DC Automation

The DC Automation Sub-Project under the OCP Data Center Facility Project was formed to promote, support, and guide development of physical automation solutions for data centers. It aims to use automation technologies to boost physical operation efficiency and safety in data centers and supporting infrastructure. The sub-project provides direction on known industry challenges and engages industry partners to develop technology roadmaps aimed at safer, more efficient operations, leveraging OCP's unique combination of hyperscale influence, vendors, and projects to accelerate the industry's automation goals. A formal scope statement has not yet been published; it will be added in the near future.
