The combination of IoT, digital twins and artificial intelligence have opened the door to measurable improvement in control system performance. Data center mechanical and electrical infrastructure is increasingly connected to intelligent software agents capable of optimizing control decisions while automatic fault diagnostics identify problems before they become catastrophic. In high intensity data center operations, it is essential to follow a continuous and practical path toward success, using the right improvements to start small and systematically enhance over time to achieve maximum results. This session will focus on proven methods to get started, as well as advanced sensors, AI platforms and skills needed to be successful.
