through 4IR technologies. These companies demonstrate how digital operations create productivity and efficiency gains to enable sustainable growth in the face of pervasive disruptions and challenges.

STRIVE Program

The Wuxi and Lexington factories are part of Schneider Electric’s global smart factory and distribution center initiative encompassing nearly 300 factories and logistics centers in more than 40 countries. This initiative – part of the company’s STRIVE program – aims to address the fundamental challenge of sustainability while increasing profitability and efficiency.

STRIVE (Sustainable, Trusted, Resilient, Intelligent, Velocity and Efficiency) is the next evolution of Schneider Electric’s supply chain transformation to be the most agile, innovative, planet and customer-centric supply chain.

  • Sustainable – Schneider Electric is implementing projects to build carbon-neutral and circular supply chains whilst preserving local biodiversity.
  • Trusted & Resilient – Schneider Electric strengthens its resilience through multi-sourcing and ensures there is no single point of failure in its production lines.
