Jakarta, INTI - The rapid acceleration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven digital transformation is reshaping industries worldwide. However, behind the fast-growing adoption of AI lies a critical foundation that is often overlooked: network and electrical infrastructure. Addressing this challenge, Panduit, a global leader in electrical and network infrastructure solutions, officially held Panduit Technology Day in Indonesia.
The event was designed to help industry players understand how modern infrastructure must evolve to support AI workloads, rising power demands, and large-scale connectivity requirements. Panduit Technology Day also served as a collaborative platform for IT professionals, consultants, business partners, and technology practitioners from various sectors across Indonesia.
The rise of AI is not only transforming software and applications, but also redefining how data centers, smart buildings, industrial facilities, and enterprise networks are designed. Traditional infrastructure is increasingly viewed as insufficient to support the high-performance computing demands required by AI technologies.
According to Grand View Research, global AI adoption is growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 40 percent, reflecting a massive acceleration that will directly impact digital infrastructure needs worldwide, including in Indonesia.
“AI is transforming how organizations operate. Companies in Indonesia need to recognize that AI has revolutionized efficiency across sectors, including automated warehouses and smart buildings,” said Simin Sirun.
He added that infrastructure plays a critical role in ensuring AI implementation remains efficient, secure, and sustainable.
During Panduit Technology Day, the company highlighted three key infrastructure domains that form the backbone of modern digital environments: electrical infrastructure, enterprise networking, and data center networking.
Panduit Highlights Power and Enterprise Network Readiness
One of the primary focuses was the importance of reliable electrical systems within grey space areas, which support core operations in data center and industrial facilities. Panduit discussed best practices related to grounding and bonding, H-Tap connections, cable management systems, as well as installation safety and compliance. These aspects are becoming increasingly important as AI and intensive computing workloads require stable power supplies and more precise protection systems.
The company also emphasized the growing need for flexible enterprise networking and edge computing infrastructure. Topics included extended reach technology capable of exceeding the standard 100-meter connectivity limit, high-performance copper cabling, intelligent cabinet design, efficient power distribution, and network consistency for modern office environments. These solutions are considered essential for organizations aiming to improve operational efficiency without undertaking large-scale infrastructure overhauls.
AI-Ready Data Centers Become Critical for Indonesia’s Digital Future
Another major focus was AI-ready data center infrastructure, particularly in response to the rising demand for AI computing and GPU-based workloads. Panduit showcased solutions such as structured cable routing systems, high-density fiber management, pre-terminated connectivity, and scalable architectures designed to support rapid expansion. Such designs enable data centers to better accommodate AI, machine learning, and real-time analytics applications.
Kevin Choong stated that Indonesia is currently entering a critical phase of digital transformation. Many organizations are adopting AI for automation, data analytics, customer services, and operational management. However, without the right infrastructure foundation, AI implementation may fail to achieve optimal results.
“We believe infrastructure readiness must begin from the most fundamental layer, not simply by purchasing AI software or adding servers. Power stability, cooling systems, cabling, and connectivity are all critical factors for long-term success,” Kevin explained.
Through Panduit Technology Day, participants were invited to explore how global companies are preparing durable and efficient digital ecosystems. In addition to discussion sessions, the event also featured interactive solution showcases, allowing attendees to directly observe Panduit technologies in real-world enterprise, manufacturing, and modern data center scenarios.
The event demonstrated Panduit’s commitment to delivering end-to-end infrastructure solutions designed to meet future technological demands. The focus extends beyond supporting today’s digital transformation to ensuring long-term operational resilience.
Panduit Technology Day ultimately underscored that the AI era is not solely about intelligent software, but also about the readiness of the infrastructure systems operating behind the scenes.
Conclusion
Panduit Technology Day highlighted the growing importance of resilient and scalable infrastructure in supporting the next phase of AI-driven digital transformation. As AI adoption accelerates across industries, reliable power systems, advanced networking, and AI-ready data centers are becoming essential foundations for long-term operational efficiency and sustainable digital growth in Indonesia.
