As high-density and high-voltage infrastructure scale, the partnership connects hazardous energy execution to live operational intelligence, eliminating the most dangerous handoff in AI/HPC facilities.
Richmond, VA – (March 18, 2026) — Today, MCIM, the leading operational intelligence platform for mission-critical environments, announced a strategic partnership with autoLOTO, the leading digital Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) solution provider.
With AI/HPC facilities redefining the operational risk profile of modern data centers, a single procedural mistake during hazardous energy isolation can damage high-density environments, disrupt uptime, jeopardize SLAs, and put human operators at risk. Electrical injuries and arc flash events can regularly exceed $1 million per injury.
This partnership has created the first continuous digital governance layer that connects hazardous energy execution during construction and commissioning directly to structured operational intelligence in live AI/HPC environments.
Eliminating Handoff Gaps That Put People and Uptime at Risk
As AI/HPC facilities move from build to live operations, safety execution data often stops at the commissioning phase. Lockout/tagout procedures are documented, assets are verified, and compliance is confirmed – but that information rarely feeds directly into the operational systems responsible for maintenance, incident response, and capital planning.
- autoLOTO ensures hazardous energy control is executed accurately and digitally verified in these environments.
- MCIM ensures that verified execution becomes part of a structured operational framework.
- Together, this enables traceability, audit defensibility, workflow governance, and executive visibility across the portfolio.
“In AI/HPC infrastructure, safety decisions made during construction have long-term operational consequences,” said Russell Lidie, Chief Revenue Officer at autoLOTO. “Integrating autoLOTO with MCIM ensures verified hazardous energy management becomes part of the operational foundation on day one.”
“AI/HPC operators are scaling faster than traditional operating models were built to support,” said Monty Blight, Executive Director of Partnerships and Growth at MCIM. “By aligning digital LOTO execution with structured operational intelligence, we’re strengthening the governance layer that high-density infrastructure requires.”
Together, MCIM and autoLOTO eliminate the blind spots created when systems operate in parallel:
- Asset data remains intact across handoff
- Compliance workflows inherit verified execution records
- Governance is maintained without manual reconstruction.
For AI/HPC operators, this partnership tightens control where the margin for error is smallest — at high voltage, high density, and high speed.
Strengthening the AI/HPC Partner Ecosystem
MCIM’s partnership with autoLOTO builds on the company’s broader partner ecosystem, including its recent partnership with Salute, a global leader in integrated lifecycle data center services.
Together, these partnerships reflect a deliberate strategy to mature the governance model of AI/HPC infrastructure — integrating construction safety, live operational oversight, and portfolio intelligence into a unified operating framework designed for density and scale.
About MCIM
MCIM is the operational intelligence platform built to make every center stronger, including the world’s most demanding AI/HPC environments.
As infrastructure scales to support high-density, liquid-cooled workloads, operational complexity increases across power, cooling, and converging IT/OT/IoT systems, where small execution gaps can carry significant cost. MCIM unifies asset management, work management, compliance, and real-time analytics into a single operational model, enabling teams to execute consistently and make decisions with confidence.
Trusted by 3 of the top 4 colocation providers and 8 of the top 10 global banks, MCIM manages more than 7 GW of IT capacity and over 1.7 million assets across 100+ countries.
