How Tech is Transforming Data Center Construction
About this episode
The episode discusses how technology, particularly OpenSpace's platform, is transforming data center construction through real-time visual data capture.
Demand for data center space is hitting all-time records. That is creating a major boom in data center construction, including more projects and larger campuses. How does the industry keep track of all this construction? For more than 1,000 data center projects, the answer is OpenSpace, a technology company that provides visual intelligence on construction job sites. Its platform uses 360-degree cameras, smartphones and drones to create a digital record of the project that can be updated in real time. OpenSpace packages this "reality capture" visual data in apps that offer a remote overview of the project, giving owners, general contractors, and subcontractors a shared visual record of every corner of these massive sites, updated continuously as work progresses. OpenSpace CEO Jeevan Kalanithi joins us for a fascinating discussion about his company's platform and the role of technology in construction.
