Omen AI adds liquid know-how in $16 million Aquatic Labs acquisition
The combined sensor is expected on the market early next year, giving data centers a fuller view of their cooling fluid.
Omen’s sensors detect elements in water; Aquatic Labs’ technology measures alkalinity. The $16 million cash-and-stock deal brings Aquatic CEO Allan Adams into Omen as chief science officer. The teams are integrating their technology to replace lab tests that take days with real-time monitoring. Catching fluid problems could help operators reuse cooling water longer and avoid costly shutdowns to drain and restore their systems.
