Omen AI acquires Aquatic Labs for $16 million to complete its water quality sensor technology
Omen AI has acquired competitor Aquatic Labs for $16 million in cash and stock, combining the latter's alkalinity detection technology with its own elemental detection sensors into a real-time water quality sensor expected to launch early next year. Omen just closed a $31 million Series A round in June this year; its sensors will monitor chips with 250 to 300 MW of power by the end of the year, with a goal of covering the equivalent of 1 GW of chips by the end of 2027. U.S. data centers use 17 to 19 billion gallons of water each year to cool chips, and real-time monitoring can extend the service life of coolant and reduce downtime and water replacement costs.
