Datacentre Solutions featured OpenSpace CEO Jeevan Kalanithi in a video interview exploring how “visual intelligence” is becoming a foundational layer of infrastructure for how large projects get built. Kalanithi outlines how OpenSpace has evolved from a jobsite documentation tool into a platform now embedded in the day-to-day operations of major global construction projects, with momentum accelerating as AI-driven demand fuels the current data centre building boom.
The data centre sector is expanding at a pace few industries have seen, and pressure to deliver projects faster with greater transparency has never been higher. OpenSpace provides the visual layer that makes this possible. By capturing continuous 360° documentation of every corner of a jobsite, OpenSpace creates a shared, searchable record of what is actually being built, accessible to everyone from the site team to the executive suite. For data centre owners and general contractors managing builds across multiple regions simultaneously, this kind of visibility is essential. Schedule slippage, quality issues, and miscommunication all become visible before they become costly. The Datacentre Solutions interview offers a clear view of how OpenSpace’s CEO thinks about this shift, and why visual intelligence is no longer optional on complex infrastructure projects.
As AI continues to drive unprecedented demand for data centre capacity, the construction industry is under pressure to build faster than ever while maintaining the quality and accountability these critical facilities require. OpenSpace is already embedded in more than 1,000 data centre projects globally, giving teams a continuous visual record of progress, issues, and decisions across the entire project lifecycle. The result is a fundamentally different way of managing complex builds. Every stakeholder, regardless of location, can see exactly what is happening on site at any point in time. For teams working on data centre construction, that shared visibility is what separates a project that delivers on time from one that does not.
