DATA CENTRES

Megawatts on time, capital not idle.

Building a data centre has become a race between equipment lead times and the day the power goes on. EntroMetrix plans your orders, storage and crews across every site so the most megawatts come on when planned.

KEY RESULTS

−6 weeks

average delay per site against the plan

+14%

megawatts switched on when planned

sites cleared to start before all their power equipment has arrived

−3 months

time equipment sits in storage before installation

4 weeks

earlier warning that a supplier will be late

01 · THE PROBLEM

The order book, not the build, sets the date.

The long lead items in the power chain now take longer to arrive than the site takes to build. Developers order years ahead and keep equipment in storage, and still the energisation date slips.

Transformers, switchgear, generators, UPS and cooling come from a few suppliers with shared order books, so one late factory reaches several sites at once.

01Learned lead times by equipment type.

02 · WHAT IT COSTS YOU TODAY

Every month of delay is paid for on plant already built.

Late megawatts: revenue only starts at energisation, so a month lost at the end is a month of revenue lost on a site that is built and paid for.

Idle capital: ordering early ties up money in equipment that sits in storage for months.

Late surprises: a supplier's delay notice arrives about a week before the date, too late to move a slot to another site.

02Megawatts energised against plan, and one site's order book, before and after.

03 · WHAT ENTROMETRIX DOES

One plan across all your sites, refreshed every month.

Reads your records: purchase orders, supplier notices, goods receipts, storage logs and commissioning dates, with nothing new to collect.

Builds the twin: every site's power and cooling chain as linked deliveries, each with a lead time learned from that supplier's own record.

Finds the best plan: which site takes which order slot, what goes into storage and when crews are needed, tested against at least a hundred lead time futures.

Warns you early: scores every open order each week for the chance it will be late, weeks before the supplier's own notice.

03The chance an order slips, week by week before delivery.

04 · HOW YOU STAY IN CONTROL

Your rules, your teams, your final say.

Your history: every plan is replayed against your past two years of orders, deliveries and energisation dates before it reaches a desk.

Your limits: framework agreements, storage capacity, crew limits and grid dates are rules the model works within, never around.

Your systems: the twin runs offline beside a copy of your records.

Your teams: procurement and construction review every allocation and decide what is used.

Your measures: slip, megawatts on plan, storage months and supplier warnings are tracked against your own baseline.

04Energisation slip by site, before and after.

05 · WHAT YOU GAIN

Closer to plan, with less equipment waiting.

Power On Sooner

Sites reach energisation weeks closer to plan.

Less Capital Idle

Equipment bought early waits months less in storage.

No Surprises at Start Up

No site is cleared to start before all its power equipment is in.
