AI Data Centers Are Rewriting the Rules of Power Infrastructure July 9, 2026 by Todd Walden | Data Centers, Power Generation - TL;DR AI data centers require far more power than traditional facilities. The electrical grid cannot yet support this scale or volatility. Onsite, islanded power systems are becoming the preferred approach. Project coordination is a major challenge across multiple suppliers. Automation providers play a key role in enabling speed-to-power. Why this matters now Many people are… Read More
Optimizing Efficiency of Power Production with Valves, Actuators, and Regulators webinar Optimizing Power Plant Efficiency with Pressure Relief and Blowdown Valves July 8, 2026 by Jim Cahill | Power Generation, Valves, Actuators & Regulators - In high-pressure, high-temperature service, small deviations in valve performance translate into measurable efficiency losses and safety risk. Code-compliant selection, proven design features, and factory-verified testing help operators avoid unplanned outages, extend maintenance intervals, and protect critical assets. Read More

Reliable Wireless Performance Starts with Reliable Power in Cold-Weather Environments

For oil and gas operators, maintaining visibility into critical process measurements is essential, especially at remote well sites, tank farms, and production facilities. In cold-weather environments, power module performance becomes increasingly important because low temperatures can increase internal battery resistance and raise the risk of communication interruptions.

Isolation Valves: The Safety Switches of the Data Center Thermal Network

Cooling is the backbone of any data center, and Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities run it through parallel loops. Isolation valves let operators take a pump, chiller, or air handler offline while cooling continues through an alternate path. Valve pressure drop also adds to pump load and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), so these choices compound across a facility.

Why Data Centers Are Rethinking Measurement Infrastructure

Why Data Centers Are Rethinking Measurement Infrastructure

AI workloads are pushing rack densities to 100 kilowatts per rack or more, and the liquid cooling loops that support them add complexity that commercial meters were not built to handle. Any service interruption carries significant financial consequences through service-level agreement penalties. In some AI-focused facilities, cooling accounts for roughly 30 to 40% of total facility energy use, so measurement accuracy directly affects both cost and uptime.

Smart Instrumentation for Specialty Chemical Manufacturing

Smart Instrumentation for Specialty Chemical Manufacturing

Unlike large continuous plants, specialty chemical sites often make many products with frequent changeovers, so flexibility, speed, and quality control matter more. Off-spec batches must be downgraded, reworked, or scrapped, and a missing feedstock discovered mid-campaign can be a major loss. Safety risks from toxic, hazardous, and flammable materials are present every day. Accurate, reliable measurement gives engineers the data they need to manage all these pressures at once.
