The AI revolution is driving an unprecedented expansion of physical infrastructure, including data centers. The high demand for AI-driven compute capacity requires data centers to operate with unwavering reliability, creating a booming market for AI-adjacent businesses that support this growth.
Recognizing this critical and rapidly accelerating demand, KROHNE, a global leader in process instrumentation with over a century of industrial experience, has made a significant strategic commitment to the rapidly growing U.S. data center sector. This move positions KROHNE to support the rapid increase in infrastructure needed for AI enablement. AI data centers require robust, precise, and dependable cooling infrastructure, especially for high-compute AI chipsets that generate immense heat.
KROHNE is dedicating a substantial portion of its annual production capacity to meet this escalating need. Their magnetic flow meters, or magmeters, are integral to chilled water applications, which are crucial for cooling processors and ensuring the stability of technology operations.
What sets KROHNE apart is its deeply ingrained ‘born reliable, built to last’ philosophy.
Drawing on a century-long legacy of challenging industrial process environments, such as chemical and wastewater facilities, KROHNE engineers products designed to last 20 to 30 years. Utilizing industrial-grade materials such as stainless steel and carbon steel, their products offer a distinct advantage over typical commercial-grade components. This pedigree ensures the accuracy and robustness critical for data center uptime, where precise flow measurement directly impacts operational efficiency and supports crucial cooling infrastructure. By providing robust, precise, and rapidly deployable flow measurement solutions, KROHNE ensures that its products will never be the reason America’s bold vision for AI leadership and enablement is delayed.
“America is in a race to be the global leader in AI solutions, and one of the biggest obstacles to winning that race is delays in speed-to-market timelines. KROHNE is directly addressing this by committing to shorter lead times for most projects for U.S. customers, supporting rapid construction and expansion.” – Rich Hendgen, CEO of KROHNE America
Final assembly for these critical instruments takes place at KROHNE’s facility in Beverly, Massachusetts, ensuring dedicated support and responsiveness to North American requirements. This strategic investment aims to accelerate construction timelines without compromising on measurement integrity, focusing on North America, identified as the most explosive marketplace for data centers globally.
KROHNE is actively engaging with key industry stakeholders—data center owners, engineering firms, system integrators, and OEMs—to ensure its flow measurement solutions are recognized as foundational for mission-critical cooling.
