Infinitum Launches New EC Motor for Data Center Cooling Applications

Infinitum | February 07, 2023

On February 06, 2023, Infinitum, one of the air core motor producers, launched, a brand new Aircore electrically commutated EC motor designed especially for data center’s cooling applications, reducing their power and energy consumption. Customized for the data center cooling application's power, speed, and torque requirements, it enhances motor performance. In addition, it reduces energy consumption by about 10-15%, minimizing input current, reducing the wiring and protection urgencies of the electric unit, and thus saving costs on wiring, transformers, circuit breakers, and upstream electric infrastructure. It features an integrated variable frequency drive (VFD), optimizing motor control and efficiency, with IoT connectivity to monitor critical equipment, BACnet and Modbus controllers, transforming building operations. It is about 50% smaller, lighter, more efficient, and quieter than traditional motors, using over 66% less copper than previous models with a sustainable circular lifecycle. Its modular design has reusable rotors, housing, and stators, increasing the model's life. Senior Market Analyst at Interact Analysis, Blake Griffin, said, "Data centers are growing in size and energy intensity as the world's demand for data grows exponentially." He added, "Infinitum's smaller, lighter, high-efficiency motor systems are a key technology for reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint." (Source – Business Wire) Founder and CEO of Infinitum, Ben Schuler, said, "We're excited to bring our class-leading, sustainable Aircore EC motors to the data centre world and give data centre operators the opportunity to reduce energy demand and costs." He added, "When thousands of motors are often required to power data centers, our improved motor efficiency, reduced noise levels, and smart features for visibility and building optimization add up to make a big impact for this sector." (Source – Business Wire) About Infinitum Infinitum has made electric motors more durable, efficient, lighter, and cost-effective since 2016. Headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, it works with manufacturers and industrial OEMs to customize the technology for specific applications and market sectors worldwide. It provides broad applications across multiple industries by utilizing patent-pending Printed Circuit Board (PCB) stator technology. It produces Aircore EC, an integrated motor and drive; Aircore Mobility, for mobility applications; and Aircore Power Gen, the motor alternator, with applications like fans, pumps, mobility, and power generators. It has obtained patents from different countries worldwide for its various systems, applications, and apparatus.

Siemens Energy Chooses Syntax for Global Implementation Partnership

Syntax | January 04, 2023

In a recent announcement, leading multi-ERP managed cloud provider Syntax collaborates with Siemens Energy to design and implement its new SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud (DMC) infrastructure for more than 80 production sites worldwide. Syntax will implement the SAP DMC subscription contract for Siemens Energy’s five pilot plants in Germany, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. In addition, Syntax will collect critical process data for analysis, process modeling and execution, and resource coordination, reflecting the broad range of Siemens Energy's requirements. Syntax’s expertise will be used in the integration of manufacturing processes for the company, laying a solid foundation for a digital factory through the development of a standard template. This Siemens Energy template is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. It will then be gradually rolled out to all of Siemens Energy’s sites across the globe, over a seven-year period. “As an important part of our sustainable digitization strategy within the production areas, this project is of great strategic importance for Siemens Energy. Using the same systems at all production sites is the basis for notably better cooperation, protection against cybersecurity threats, and more efficient interests of the customer."
