The cycle of re-offending is a huge cost to the UK economy.

The standardised ‘kit of parts’ concept helps here too, as a platform-based design can be more readily adapted to tighter sites or existing structures..Ensuring adaptability and reliability.

For all the emphasis on innovation, Lincoln reiterates that data centres are mission-critical: even minor downtime can be cripplingly expensive for operators.This means that adopting new methods - be they industrial construction techniques or cooling advancements - demands careful piloting and collaboration.He stresses that Edged’s approach is built on tested engineering principles, explaining:.

‘Everyone is on a learning curve… The workloads that exist now were unimaginable only a few years ago, so it’s not about replicating the old formula - it’s about rethinking it.’.By leveraging both in-house expertise and external partnerships, Edged looks to mitigate risks while still pushing the boundaries of efficiency and sustainability..

Looking ahead: The data centre as a driver of change.

Data centres are evolving from passive consumers of power to active participants in broader energy ecosystems.Chip Thinking®️ brings everyone together.

It looks at a process from end to end, whether that be a manufacturing process, or a people-driven process, like a hospital.This process is broken down into spaces where key parts of value are added.

This could be a manufacturing step in a factory, or security check in an airport.We call these pieces of the value chain Chips, and strung together they form our process.. Chips provide physicality.
