DeltaV Automation Platform for Data Centers delivers precision control, industrial reliability and project expertise to accelerate time-to-compute
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As artificial intelligence (AI) accelerates data center demand and compresses project timelines, infrastructure complexity is at an all-time high. Global automation leader Emerson's (NYSE: EMR) DeltaV™ Automation Platform for Data Centers meets this challenge with an automation portfolio designed for AI-scale data centers – where speed, reliability and operational excellence are non-negotiable. The DeltaV Automation Platform for Data Centers delivers a unified automation system for the monitoring and control of data center critical infrastructure, bringing together the thermal, mechanical and electrical sub-systems under a highly scalable, flexible architecture.
In the AI era, faster time to market directly impacts revenue, customer commitments and competitive advantage. These compressed project timelines put tremendous pressure on supply chains, engineering and design teams, electricians, engineers and other project personnel who must rapidly complete the project while simultaneously meeting the reliability, flexibility and dynamic operational needs of modern data centers. To bring gigawatt-scale facilities online faster while maximizing operational reliability, the DeltaV Automation Platform for Data Centers replaces point solutions and complex mappings with an integrated automation architecture from the inception of project design. Rather than separate, manual coordination of sub-systems, the DeltaV platform unifies them under a single unified control solution, reducing engineering effort, simplifying integration and creating consistency across commissioning, operations and maintenance. "Data center performance is no longer defined by individual components alone, but by how effectively critical systems work together," said Nathan Pettus, president of Emerson's process systems and solutions business. "The DeltaV Automation Platform for Data Centers gives operators the unified visibility and coordinated control they need to commission projects predictably, operate reliably at scale and meet aggressive timelines. It's the foundation that turns speed into sustainable competitive advantage." The DeltaV Automation Platform for Data Centers delivers:
The DeltaV Automation Platform for Data Centers provides a comprehensive automation portfolio including its industry-leading DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) and DeltaV programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that connect to the DCS for system-wide process control. Both the DeltaV DCS and DeltaV PLCs incorporate context-specific AI solutions to accelerate engineering workflows, provide advanced process control and enable data centers to integrate AI optimization models. The DeltaV DCS and PLCs natively work together to deliver continuous intelligence – enabling faster builds, lower costs, predictable performance, and eventually, autonomous operations. "AI data centers are pushing at the very limits of scale, speed and complexity, exposing the limitations of piecemeal automation architectures," said Pettus. "The DeltaV Automation Platform for Data Centers is built on intelligent, unified automation architectures instead of isolated systems to provide the flexibility not only to quickly reach first token, but also help data centers stay competitive, secure and relevant across the lifecycle of operation."
