Compass and Schneider Electric Drive Data Center Efficiency with AI

Compass Datacenters and Schneider Electric are partnering to revolutionize the data center lifecycle using AI, maximizing uptime and cutting costs in design, build, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.

Innovative Reliability

Collaborating on Schneider Electric’s EcoCare services, Compass meets surging data demands faster and more reliably, accelerating market speed for customers.

Transitioning to AI-powered condition-based maintenance from calendar-based schedules, Compass is achieving a 40% reduction in manual on-site interventions and a 20% OPEX decrease.

Proactive Technology Integration

Factory-pre-commissioned sensors and gateways connect seamlessly to Schneider Electric’s 24/7 monitored IoT platform, reducing intrusive maintenance.

As an early adopter of EcoCare, Compass aims to lead the industry in AI-driven lifecycle services and maintenance improvements.

Modernizing Service Models

Moving beyond outdated service models, predictive maintenance offers cost-effectiveness, accuracy, reduced downtime (mitigating human error), and helps address workforce shortages. Designing for condition-based maintenance from day one enables a shift from reactive to proactive servicing, lowering TCO.

This collaboration facilitates Compass’s transition to condition-based maintenance and proactive asset management for better cost optimization and reliability.

Building for Speed and Efficiency

Addressing AI’s demand for high-density computing, Compass is studying OPEX, CAPEX, and sustainability by comparing prefab modules to stick-build construction with Schneider Electric.

EcoStruxure modular data centers offer benefits like reduced waste, right-sizing, rapid scaling, improved quality, supply chain transparency, sustainability, and advanced remote services.

Partnership for Progress

Pankaj Sharma (Schneider Electric) highlights their shared commitment to collaboration and addressing the talent gap through proactive asset management.

«We are extremely grateful for the unwavering support and unparalleled expertise that Schneider Electric has already provided in supplying us with prefabricated data centre power rooms,» said Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass Datacenters. «Our collaborative efforts will allow us to meet the increasing demands from our customers to deliver cutting-edge data centre solutions in an innovative manner.»
