Southwire Company LLC, North America's leading wire and cable manufacturer, has announced a strategic investment in Verdigris Technologies, an AI-native electrical intelligence company focused on AI-scale data center infrastructure. The investment reflects Southwire's commitment to advancing power delivery for next-generation computing environments.

Why it matters

As AI workloads push unprecedented power density in modern data centers, operators face rising risks in reliability and usable capacity. Verdigris' high-frequency sensing platform is built to provide real-time visibility into electrical behavior, enabling safer compute expansion and improved efficiency.

The details

Verdigris delivers a cloud‑first platform that captures high-frequency electrical data at the circuit level, with sensors that install inside existing electrical panels and sample thousands of times per second. This provides sub‑second visibility into load behavior, power quality and early fault conditions. As part of the partnership, Southwire and Verdigris are working to integrate AI-native electrical intelligence into select Southwire offerings.
