Modern digital infrastructure representing industrial technology transition
Reducing Commissioning Time

Shorten Time to Power

CPLANE helps data center builders and the system integrators who serve them commission cooling, power, and air handling on one open stack. The same path fits other builds where equipment arrives with its own PLC. Cybersecurity is designed in.

Set up a Strategy Call

Commissioning Is the Schedule

A data hall does not wait on a process outage. It waits on cooling, power, and air handling to come up together. Each of those ships with its own PLC and its own protocol.

One open stack lets the SI commission a CDU, a chiller, and a power zone against the same interfaces. The same path fits any build where packaged equipment arrives with its own controller.

How We Start

An SI-led path from the controls spec to load on the hall.

Step 1

Map What Has to Come Up First

Which CDU, chiller, and power zone have to come up first, and which of them arrived with their own PLC.

Step 2

Prove One Loop

Commission one isolatable loop: a CDU circuit, a secondary chiller, or a single power zone. The rest of the hall stays on plan until that loop proves itself.

Step 3

Keep the Integrator

CPLANE does not go around the SI who already knows the plant. Engineering, the integrator, and operations stay in the loop.

Step 4

Evaluate on the Fusion 500

Validate the platform on the Fusion 500 before the wider build. Same stack the SI will leave running the hall.

Built to Shorten Commissioning

Data centers first. The same path wherever equipment arrives with its own PLC.

Where the schedule slips

Cooling, power, and air handling. On a data center build, each lineup arrives with its own controller. The same pattern shows up on packaged skids and other fast builds.

  • CDUs, chillers, and power lineups
  • Air handling and facility loops
  • Packaged equipment that ships with its own PLC

One PLC per lineup stretches the schedule

When the CDU, the chiller, and the power zone only speak their own vendor's stack, the SI spends the schedule on drivers. Deterministic loops as fast as 20 ms are what liquid-cooled high-density compute requires.

  • A different PLC on every CDU, chiller, and power lineup
  • Protocols that do not meet until late in the build
  • A hall that cannot take load until those stacks are integrated
Modernize compute. Keep the field wiring.

Commission against one stack

CDU, chiller, power, and air handling run as isolated applications on one platform. No single hardware brand gates the build schedule.

  • Start on one CDU circuit, a secondary chiller, or a single power zone
  • IEC 61131-3 and OPC UA from the start
  • The SI who knows the hall stays in the lead
Your SI stays in the loop.

Open, software-defined control

Harder to attack, easier to patch, cheaper to sustain, and free of single-vendor dependency at every layer. Software failover in under one control cycle. No extra standby chassis.

  • Patch and swap a node on the plant's schedule
  • Patch and swap a node without a maintenance window
  • Multiple vendors can supply standards-based components
Not a lock-in swap.

Designed in, not bolted on

The control layer is built to IEC 62443-4-2 SL2. A February 2026 U.S. Army red team found no vulnerabilities that allowed unauthorized access to control.

  • Zone the plant. Access through a gateway.
  • Not a substitute for red-teaming or taking controllers off the internet today.
  • A password change on a controller is an operations event.

In production, and relevant here

Open control on this stack is in production at an ExxonMobil chemical terminal. The same stack is what a data hall commissions: one platform for cooling, power, and air handling. Fusion 500 is the evaluation unit before a wider build.
