Power equipment manufacturer ABB has invested in OctaiPipe, a UK-based AI firm focused on optimizing data center cooling systems. The partnership will see the companies supply data center operators with tools to achieve substantial energy savings, strengthen operational resilience, and meet the growing demands for sustainability and transparency.
“Energy efficiency is key to ensuring industries can outrun, leaner, and cleaner. It’s a must, not a plus,” concluded Ankush Gulati, energy efficiency program lead, ABB Motion Services.
“By integrating OctaiPipe’s cutting-edge AI, we are broadening our proven offering with advanced software capabilities, enabling data centers to optimize energy use in their cooling infrastructure. With the US economy predicted to consume more electricity in 2030 for processing data than for manufacturing all energy-intensive goods combined, the opportunity for impact is significant.”
“Data centers are the engines of the digital economy, but their energy footprint is unsustainable without radical innovation,” said Eric Topham, CEO and co-founder of OctaiPipe. “Think of our federated learning platform as an orchestra conductor, smartly adjusting the performance of the cooling system based on what’s actually needed. In this way, our AI-driven software solution delivers secure, compliant, and actionable optimization. By joining forces with ABB, we’re not just scaling technology. We’re enabling data center operators to future-proof their infrastructure and thrive in a rapidly evolving market.”
