Leading the way to Industry 5.0

Industry 5.0 in data centre operations represents the next evolution in integrating advanced technologies and human-centric approaches to create more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent infrastructures.

Unlike Industry 4.0, which focused on automation and digitalization, Industry 5.0 emphasises human-machine collaboration, where AI and robotics work alongside human operators to enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and personalised service.

In data centres, this manifests through AI-driven predictive maintenance, which predicts equipment failures and optimises performance, reducing downtime and energy consumption. Human operators collaborate with intelligent systems to fine-tune resource allocation, ensuring optimal utilisation. This synergy enhances resilience and adaptability in the face of growing demand all while reducing staff workload.

Sustainability is also a key focus, with Industry 5.0 promoting the use of green technologies, such as AI-optimised cooling systems and renewable energy integration, to minimise the environmental impact of data centres.

Industry 5.0 in data centres strives to balance cutting-edge automation with human expertise, fostering a more sustainable, resilient, and human-centric data infrastructure.

NUMEN AI is an Industry 5.0 enabling technology. NUMEN AI connects to various systems to collect a highly granular data set from assets and infrastructure. This data is analysed by a series of NUMEN AI algorithms. Algorithms and AI combines actual site data with industry benchmarks and expert knowledge to produce highly relevant and actionable insights into facility operations.
