Lucend, formerly known as Coolgradient, provides AI-powered optimization for data centers. Its platform analyzes sensor data from existing building management, data center infrastructure management, and SCADA systems to reveal operational inefficiencies and emerging equipment issues. Rather than adding hardware or automating changes, Lucend turns millions of daily readings into a clear intelligence briefing with specific, data-backed recommendations that operators can review and choose whether to implement.

The platform identifies symptoms, explains their likely causes with verifiable data trails, and estimates the impact of recommended actions. Its services support energy efficiency, PUE reduction, predictive anomaly detection, prescriptive maintenance, and asset life extension. Lucend also helps operators track projected and realized savings, generate method-of-procedure documents, and connect recommendations with IT service management and asset management workflows.

Designed to work with existing infrastructure and procedures, Lucend requires no new sensors or capital equipment. The company says customers can receive actionable recommendations within six weeks, with approximately one hour of team training.
