Join us for this virtual event for Data Centers

The world runs on data. As global demand for AI and machine learning grows exponentially, the demand for processing power is driving explosive growth that doesn’t show and signs of slowing down. This makes data centers the defacto backbone of modern business operations in 2025 and beyond. However, as data center facilities scale to meet growing demand, they face mounting challenges—from increasing power consumption and overheating risks to uptime compliance and the ever-looming threat of unplanned outages.

Powering the Digital World brings together experts from IRISS to explore the latest innovations in electrical reliability, proactive maintenance, and thermal risk management. Learn how to keep your mission-critical systems running 24/7 with smarter, safer, and more efficient electrical solutions.

Some highlights from this event you should know

Session 1:

SMARTER ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE FOR HIGH-DENSITY DATA CENTERS

For data centers, the demand for uptime has never been higher. Mark Paul explores the key factors affecting electrical reliability in data centers, from NFPA 70B compliance to best practices for reducing downtime and energy waste. Discover actionable strategies that enhance system resilience while lowering operational risks.
Session 2:

THE DEATH OF THE CLIPBOARD: DIGITAL TOOLS RESHAPING INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE

Paper checklists and manual logs are relics of the past. Today’s industrial maintenance demands speed, accuracy, and real-time data—none of which a clipboard can provide. In this RED Talk, Eric Thompson explores how digital tools are revolutionizing inspections, asset management, and predictive maintenance, helping facilities boost efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance safety. The future isn’t just paperless—it’s smarter.
Session 3:

THE ROLE OF THERMOCHROMICS IN DATA CENTER RELIABILITY

Overheating and electrical faults are a constant threat in high-density computing environments. In this session, Byron Matos breaks down how thermochromic indicators provide round-the-clock monitoring for critical electrical systems. Learn how these simple yet powerful tools act as an early warning system, helping facility teams catch issues before they lead to costly downtime.
Session 4:

Event agenda

Session 1
SMARTER ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE FOR HIGH-DENSITY DATA CENTERS
In mission-critical data center environments, routine electrical inspections must be performed without causing downtime or operational risk. In this session, Mark Paul explores how IRISS solutions, including Safe-Connect thermochromic indicators and CAP and VP Series IR windows, allow for non-intrusive, continuous monitoring, keeping critical systems running without disruption.

Attendees will learn how these technologies streamline maintenance workflows, reduce the risk of undetected failures, and help facilities meet uptime and compliance standards. By integrating proactive electrical maintenance into their operations, data centers can prevent unexpected outages, improve thermal risk management, and ensure long-term system reliability.

Session 2
THE DEATH OF THE CLIPBOARD: DIGITAL TOOLS RESHAPING INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE
Paper checklists and manual logs no longer cut it in today’s fast-paced industrial environments. Facilities need real-time data, automation, and predictive insights to maximize efficiency and minimize risk. In this RED Talk, Eric Thompson explores how digital tools are transforming maintenance operations, replacing outdated paper-based methods with cutting-edge solutions that improve accuracy, streamline workflows, and enhance safety.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how cloud-based platforms, IoT-driven asset monitoring, and AI-powered predictive maintenance are eliminating inefficiencies and empowering teams with actionable insights. Learn how to stay ahead of the curve and make data-driven decisions that keep your data center running at peak performance.

Key takeaways include:

  • The limitations of traditional paper-based maintenance tracking
  • How digital tools are enhancing reliability and safety
  • Practical steps to implement smart maintenance technologies in your facility
Session 3
THE ROLE OF THERMOCHROMICS IN DATA CENTER RELIABILITY
Data centers are mission-critical environments where overheating and electrical failures can be incredibly expensive. In this session, Byron Matos examines how thermochromic indicators serve as a continuous, passive monitoring solution, providing instant, visual alerts to dangerous temperature fluctuations. These low-tech, high-impact tools help prevent electrical failures, reduce the risk of fire, and keep essential systems running without disruption.

Attendees will explore real-world applications where thermochromic technology can be successfully integrated into data center maintenance strategies, improving reliability and reducing costly unplanned outages. Learn how these innovative indicators complement existing monitoring solutions to create a layered approach to thermal risk management.

Key takeaways include:

  • Why thermal risks are a major concern in high-density computing environments
  • How thermochromic indicators provide early warnings before failures occur
  • Where to deploy these solutions for maximum impact in a data center setting

 

Session 4
Q&A Session
In this interactive session, our panel of experts will address your most pressing questions about thermochromic technology, condition-based maintenance, and smarter inspection solutions. This is your chance to clarify key concepts, dive deeper into real-world applications, and gain tailored advice for your facility.

Whether you’re curious about implementation strategies or specific use cases, the Q&A session provides a platform for personalized insights from the IRISS team. Bring your questions and get ready to engage in an informative discussion.

Key takeaways include:

  • Personalized advice from industry experts
  • In-depth answers to your specific maintenance challenges
