Automating Data Centers Securely and Efficiently with WAGO

The technical services for buildings (TBS for short) has become increasingly important in recent years – particularly for data centers, as these represent an essential element of the digital infrastructure. For data centers to operate smoothly, the general conditions, such as the air conditioning in the server rooms, must be right. This is where TOBOL comes into play – with WAGO at its side.

TOBOL – headquartered in Leinefeld-Worbis, Thuringia – specializes in customized ICA technology and building automation. TOBOL offers its customers, who are mainly from the commercial and industrial sectors, everything from a single source: from analysis to project planning, programming and switchgear construction to service and maintenance. TOBOL is also a proven expert in automating data center infrastructure. More than two-thirds of the switchgear is used in data centers – both in numerous new constructions in Germany and other projects in Europe. TOBOL relies on WAGO rail-mount terminal blocks and WAGO controllers because they are low maintenance, reliable and flexible, among other things.

The Entire Technical Infrastructure for Data Centers from a Single Source

TOBOL's automation technology is optimally adapted to the needs of high-availability data center operation and designed for reliable and efficient continuous operation, including the integration, interaction and monitoring of the entire technical infrastructure. In TOBOL’s systems, all of the functions necessary for the secure and efficient operation of a data center are united in one automation system. That ranges from efficient cooling control (as necessary) to energy data acquisition and monitoring, as well as fault alarm recording, and air conditioning (including humidification and dehumidification) of the server rooms.

A Long-Term and Successful Partnership in Switchgear Construction

Another important factor in the implementation of projects: a reliable partner at your side like WAGO. TOBOL has relied on WAGO rail-mounted terminal blocks for switchgear construction since its founding in 1997. In addition, they have also been using WAGO automation solutions, such as the WAGO I/O System 750 Controller, for ten years – a long-term partnership. The customer and their wishes are always the focus at TOBOL and WAGO: both offer customized solutions for their customers with their flexible range of products.

Apart from their products, the customer service provided by the WAGO Sales Department is also a critical factor for the many years of successful cooperation. “We especially appreciate the strong customer loyalty by the WAGO Sales staff, who are important partners here on site,” emphasizes Olaf Beykirch, Managing Director of TOBOL.

TOBOL Relies on WAGO Rail-Mount Terminal Blocks and WAGO Controllers

“Initially, it was the low maintenance requirements that won us over. With WAGO rail-mounted terminal blocks, there are no screws to tighten, which creates significant time savings throughout the entire process of switchgear construction. This was one of the primary benefits that led us to choose WAGO back in 1997,” reports Chris Heinemann, Managing Director of TOBOL. Another major advantage: The compactness and the resulting space savings. Since high-density wiring in the control cabinet is increasing, it is not something to overlook.
