Since 2017, Ecocentric’s financial statements have been audited by global accounting firm BDO. Being subject to an independent audit provides further confidence to our shareholders, customers and other partners regarding Bamboo’s financial reports, the appropriateness of accounting policies, and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. In 2024, Bamboo has reengaged…

Industry 5.0 is ushering in a new era for data centre operations, where cutting-edge technology meets human expertise to create smarter, more sustainable infrastructures. Unlike Industry 4.0, which focused on automation and digitalisation, Industry 5.0 emphasises a dynamic collaboration between humans and machines. AI and robotics work side by side with human operators to enhance…

The link between bad maintenance and increased energy consumption of electrical assets is an important one to understand, as it can have a significant impact on the cost and efficiency of running a facility or business. When electrical assets are not properly maintained, they tend to operate at less than optimal levels. This can cause…

Predictive maintenance is a proactive approach to maintaining industrial electrical assets that involves using advanced technologies, such as machine learning (a form of Artificial Intelligence), to predict when a piece of equipment is likely to fail. This allows maintenance teams to address problems before they occur, rather than waiting for scheduled maintenance or for the…

Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) is a key metric in driving data centre efficiency and sustainability. PUE measures the amount of power used by a data centre relative to the amount of power used by the IT equipment it contains. The lower the PUE, the more energy efficient the data centre is considered to be. Asset…

It could be argued that never before in our global history has there been so many Governments, organisations, businesses and individuals invested in developing sustainable energy solutions, as there is right now. While the continued push toward Net Zero by 2050 is a key motivator, so too is the global energy crisis, which is continuing…

Digital transformation is revolutionising the way data centres operate and manage their infrastructure. One critical aspect of this transformation is the use of advanced electrical monitoring systems such as Numen. Numen enables data centres to optimise their energy efficiency and minimise downtime. One of the key benefits of electrical monitoring systems is their ability to…

As technology continues to advance, more and more industries are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their operations. One area where AI is making a significant impact is in electrical asset condition monitoring. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the benefits of using AI-based systems for monitoring the condition of electrical…
