Case Study: ZutaCore
Revolutionizing Sustainable Data Center Cooling with AI-Driven Engineering
About ZutaCore
ZutaCore is a leader in waterless, direct-to-chip liquid cooling solutions designed for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads. Their flagship HyperCool technology utilizes a two-phase boiling and condensation process to remove heat directly from processors, eliminating the need for water while reducing energy consumption by up to 82%. By enabling higher compute density and sustainable operations, ZutaCore helps organizations scale AI capacity while meeting environmental goals.
The Challenge: Reducing Engineering Overhead in Custom Systems
As ZutaCore scales its cooling solutions for diverse AI factories and data centers, they faced a recurring engineering hurdle: piping adjustments. Every project required custom pipe configurations to fit specific system requirements. This constant need for manual adjustment consumed significant engineering time and increased the complexity of manufacturing, as engineers had to design and refine pipes for every new installation.
The Solution: Creative Engineering with Leo AI
The Impact: Quantifiable ROI and Efficiency
The implementation of Leo’s AI-driven designs has resulted in significant financial and operational savings for ZutaCore:
$400 Savings Per Unit: By moving to a standardized, adjustable pipe solution using simple parts, ZutaCore saved 100 per piece. With four pieces required for every system, the company achieved a $400 cost reduction per unit.
Workforce Optimization: The transition to an adjustable solution completely eliminated the manual pipe-adjustment phase of new projects. This effectively saved the project time of one full-time engineer, allowing that human capital to be redirected toward higher-level innovation.
Increased Speed to Market: By utilizing accessible parts and "time of thinking" provided by Leo, ZutaCore has increased its efficiency in project execution and calculation accuracy.
Conclusion
By partnering with Leo, ZutaCore has successfully applied AI not just to the software of their business, but to the fundamental mechanical engineering of their cooling hardware. This collaboration has allowed ZutaCore to maintain its position at the cutting edge of sustainable AI infrastructure while driving down manufacturing costs and maximizing engineering talent.
