WE MUST STAND FOR SAFETY TOGETHER, SAYS FIRE AWARE G


rowing fire safety organisation, Fire Aware, has reminded the fire safety industry and


related sectors: “We’re all in this together, so let’s collaborate.” Fire Aware CEO Gavin Skelly gave a


reminder of the importance of working closely in the supply chains in the post-Grenfell era as the legal process in the aftermath continues to its conclusion. Gavin Skelly said: “We have listened to the calls


from the inquiry into Grenfell and the subsequent fall-out and we are all acutely aware of not getting fire safety right. Let’s start to collaborate and make sure we are all doing our job to ensure this never happens again. “The challenges of the new legislation and


the Building Safety Act are sometimes quite complex and challenging for everyone but not insurmountable if we share issues and find solutions. “There is a need to commit to best practice beyond the legislation itself, and once a company


or an individual does that then everything changes. We are here to protect the public as they move about in our towns and cities. They have a right to feel safe, and we all have a responsibility. This is a vocation, not just another job.” Skelly highlighted Fire Aware’s own Code of


Conduct and specific charters which make specific demands across all specialisms for all members who join. Dame Judith Hackitt, who led the Grenfell


Inquiry, has called for cultural change through moral and ethical behaviours, recently supported by the new independent Building Safety Regulator (BSR) which has been created to ‘promote competence and higher standards’. Skelly said all of those involved in the design,


construction, management, maintenance and letting of the built environment need to understand that they have an obligation to fire safety even if their business is not directly connected with fire specialisms.

MOLEX INVESTS IN CAEPLUS TO ADVANCE THERMAL MANAGEMENT WITH ACTIVE LIQUID COOLING SOLUTIONS FOR AI DATA CENTRES M


olex, announced a strategic investment in CAEPlus, Inc., an early-stage company


focused on the development of active liquid cooling technology designed to help data centres manage increasing heat loads driven by AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads. This investment advances Molex’s Data Centre


Thermal Management strategy by accelerating the innovation of CAEPlus’ BoundaryCool platform, a


compact, active cooling architecture that addresses next gen GPU/ASIC thermal challenges. “Advanced thermal management is becoming a


critical enabler for the next wave of compute performance,” said Jairo Guerrero, VP and GM, Copper Solutions Business, Molex. “Our strategic investment in CAEPlus reflects Molex’s commitment to supporting innovations in liquid cooling while working with emerging technology


leaders to help customers address rapidly evolving AI and compute-intensive data centre requirements.” The strategic collaboration will support


continued advancements across the BoundaryCool platform, engineered to deliver significantly higher heat transfer performance and greater reductions in CPU/GPU/TPU chip temperatures compared to passive cold plate solutions while remaining compatible with legacy data centre architectures. “CAEPlus was founded to address the rapid


pace of change in data centre cooling requirements by enabling an entirely new class of active liquid cooling solutions,” said Milad Bashirzadeh, Founder and CEO, CAEPlus, Inc. “In addition to its investment, Molex brings deep engineering expertise and a strong track record of helping scale innovative technologies. We are excited to work together in advancing our proprietary cooling technology and meet unrelenting industry requirements for higher levels of performance and efficiency.” The addition of CAEPlus technology to Molex’s


comprehensive thermal management portfolio offers data centre customers a broader range of solutions engineered to address the most demanding computing requirements. As part of the agreement, Molex retains exclusive licensing to apply CAEPlus technology to the Molex portfolio of pluggable I/O solutions. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
