Connect data center design intent to live operations
ArchiLabs helps teams plan and validate critical-facility layouts. Modius OpenData brings together real-time intelligence across assets, power, cooling, and network systems. Used together, they can create a more continuous path from design through operations.
Capture the design basis, asset requirements, capacity targets, and rules.
02
Design
Generate layouts, place smart components, and validate the proposed facility.
03
Connect
Map approved asset and capacity data into the operational system of record.
04
Operate
Use live infrastructure data to manage performance and inform the next change.
Two complementary systems
One lifecycle, from planned state to operating state
ArchiLabs focuses on spatial design, repeatable automation, and delivery context. Modius OpenData focuses on the real-time infrastructure intelligence needed to run critical facilities. A defined data handoff can connect the two.
ArchiLabs · Design and delivery
Create structured facility intent
Model data hall layouts, place equipment, capture metadata, test power and cooling assumptions, run project-specific checks, and generate documentation or structured exports for handoff.
Layout and scenario generation
Smart components and facility metadata
Capacity, clearance, and rule validation
Modius OpenData · Operations
Turn infrastructure data into action
Unify operational and IT information across assets, power, cooling, environmental, and network systems, with modules for monitoring, analytics, planning, workflows, and third-party API connections.
A practical path from concept to continuous improvement
The integration can begin with one facility and a focused data contract, then expand as teams align identifiers, ownership, update cadence, and operational processes.
01
Define
Capture the design basis, asset requirements, capacity targets, and rules.
02
Design
Generate layouts, place smart components, and validate the proposed facility.
03
Connect
Map approved asset and capacity data into the operational system of record.
04
Operate
Use live infrastructure data to manage performance and inform the next change.
Integration details—including the source of truth for each field, API endpoints, update cadence, and approval workflow—are configured for each organization and the OpenData modules it uses.
Integration shape
Connect the context that matters
The goal is not to move every field between platforms. It is to preserve the identifiers, assumptions, and decisions that make design and operational data useful on both sides of the handoff.
Assets and topology
Equipment identifiers, types, rack positions, spatial context, connections, and system relationships.
Capacity assumptions
Planned power loads, cooling zones, density targets, redundancy requirements, and reserved capacity.
Change context
Proposed versus installed records, project phases, asset moves, validation results, and approval status.
Where the workflow fits
Start with a high-value facility change
01
New data center delivery
Carry structured equipment and capacity context from early layout studies through commissioning and operational onboarding.
02
Expansion and refresh projects
Use current facility constraints to plan new racks, power, cooling, and support infrastructure with fewer hand-built data transfers.
03
Continuous capacity planning
Compare planned demand with operating conditions, test scenarios, and keep future design decisions tied to real facility context.
The value of continuity
Design teams retain operational context, while facility teams receive structured project information they can evaluate and incorporate into their workflows.
A clearer handoff between project delivery and facility operations
Less manual re-entry of asset, layout, and capacity information
Traceable assumptions from a proposed layout to an operating environment
A repeatable path for expansions, moves, additions, and changes
Plan the first workflow
Bring design automation and operational intelligence into one conversation
Start with one facility, one change process, and the data your teams currently re-enter by hand. We can map a practical ArchiLabs and Modius workflow from there.
