DATA CENTRES
“ The data centre industry is developing so quickly . We ’ re happy to be part of it , but it also puts the pressure on us to keep making things better ”

differently . Plus , they can see the loads so it could be a critical point in a load that triggered it . ML , together with AR , will definitely help in these ways .”
Turk explains that ABB is leading the industry in this field , deploying AR and ML technologies across its operations to ensure its services continue to represent best-in-class .
“ The data centre industry is developing so quickly . We are happy to be part of it , but it also puts the pressure on us to keep making things better . We need to make UPS more efficient , we need to make our digital switchgear more efficient , particularly from the cooling point of view .”
“ For engineers , they need to challenge themselves . In the past , things didn ' t move so fast , the tenders were longer time periods , and it was all a little bit more steady . Today , it ' s all turned around – everything has changed . And maybe people are ready for it .”
“ So , at ABB , we are using AR to add digital layers , digital systems , and optimisation programmes . Also , we ’ re not just doing automation or optimisation for one flaw . We can optimise between cooling and the motors , and make analyses for our electricity usage , then we can pull all of that information together .”
