[Blog] I want to place an AI server in the factory. However, there is no server room. We will solve that problem.

In the manufacturing sector, while the use of AI image inspection, equipment data analysis, and generative AI is advancing, the challenge of "where to install GPU servers within the factory" is also increasing. To operate high-performance GPU servers stably, additional facilities beyond the server itself are necessary, including cooling, power supply, UPS for power outage measures, dust prevention, monitoring, and physical security. However, constructing a new server room for these purposes poses challenges in terms of space, cost, and construction. This is where "MDC (Micro Data Center)" becomes a new option. MDC consolidates the necessary functions for server operation, such as racks, cooling, power supply/UPS, monitoring, and security, into a compact unit. It allows for the establishment of an IT infrastructure that processes AI image inspection, equipment analysis, and generative AI in an environment close to the production site while utilizing existing factory space. At Applied, we offer configurations that include not only the MDC itself but also GPU servers, storage, networking, UPS, and installation and deployment. If you are considering the introduction of an AI infrastructure within your factory, please feel free to consult with us.
