RS enables next-generation AI data centers with Omron Automation’s industrial control panel products
Omron’s switch-mode power supplies, motor condition monitoring devices, and liquid leakage sensor amplifiers address critical power, uptime, and cooling challenges in high-density data center and industrial automation environments.
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, offers an extensive selection of Omron Automation industrial control panel products engineered to enable more efficient, resilient control systems, maximize uptime, and reduce operating risks in demanding next-generation AI data center, edge AI, and IIoT applications.
The rapid rise of AI is fueling an unprecedented wave of data center development and a $1 trillion global infrastructure supercycle, leading hyperscale providers to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into high-density data capacity and push rack densities into the megawatt range. These new greenfield and extensively retrofitted brownfield facilities require unprecedented levels of power generation, generate extreme thermal loads, and often aim for six nines (99.9999%) uptime, which only allows for around 30 seconds of downtime per year.
Satisfying these rigorous demands in these challenging environments requires specialized AI automation control panel products designed to help data center operators, panel builders, system integrators, machine builders, and facility maintenance engineers optimize panel footprints, enable real-time predictive control, maximize reliability and thermal, power, and energy efficiency, and support scalability.
Purpose-Built AI Automation Control Panel Products
Omron Automation industrial control panel products, available at RS, are engineered using Omron’s Value Design for Panel concept to help solve the biggest challenges facing next-generation data center and industrial facilities, including stable power and thermal management, predictive maintenance and asset health, and liquid cooling leak protection. By unifying component dimensions, enabling zero-clearance side-by-side mounting, and incorporating vibration-resistant Push-in Plus wiring terminals, this standardized panel platform delivers up to 50% cabinet space savings and slashes wiring labor by approximately 60% while optimizing internal airflow.
Omron Automation switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) convert incoming AC power to stable DC power for downstream components, like PLCs and relays, provide basic input filtering and output voltage regulation, and are built to the highest level of reliability and backed by a competitive five-year warranty. Their compact form factors deliver 20–50% space savings compared to legacy units. This allows panel builders to downsize enclosures or fit more components into tight spaces, helps reduce assembly costs, and improves airflow and heat dissipation inside the panel, which improves component reliability and durability. They also exhibit exceptional efficiency, which mitigates heat generation and eases cabinet-level thermal burdens on surrounding cooling infrastructure.
