Ⅰ. Data Center Operation and Maintenance Enters the Intelligent Era: Santak Gains International Recognition through Innovation
Against the backdrop of accelerated digital transformation and the advancement of the "East Data West Computing" project, data centers, as the core infrastructure of the digital economy, face higher challenges in operation and maintenance efficiency and stability. Traditional 2D monitoring systems, plagued by insufficient visualization and lack of intelligent optimization capabilities, struggle to meet the refined management needs of high-density micro-module computer rooms. As a technological leader in the power assurance field, Santak, relying on over 40 years of industry accumulation, has deeply integrated AI and 3D visualization technologies to create the PEC series intelligent power and environment monitoring system, reinventing data center operation and maintenance models through disruptive innovation.
In March 2025, the Santak PEC series stood out from thousands of entries worldwide with its "technological forward-thinking, user experience innovation, and industrial design aesthetics," winning the German iF Design Award. It became the first Chinese local intelligent power and environment monitoring brand to receive this honor, marking international authoritative recognition of Chinese enterprises' technological breakthroughs in data center intelligence.
Ⅱ. AI-Driven + 3D Visualization: Redefining Three Core Capabilities of Intelligent Operation and Maintenance
Designed specifically for micro-module data centers, the Santak PEC series achieves end-to-end intelligence from equipment monitoring to system optimization through a three-layer architecture of **"full equipment interconnection - data fusion - intelligent decision-making,"** with core advantages as follows:
1. 3D Visualization Configuration: Panoramic Display with Millimeter-Level Precision
Unlike traditional 2D/2.5D monitoring interfaces, the PEC-500 uses dynamic 3D modeling technology to 1:1 restore the physical space of cabinets, air conditioners, power distribution equipment, etc., based on the actual computer room layout, supporting 360° rotation, hierarchical zooming, and link tracking. The monitoring homepage integrates 6 core modules (equipment status, power distribution, air conditioning, environment, energy consumption, carbon emissions), with key data such as UPS load rate, air conditioner return air temperature, and cabinet energy consumption displayed in real-time through dynamic charts. Operation and maintenance personnel can click on any device with a mouse to view detailed parameters, and fault points automatically highlight and flash in the 3D model, upgrading traditional "data report-style" monitoring to "scenario-based immersive" management and improving fault location efficiency by 70%.
2. AI Algorithm Empowerment: From "Passive Monitoring" to "Active Optimization"
Santak integrates deep learning algorithms into the system's core control modules, enabling four intelligent applications:
AI Intelligent Cooling Optimization: By collecting data on cabinet temperature, air conditioner operation parameters, and load changes, it dynamically adjusts the air supply temperature and speed of each air conditioner, improving the cooling system's energy efficiency ratio (SCOP) by 25% and achieving an annual power saving rate of 18% while ensuring equipment safety;
AI Fault Diagnosis: Builds a million-level fault knowledge base, real-time analyzes equipment operation data and historical alarm records, automatically infers fault roots (such as battery aging, poor cable contact), and provides standardized repair plans, reducing average fault handling time by 60%;
AI Battery Health Management: Goes beyond traditional voltage/current monitoring, using neural network algorithms to analyze battery charge-discharge curves, accurately predict remaining capacity and lifespan, and issue early warnings for battery degradation 3 months in advance to avoid sudden power failure risks;
AI Environmental Adaptation: Real-time monitors environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, smoke, and water immersion, and automatically adjusts lighting, access control, and ventilation systems based on equipment load data, reducing equipment failure rates by 40% in high-temperature and high-humidity scenarios.
3. Full Equipment联动 Management: Creating a "Thinking" Data Center
The PEC system supports access to over 100 equipment types, including UPS, precision power distribution, PDU, air conditioners, fire sensors, etc., achieving seamless docking of cross-brand and cross-protocol equipment through a unified data platform. When a utility power outage is detected, the system automatically triggers UPS redundant power supply and adjusts the air conditioner operation mode to reduce energy consumption simultaneously; if the temperature of a certain cabinet exceeds the standard, it immediately coordinates nearby air conditioners for directional air supply while pushing 3D spatial location alarms through a mobile APP, realizing closed-loop management of "monitoring - analysis - execution" and endowing the data center with autonomous decision-making capabilities.
Ⅲ. Behind the Award: Santak Defines Technological Innovation Boundaries by User Needs
The iF Award win is not only an affirmation of the PEC series' industrial design (such as the human-machine interaction interface of the 7-inch touchscreen and the minimalist-lined monitoring host) but also stems from its deep resolution of industry pain points:
Challenges in Small and Medium Computer Room Operation and Maintenance: For unmanned edge computer room scenarios, the PEC system supports remote firmware upgrades and automatic generation of operation and maintenance reports, reducing 90% of manual inspection costs;
Green and Low-Carbon Needs: Through AI energy efficiency optimization and carbon emission visualization, it helps enterprises comply with carbon footprint management standards. In a financial data center application, the PUE value dropped from 1.8 to 1.52;
Modular Deployment Advantages: Supports plug-and-play distributed architecture, reducing deployment time for new computer rooms by 50%, enabling transformation of old computer rooms without interrupting business, and being compatible with 95% of traditional equipment.
Ⅳ. Leading Industry Trends: From "Equipment Monitoring" to "Digital Twin"
With the popularization of AI large models and IoT technologies, data center operation and maintenance is evolving from "localized intelligence" to "global digital twin." The PEC series' 3D visualization and AI algorithms lay the foundation for building a data center digital twin—by creating a real-time mirror of the physical world, the system can simulate power distribution, cooling efficiency, and fault impacts under different load scenarios, assisting managers in capacity planning and emergency plan drills.
"This award is the result of Santak's dual-driven approach of 'technology + scenarios,'" said the head of Santak's R&D team. "We not only focus on technology itself but are also committed to making AI truly solve user pain points, making complex computer room management simple, efficient, and safe."
