DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 29, 2024 - Recently, Güntner (www.guntner.com), the global market leader in innovative heat exchange solutions, proudly announces the launch of its new future-proof product range of data-driven controllers and solutions, aicore™.
The new product offering leverages a versatile, data-driven strategy to optimize energy efficiency, enhance system reliability and provide analysis and monitoring. The name (pronounced "i-core"), brings together the future of artificial intelligence (ai) and 'core', which reflects the central nervous system or 'core' of these products.
The aicore™ range includes the current next-generation controllers aicore™ air (previously GMMnext EC) and aicore™ hydro (previously GHMnext Pad). Also introducing the latest in cooling technology controls, aicore™ fusion merges the already existing aicore™ air & hydro hydroBLU™ control systems while expanding capability even further as a single controls solution for complete adiabatic operation. This complete product range can be paired with Güntner's latest IoT and analytics platform aicore™ cloud for a 360 degree view of operations and conditions with real-time insights for optimization and reliability.
"We are transitioning between independent, robust, functional controllers, to a whole integrated system of controllers, that communicate between each other, that are upgradeable and that even provide data analysis, monitoring services. With automatic maintenance on Güntner's roadmap."
ERIKA CARVAJAL, BRAND STRATEGY MANAGER, GÜNTNER
Joerg Koecher, Chief Digital Officer and Head of IoT Controls Solutions is committed to harnessing the power of new IoT technologies. The new aicore™ range builds on and uses these new technologies. Through continuous data collection and analytics, as well as the future of artificial intelligence and machine learning, aicore™ optimizes resource consumption, reduces maintenance effort and minimizes operating costs. With the growing challenges related to lack of qualified skilled workers, aicore™ provides a future-proof solution to address these needs that we continue to face each day. These opportunities will be key for our customers, contractors and end-users overall business success.

The new aicore fusion™
The one stop complete solution for EC fans and adiabatic operation (hydroBLU) incorporates the high efficiency energy management of the aicore™ air and merges Güntner´s proprietary exact water algorithm for the most optimal and minimized water usage, based on customers' applications. Combining these two flagship control algorithms provides a complete energy and water resource solution, focused on delivery energy and water savings throughout the product lifecycle.
aicore™ air
The future of controllers for Güntner, primarily focusing to provide cooling to the water or refrigerant medium by synchronously ramping EC fans. Combined with advanced features around precision cooling, this guarantees the most exact energy efficient control to maintain the desired outlet temperature or inlet pressure for coolers and condensers.
In line with Güntner's 2030 sustainability pledges (to reduce water intensity by 30%, energy by 10% and carbon intensity by 40% across our manufacturing facilities by 2030), the aicore™ controllers provide greater precision and efficiency than ever before helping to fulfil several of our commitments. aicore™ fusion constantly monitors the load on the system as well as the ambient conditions to calculate the exact amount of water to provide essential cooling, while also minimizing resource (water and energy) waste.
