EkkoSense’s monitoring places low-cost wireless EkkoSensors on rack doors and EkkoAir sensors on CRAC and air handling units, so operators can see temperature, humidity, and cooling load down to each rack and cooling unit. A single EkkoHub receiver collects encrypted data from up to 500 sensors and sends it to the EkkoSoft Critical 3D platform. That turns a data hall’s airflow and thermal behavior into a live, color-mapped view, so teams can spot hotspots, bypass air, and cooling faults that a traditional building management system would miss.

Built-in anomaly detection then works as an early warning layer. EkkoSoft Critical tracks how far each cooling unit drifts from its control setpoint and alerts on abnormal performance changes, catching developing problems before they hit standard alarm thresholds or cause an outage. The detection is vendor-agnostic and covers hybrid air and liquid environments, including chillers, chilled water systems, and coolant distribution units. Alerts can be sent through Microsoft Teams or JSON webhooks into existing building management systems, helping operators maintain ASHRAE thermal compliance and protect uptime.
