How Concentric is Powering the Future of Facility Operations

Facility leaders are the unsung heroes of America’s infrastructure. From warehouses and manufacturing plants to data centers and utilities, these leaders ensure that operations run smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Yet, today’s environment is defined by VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity), and power challenges are at the center of it all.

Why Power Matters More Than Ever

Energy demands are skyrocketing across industries:

• Data centers and communication hubs struggle with escalating computing, cooling, and space requirements.

• Warehouses face surging throughput driven by e-commerce, requiring automation and electrified fleets.

• Utilities must balance clean energy adoption with the massive loads AI computing and EV electrification will place on the grid. EV electrification will place on the grid.

These converging challenges demand resilient, distributed, and sustainable power solutions, and that’s where Concentric steps in.

The Facility Power Problem

At the site level, power systems are under pressure like never before:

• Increased energy consumption from forklifts, automation equipment, and servers.

• 24/7 operational requirements that strain backup systems.

• The need for decarbonization while maintaining uptime and cost efficiency.

Concentric’s mission is clear: solve the facility power problem with innovative, integrated solutions.
