From Simple Sensor Monitoring to Hyperscale Data Centers

Sensors Solutions

From the simple to the complex. Deployed in data centers, remote sites, cold chain and warehouses.

Data Center Monitoring

Data center digital twin sensor solutions that prevent disaster while assisting in reducing energy usage.

Reduce Energy Costs

Save energy costs by focusing cooling capacity. sensorCFD provides visualization of where your air is going and where it needs to be.

Release Stranded Capacity

Maximize performance and release stranded capacity. Ensure that your air is cooling servers doing work and not being wasted cooling unnecesary space.

Monitor Thermal Risk

Protect IT equipment and monitor for hotspots in your racks. Meet ASHRAE recommendations for data center operating temperatures.

CO2 Reduction

Efficient use of cooling capacity results in improved carbon emissions. AKCP aids your corporate philosophy of achieving Net Zero emissions.

Realtime Insights

AKCPro Server DCIM provides realtime insights to data center performance metrics such as PUE. 2D and 3D heatmaps, ∆T and ∆P, humidity, security power and assets.

Return on Investment

Reduced energy costs, lower carbon footprint, increased capacity, mitigate hot spots. All of the above result in return on investment. Lower OpEx = higher margins.

WHAT IS MY PUE?

Data Center PUE is a metric used to determine how efficiently your power is being utilized. A ratio of cooling power to IT power consumption. It is an important metric for those looking to save money, reduce carbon footprint, or increase server loads without increasing cooling capacity. The use of containment in your data center design has massive impact on your PUE. Even a small computer room with a single rack can benefit from preventing hot and cold air mixing. This results in huge potential savings on energy costs. Try our PUE calcualtor to find out how much you can save.

In an era where artificial intelligence and cloud computing power our daily lives, the infrastructure supporting it has come under increasing scrutiny. This article considers the water usage of these digital behemoths. We'll examine how much water they consume, the growing backlash over their environmental and community impacts, comparisons to other water-intensive industries, and the innovative steps the sector is taking to quench its thirst more sustainably.
Progress continues on our 1MW Physical Twin Test Data Center. The latest milestone is the installation of the chilled water distribution piping system, which will deliver cooling water to the heat exchangers throughout the facility. This stage is a critical part of our design, enabling efficient cooling for hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment and allowing us to replicate real-world thermal loads. By pairing the Physical Twin with our sensorCFD digital twin technology, we will demonstrate how integrated monitoring and advanced modeling can optimize energy efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in modern data centers.
In the ever-evolving world of data centers, efficient cooling is paramount to ensuring reliability, reducing energy costs, and extending equipment lifespan. As server densities increase and power consumption rises, traditional cooling methods often fall short, leading to hotspots, inefficiencies, and higher operational expenses. Aisle containment strategies, specifically hot aisle containment (HAC) and cold aisle containment (CAC), have become essential for separating hot and cold airflows, preventing mixing, and optimizing airflow management.

Overcool or Overheat? There’s a Better Way.

In today’s data centers, the battle between overcooling and overheating isn’t just a technical challenge — it’s a major operational cost driver.

Legacy facilities often default to excessive cooling, prioritizing uptime at the expense of energy efficiency. But without advanced airflow containment, real-time monitoring, and actionable insights into temperature and pressure, even the best intentions lead to wasted energy and higher costs.

Consider this: for every 0.5°C (1°F) rise in server inlet temperature, data centers can slash energy costs by 4–5%. Yet pushing temperatures higher safely requires razor-sharp visibility into the thermal environment — not guesswork.

The reality? The average data center operates at a PUE of 1.5, while many legacy sites lag behind at 1.7 to 2.5. These facilities are leaving 10–20% in potential energy savings on the table every year.

This is where AKCP makes the difference.
