For years, building a reliable cooling control system for a data center meant assembling a patchwork of PLCs, gateways, and HMI panels: each one a potential failure point, each one adding weeks of deployment. Unitronics set out to change that with the UniStream Solution for Data Center. A single PLC+HMI that handles everything: control, I/O, communication, visualization, diagnostics, and central monitoring, out of the box.
Automation engineers who specify, design, and build data center cooling solutions have now voted UniStream the Gold Winner in the Control Engineering Product of the Year Award. The votes came from qualified engineers and automation professionals who are involved in industrial control systems every day.
The Architecture
The UniStream Solution for Data Center cooling was designed from the ground up for the unique demands of data center environments. Every component, protocol, and certification was chosen to meet the requirements OEM’s engineers actually face. It is equipped with native Redfish and IPv6 support for direct integration with data center management systems and full OCP profile compliance. The system is pre-licensed with BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, REST API, and OPC-UA. No add-ons, external gateways or custom developments outside the controller are necessary.
The Data Centre solution provides built-in N+1 redundancy support and master-slave group functionality, ensuring continuous cooling for mission-critical failover without the need for operator intervention. It comes with ISO 27001 certified cybersecurity and built-in remote access via integrated Web Server and VNC and is perfectly designed for in-rack and In-raw CDUs, CRAC/CRAH, RDHx, chillers, immersion cooling, and air handling units.
Availability
The UniStream Solution for Data Center is available now in two configurations — DCB-CDU-US7-01 and DCB-CDU-USC-01 — each integrated and ready for deployment, with all required hardware, communication modules, and software licenses included.

Amit Harari, CEO of Unitronics commented on the award: "This Gold win is not just an award — it is market confirmation that data center engineers are choosing a new standard. One controller, complete control, built for the complexity of modern data centers."
