Remove design errors before construction starts,
and save the cost of rework

KONST uses NVIDIA Omniverse to turn design drawings into a one-to-one three-dimensional model. Before construction starts, we verify space, heat flow, hydraulics, power redundancy, and network architecture, and deliver a design that construction can be based on, together with a list of problems resolved before construction. The model is the single source of truth, and every design change is verified against the same model.

PROBLEM | Problems customers face

Errors in a high-density data center only show up after power-on

Traditional data center design experience mostly comes from low power density loads. When it is applied to GPUs at tens of kilowatts per rack, hot spots, airflow short-circuiting, and power distribution problems often appear only after power-on, and fixing them costs far more than adjusting before construction.

SOLUTION | KONST's approach

Design, delivery, and operations as one complete process

The model is not a one-time acceptance document. Before construction it is used to verify the design, at handover it is calibrated to match the site, and after go-live it is connected to operating data and keeps answering capacity questions.

  1. Problem

    Design complete, not yet awarded to a contractor

    Verification has the widest coverage, because space, heat flow, hydraulics, and network can all still be changed on the drawings.

    Problem

    Contract awarded, equipment not yet on site

    Rerun the simulation with the equipment models actually ordered, and correct the rack layout and piping before the equipment arrives on site.

    Problem

    Existing data center retrofit

    Load capacity, floor height, incoming power capacity, and existing on-site piping are all fixed conditions. Running the model first shows the upper limit of what the retrofit can do.

    Solution

    Design verification

    At the drawing stage, we resolve spatial clashes, hot spots, hydraulic imbalance, and power redundancy problems, and deliver verification results that construction can be based on.

  2. Problem

    Equipment on site, not yet powered on

    Compare the model with the actual layout, find the differences between simulation and site, and resolve them before power-on.

    Solution

    Handover calibration

    After power-on, the model's behavior is tuned to match the actual data center, and from then on the model is the reference baseline for the site.

  3. SolutionExtension

    Operations optimization

    The model is connected to operating data and updated continuously, so capacity and layout decisions are based on actual conditions rather than design assumptions.

BENEFIT | Benefits

After go-live,
the model changes from a verification tool to an operations tool

Once the model is updated in sync with the actual data center, the digital twin can be calibrated with digital information in real time. Later expansion planning, asset inventory, and failure assessment can then all be done on this same calibrated model.

Shorten the time from equipment to usable compute

The model stays in sync with telemetry, assets, and existing tools, so it is always current and verification before deployment does not require rebuilding the model.

Find gaps and errors in asset data

Once data is consolidated into one model, fields that are unmaintained, duplicated, or inconsistent with the site show up immediately, and the accuracy of asset records improves.

Consolidate data spread across systems

Data from MEP monitoring, power management, and asset management is brought onto one platform for analysis, and cross-department changes and reviews happen on the same model.

FAQ | Common questions

FAQ

We already have design drawings. Do we still need digital twin verification?
Design drawings answer "what should be built." Simulation answers "will there be problems if it is built this way." Heat flow, hydraulic balance, and clashes in a high-density data center cannot be judged from flat plans, so they need a three-dimensional model combined with physical simulation. The more complete the drawings, the more specific the verification feedback.
What data do we need to provide to use a digital twin?
The required data includes building and MEP design drawings, the equipment list with power and cooling parameters, rack layout and power planning, and the network topology. The more complete the data, the closer the model matches the real facility. Missing items can first be estimated with assumed values, but the scope in which the verification conclusions apply is marked alongside.
If the design changes midway, does the verification need to be rerun?
Every design change is verified on the same model, and versions and change records are traceable.
Our data center is already running. Can we still do a digital twin?
Yes. Once an operating data center is modeled and connected to actual power and environmental data, it can be used for capacity review, simulation before new equipment is racked, and failure scenario analysis. This is a different use from design verification before construction.
