AI Data Center Design & Deploy
100MW+ Campus • Liquid Cooled GPUs  
Rockwell Automation • Ignition • MQTT 

We took over the existing I&C design firm's scope, completed design packages including SOO definition and panel drawings, and aligned on tenant improvements. We managed panel fabrication, provided instrumentation procurement support, integrated control systems, developed SCADA, and supported commissioning and installation oversight.

SCADA Design & Deploy 
Ignition • Ubuntu • Cisco  • VMWare • PostgreSQL 

Merged two SCADA systems into a single Ignition platform with 200,000 tags. Our team implemented high-performance HMI elements, reduced alarm flooding, and created a distributed architecture for campus-wide access. We maintained existing standards and created new standard where required while introducing templatization and a comprehensive master tag list.
