As AI, cloud computing, and high-density servers continue to push data centres harder than ever, cooling infrastructure has become mission critical.

That’s where Unitronics UniStream PLCs with embedded Redfish protocol change the game.

Unlike traditional PLC solutions, UniStream communicates directly with data centre infrastructure using native Redfish support — no gateways, protocol converters, or additional middleware required. ()

With one integrated platform, you can:
✔ Control cooling loops and CDU systems
✔ Monitor thermal conditions in real time
✔ Connect directly to DCIM systems
✔ Simplify integration across multi-vendor environments
✔ Reduce complexity while improving efficiency

One controller. One platform. Complete visibility and control.

Consistency is everything in food and beverage production.

That’s why breweries and food manufacturers around the world rely on Unitronics PLC + HMI solutions to automate critical processes like temperature control, monitoring, and production management.

One example is Twisted Vine Brewery, where Unitronics Vision controllers helped automate fermentation temperature control, monitor trends remotely, and improve consistency across the brewing process — all while operating reliably in harsh, high-temperature conditions. ()

With integrated PLC + HMI control, remote access capabilities, and intuitive software, Unitronics helps manufacturers:
✔ Improve product consistency
✔ Reduce manual intervention
✔ Monitor processes remotely
✔ Scale systems as operations grow

Smart automation built for real production environments.

Managing multiple pump systems shouldn’t mean switching between screens and systems all day.

With centralised monitoring dashboards powered by Unitronics UniCloud, you can view flow, pressure, alarms, and pump status in real time — all from one platform. UniCloud enables centralised dashboards with live flow, pressure, and operational visibility across multiple pumping stations.

From high-level system visibility down to individual pump performance, everything you need is accessible when you need it.

This also makes daily operations simpler:
✔ Track maintenance and service activities
✔ Detect issues before they become downtime
✔ Monitor trends and system performance remotely
✔ Keep distributed pump systems connected and under control

A smarter, more connected approach to pump system management.

What keeps data centres running when the power fails?

Backup generators.
And those generators rely on one critical factor: clean diesel fuel.

AXI International developed automated fuel polishing systems to ensure generator fuel stays clean, stable, and ready when it’s needed most. Using UniStream PLC + HMI controllers, operators can:

✔ Schedule fuel filtration automatically
✔ Monitor tank conditions in real time
✔ Receive alerts before small issues become major failures

A practical example of how smart automation helps data centres maintain reliable backup power and meet strict uptime requirements.

With UniCloud you can:
✔ View live machine data in real time
✔ Receive alerts when conditions change
✔ Identify issues early before they become downtime
✔ Log in securely from anywhere

Whether it’s heavy rains, flooding, or unexpected travel disruptions, UniCloud keeps you connected to your operations—no matter where you are.
