POWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF VIDIA AI FACTORIES WITH MGX
A
s AI workloads accelerate, the shift toward AI factories is driving unprecedented rack-level power density. At the centre of this transition is NVIDIA MGX, an open modular architecture
that enables faster system design, improved scalability and rapid deployment of next- generation AI infrastructure. As a valued member of the MGX ecosystem,
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) is working alongside NVIDIA to help enable this transformation, delivering the power technologies required to support increasingly demanding AI factory deployments.
THE SHIFT TO 800VDC: ENABLING AI FACTORY SCALE As AI factories push for ever-higher performance, traditional 48V architectures can no longer sustain the power demands of modern GPU clusters. To keep performance scaling, MGX-based AI factories are moving to 800VDC rack-level architectures, which reduce current and power losses, enable more
compact distribution and support scalable designs targeting megawatt-class racks. This shift in power architecture is foundational for future NVIDIA platforms where continued performance gains depend directly on power delivery efficiency.
MGX AND MODULAR POWER ARCHITECTURE The open, modular nature of MGX extends beyond compute into power delivery. New architectures are increasingly disaggregating power from the compute rack, enabling: • Flexible system configurations aligned with evolving GPU platforms
• Faster adoption of new technologies across the ecosystem
• Optimised use of rack space for compute
800VDC HOT SWAP: ENABLING ALWAYS- ON AI INFRASTRUCTURE AI factories operate continuously, making live serviceability essential. Hot swap controllers play a critical role by enabling safe insertion and removal of server trays without interrupting operation. At 800VDC, this introduces new challenges, including: • Precise control of high-energy inrush currents
• Robust fault detection and system pro-
ARROW ELECTRONICS LAUNCHES FACTORY AUTOMATION RESOURCE HUB TO SUPPORT NEXT-GENERATION INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS
A
rrow Electronics has launched a new factory automation resource hub designed to support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators and engineering
teams developing next-generation industrial systems. To help customers navigate this
complexity, Arrow has developed a comprehensive suite of technical resources focused on machine vision and motor control - two critical pillars of modern automation systems. The online hub includes a range of in-depth content, including whitepapers, webinars, on- demand event sessions and additional resources covering intelligent sensing, motion systems and real-time automation design. As manufacturers accelerate the transition to Industry 4.0, production
environments are becoming increasingly connected, data-driven and complex. Integrating machine vision, motion control, sensing and connectivity into cohesive systems presents growing challenges around synchronisation, real-time performance and scalability. “Insights from our recent Factory
Automation Summit highlighted that system failures are most likely to occur at integration points rather than within individual subsystems, while deterministic communication is essential to achieving real-time performance”, said Morten Block, Global Engineering Director, segments and technology go-to-market, Arrow Electronics. “The discussions also underscored that although AI adoption is increasing in targeted applications, scaling remains complex, and that trade-offs across sensing, control and connectivity can significantly impact overall system
behaviour.” Arrow’s global business support for
factory automation combines system- level architecture expertise with validated components, engineering support and lifecycle management services. This helps customers accelerate development, reduce integration complexity, and scale automation systems more reliably from design through deployment.
