The new product suite leverages a versatile data-driven strategy
to optimize energy efficiency, enhance system reliability and
provide analysis and monitoring. The name (pronounced “i-core”)
brings together the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
‘core’, which reflects the central nervous system or ‘core’ of
these products. With the launch of this new offering, Güntner will
transition the name of its current products - GMMnext, GHMnext, and
GSC next - to aicore™. This rebranding represents the culmination
of extensive research, development, and strategic planning.
“This product evolution embodies the essence of our brand
promise: Always a solution ahead,” said Joerg Koecher, Güntner’s
Chief Digital Officer & Head of IoT Controls Solutions. “Our
aicore™ solutions signify a robust and forward-thinking product
strategy, integrating all Güntner products to provide our customers
with a holistic and enhanced experience.”
“It's not just about visualizing and collecting data – the real
value comes from leveraging that data,” said Zachary Wernlund,
Güntner’s Smart Solutions Manager. “By integrating advanced data
processing techniques into our control systems and applying
predictive maintenance algorithms, we can utilize data from all our
units around the world to drive significant improvements.”
All of the new aicoreTM controllers (air, hydro and fusion) are
completely backwards compatible with existing customer
applications, and simply need to be installed to replace the older
controller models. This allows for all previously installed
equipment to gain the advantages of the latest developments in the
new aicoreTM range. Existing orders will automatically be upgraded
to the state-of-the-art aicoreTM product range.
aicore™ air (formerly
GMMnext)
The future of controllers for Güntner, with the core
functionality of providing cooling to the water/glycol or
refrigerant medium by synchronously ramping Electronically
Commutated (EC) fans. Combined with advanced features around
precision cooling and proactive maintenance this guarantees the
most exact and reliable energy efficient control to maintain the
desired outlet temperature or inlet pressure for coolers and
condensers.
aicore™ hydro (formerly
GHMnext)
aicore™ hydro is primarily used as a replacement to provide the
latest technology for installed existing equipment that already
uses the GHMpad. It features Güntner’s hydroBLU technology
including freeze protection, hygenic drain and automatic cleaning
features to maintain optimal operation.
aicore™ fusion
The one stop complete solution for EC fans and hydroBLU
adiabatic operation incorporating the high efficiency energy
management of the aicore™ air and merging Güntner's proprietary
exact water algorithm for the most optimal and minimized water
usage, based on customers’ applications. Combining these two
flagship control algorithms provides a complete energy and water
resource solution, focused on delivery energy and water savings
throughout the product life cycle.
aicore™ cloud
The comprehensive aicore™ product line can be integrated with
Güntner’s advanced IoT and analytics platform, aicore™ cloud,
providing a 360-degree view of operation and conditions with
real-time insights for optimization and reliability. This platform
analyzes data across a wide range of applications to enable
flexible monitoring and system optimization. Additionally, the
user-friendly interface offers a complete view of equipment health
and operation, making it easy to integrate external data for
sharing information to other systems.
“Through continuous data collection and analytics combined with
the future of artificial intelligence and machine learning,
aicoreTM optimizes resource consumption, reduces maintenance
efforts and lowers operating costs,” said Joerg Koecher, Güntner’s
Chief Digital Officer and Head of IoT Controls Solutions. “In light
of the growing challenges posed by a shortage of qualified skilled
workers, aicoreTM offers a future-proof solution to meet these
ongoing needs. These capabilities will be crucial for the overall
success of our customers, contractors and end-users.”
