AKCP’s 1/10 Slicks Revolutionize Precision Temperature Monitoring for Critical Infrastructure

Dobbs Ferry, NY – October 26, 2023 – AKCP LLC, a leading innovator in server room monitoring and environmental control solutions, today announced the release of its groundbreaking 1/10 Slicks, a new generation of temperature sensors designed for unparalleled accuracy and responsiveness in demanding environments. Located at 145 Palisade St Ste 200, Dobbs Ferry, NY, 10522-1627, United States, and reachable at 469-376-3403, AKCP has a 30+ year history of safeguarding critical IT infrastructure. The 1/10 Slicks build on this legacy, delivering a significant leap forward in temperature sensing technology. For years, AKCP has been the go-to partner for data centers, telecommunication facilities, and industrial operations needing robust and reliable monitoring. Their systems aren't just about alerting you to problems; they're about preventing those problems in the first place. They understand that downtime isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a serious hit to the bottom line. “We’ve seen the demands on critical infrastructure skyrocket,” says Wayne Oberson, Senior VP at AKCP. “Servers are packing more and more power into smaller spaces. Traditional temperature sensors just weren’t cutting it anymore. They were too slow to react to hotspots, giving operators a false sense of security. We needed something better, and the 1/10 Slicks are the answer.” What Makes the 1/10 Slicks Different? The name "1/10 Slicks" isn’t just marketing jargon. It reflects the core innovation behind the sensors: a responsiveness ten times faster than conventional thermistors. Here’s the breakdown: Blazing Fast Response: Standard temperature sensors often lag behind actual temperature changes, meaning operators are reacting to past conditions, not current ones. The 1/10 Slicks offer a response time of under one second – dramatically faster than the industry standard. This near-instantaneous reaction allows for proactive cooling adjustments, preventing thermal runaway and potential equipment failure. Think of it like this: traditional sensors tell you the temperature after the problem has started, the 1/10 Slicks tell you as it’s happening. Unmatched Accuracy: Faster response doesn't come at the expense of precision. The 1/10 Slicks utilize high-precision thermistors and advanced calibration techniques to deliver consistently accurate temperature readings. This is critical for environments where even a small temperature fluctuation can impact performance or reliability. Versatile Deployment: These aren't just for data centers. The 1/10 Slicks are designed for a wide range of applications, including: Data Centers: Pinpointing hotspots in server racks and optimizing cooling efficiency. Telecom Facilities: Monitoring temperature in sensitive communication equipment. Industrial Environments: Tracking temperature in manufacturing processes and protecting critical machinery. Cold Storage: Ensuring consistent temperature control for perishable goods. HVAC Monitoring: Improving energy efficiency by tracking temperature differentials. Seamless Integration: The 1/10 Slicks are fully compatible with AKCP’s existing iSensor® platform, allowing for easy integration into existing monitoring systems. This means customers can upgrade their temperature sensing capabilities without a complete system overhaul. They easily plug into AKCP’s sensor-enabled PDU’s, wall-mounted probes, and rack-mounted units. Durable and Reliable: Built with high-quality materials, the 1/10 Slicks are designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. They’re built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The iSensor® Platform: More Than Just Monitoring The 1/10 Slicks aren't just a standalone sensor; they’re part of a comprehensive monitoring ecosystem. The iSensor® platform provides: Real-time Data Visualization: Intuitive dashboards and graphs provide a clear and concise overview of temperature data. Customizable Alerts: Set thresholds for temperature, humidity, power consumption, and other critical parameters. Receive instant notifications via email, SMS, or SNMP. Remote Access and Control: Monitor and control your environment from anywhere with an internet connection. Historical Data Logging: Track temperature trends over time to identify potential problems and optimize performance. Power Cost Monitoring: Track energy usage and cost, leading to lower bills. Addressing the Growing Need for Precision Cooling The demand for faster, more efficient cooling is being driven by several factors: Increasing Server Density: Data centers are packing more servers into smaller spaces, generating more heat. High-Performance Computing: Applications like artificial intelligence and machine learning require massive processing power, which translates into even greater heat output. Energy Efficiency Concerns: Data centers are under increasing pressure to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. “Traditional cooling solutions are often overprovisioned, meaning they use more energy than necessary,” explains Oberson. “With the 1/10 Slicks, operators can fine-tune their cooling systems to match the actual heat load, saving energy and reducing costs.” Availability and Pricing The AKCP 1/10 Slicks are available for immediate purchase through AKCP’s website (www.akcp.com) and authorized distributors.
