Schneider Electric with its partners launch Malawi training lab

By integrating blockchain with AI-driven analytics, supply chains can monitor energy usage, emissions, and waste, identifying opportunities for improvement.

By using spatial intelligence, organisations can therefore reduce the energy footprint of AI while simultaneously enhancing performance.

Initially associated with cryptocurrency, blockchain has well and truly come into its own and now includes health, transportation, disaster recovery and importantly, supply chain management.

His new responsibilities include strengthening the Schneider Electric Foxboro brand in the SADC region.

The new facility is already operational as a carrier-neutral, AI-ready data centre, boasting to be East Africa's largest and most technologically advanced digital habitat for cloud, colocation, and connectivity.

Data Value Over Volume leverages AI by focusing on extracting meaningful insights from data rather than accumulating large quantities.

Datacentres and data transmission networks today account for approximately 1 to 1.5% of global electricity use.

Whilst the role of AI in energy lies heavily in utilities, there’s also a bigger picture.

In essence, backcasting begins with the end goal and then works backwards, which is counterintuitive to traditional forecasting which extrapolates from the past to predict the future.

This shift towards digitisation and sustainability not only benefits individual partners but also reinforces vendors' positions as frontrunners in the industry.

UPS system failure is one of the leading causes of unplanned data centre outages.
