AKCP Thermal Map Sensor
Pioneers in Temperature , Environmental and Power Sensor Solutions
Traditional Data Centers are over cooled , focussing on uptime . They have limited or poorly designed containment , little understanding of the air flows , air temperatures and air pressures at key points in the heating and cooling cycle .
Data centers can save 4-5 % in energy costs for every 0.5 ° C ( 1 ° F ) increase in server inlet temperatures . There is a trade off that comes with this . There is less margin for error .
AKCP established in the USA in 1981 created the market for temperature , environmental and power monitoring in the data center . Today with over 150 employees and 200,000 installations , AKCP is the world ’ s oldest and largest manufacturer of networked wired and wireless sensor solutions .
Deploying the AKCP monitoring solution creates a Digital Twin of your data center . A virtual copy of the physical data center used to simulate scenarios , predict performance and improve efficiency and reliability .
AKCP designs , manufactures and tests everything in house with our SMT production line , clean room and packaging equipment . Every unit gets a 2 day burn in before shipping .
Setting the standards for technical achievement and innovation including sensorCFD™ , Wireless Tunnel™ and Digital Twins . Our outstanding level of support to all customers large and small , defines AKCP ’ s success .
