NOARK Combines Global Scale with Local Execution for Data Center Power Infrastructure

As data center projects accelerate across North America, NOARK combines global engineering, diversified supply, North American compliance expertise, and localized assembly and service to address customers' priorities for speed, reliability and scalable growth.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NOARK Electric, a global provider of electrical power distribution and protection solutions, showcased its data center power infrastructure capabilities at Yotta 2026.

Power Infrastructure Needs to Keep Pace with AI-Driven Data Center Growth

Artificial intelligence is accelerating data center development across North America, driving larger campuses, higher power densities and more accelerated deployment schedules. As demand for computing capacity grows, power infrastructure has become a critical factor in how quickly projects can move from planning to operation.

For data center developers and operators, three priorities are increasingly shaping power infrastructure decisions.

Speed to Power — Bring capacity online faster and with greater certainty.

Engineering cycles, equipment lead times, compliance and supply chain execution can all affect project schedules.

Reliable Performance — Protect mission-critical operations.

Higher power densities require robust equipment, coordinated protection and reliable technical support across the electrical system.

Scalable & Flexible Infrastructure — Build for today while preparing for growth.

Multi-phase developments require standardized and repeatable electrical platforms that can expand as capacity needs evolve.

Addressing these priorities requires more than individual products. It requires engineering, supply, compliance and local execution working together throughout the project lifecycle.

Global Engineering, Local Expertise

Supported by global engineering and R&D resources, NOARK combines global product development capabilities with a North American application-focused engineering team that works closely with customers to address local technical requirements and project-specific applications.

NOARK's MV GIS switchgear demonstrates this capability through a compact design that reduces equipment footprint while addressing the performance and reliability requirements of critical power distribution. By connecting global R&D with local application expertise, NOARK can adapt product solutions to the evolving needs of North American data center projects.

Building Supply Chain Flexibility Across Markets

NOARK combines flexible supply capabilities with regional fulfillment and customer support to respond to the needs of North American projects.

The global manufacturing footprint gives NOARK access to diversified production resources, manufacturing scale and sourcing flexibility, while localized supply brings selected equipment closer to North American customers.

NOARK's LV switchboard and busway solutions demonstrate this combination of global capacity and local supply. U.S.-based supply capabilities can shorten supply paths and improve responsiveness, while global manufacturing resources provide additional capacity and flexibility for large-scale, multi-phase deployments.

Integrating North American Compliance from the Start

Global capabilities must ultimately translate into products that meet North American standards and project requirements. Addressing compliance helps reduce qualification uncertainty and supports a more predictable path from specification to execution.

NOARK's local engineering and compliance expertise helps integrate applicable UL, IEEE and other North American requirements into product qualification and project execution. A series of products displayed at Yotta demonstrate this approach, with a product platform developed to meet applicable IEEE requirements for the North American market.

Bringing Assembly and Service Closer to Customers

NOARK's localized assembly, project fulfillment and service capabilities bring execution closer to North American customers. A dedicated regional delivery and fulfillment team coordinates order execution, production, logistics and project delivery, providing customers with local support from order placement through on-site delivery and beyond.

NOARK's ACB and MCCB platforms combine global product platforms with localized assembly in North America, supporting greater delivery flexibility and regional responsiveness.

NOARK's capabilities provide another example of this execution model. For a recent North American project, coordinated engineering, manufacturing, logistics and local fulfillment enabled the process from order to on-site delivery to be completed in approximately 75 days, demonstrating how global resources and local execution can work together to support fast-paced project schedules.

Local capabilities extend beyond equipment delivery to project coordination, commissioning, technical assistance and after-sales support, providing customers with a more responsive connection throughout the project lifecycle.

Together, these four capabilities form NOARK's global-to-local delivery model.

Engineer. Source. Qualify. Deliver

"Data center customers are focused on three outcomes: getting power online faster with greater certainty, operating mission-critical infrastructure reliably, and building systems that can scale with future demand," said Andy Li, General Manager of NOARK North America. "Delivering those outcomes takes more than individual products. By combining global engineering and supply chain scale with NOARK's North American application engineering, compliance expertise, localized assembly, fulfillment and service, we bring global resources closer to the customer—supporting speed to power, uncompromised reliability and scalable growth."

NOARK's presence at Yotta 2026 highlighted how this global-to-local model can support the data center electrical infrastructure from medium-voltage distribution and transformation to low-voltage power distribution and circuit protection.

Supporting the Next Phase of Data Center Growth

Beyond Yotta 2026, the priorities highlighted at the event reflect a broader shift in the North American data center market, where power availability, equipment lead times and deployment certainty are increasingly central to project planning. For developers, EPC contractors and engineering partners, NOARK's global-to-local model offers a practical framework for addressing these challenges by connecting engineering expertise, diversified supply resources, North American compliance and localized execution.

By bringing these capabilities together across medium- and low-voltage systems, NOARK aims to help customers improve project coordination, manage delivery risks and build electrical infrastructure that can scale with evolving data center requirements.

NOARK Combines Global Scale with Local Execution for Data Center Power Infrastructure

BEIJING, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Premiering on August 6 on China's micro-drama platform Hongguo and social media platform Douyin, both under Douyin Group, the AI animated series Cang Hai Gui Xu, drawing on the thousand-year maritime civilization in southern China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, has become a big hit.

The series, adapted from a local literary work, has 30 episodes with each running for approximately two minutes. It takes viewers on a journey where marine themes intertwine with fantasy storytelling.

So far, it has garnered more than 5.4 million views on Douyin, ranking fifth in the platform's popular short-drama chart under the male-duo category. It has also received sustained attention from major Chinese media outlets, with related coverage attracting more than 1.4 million views.

According to its director Fu Weifeng, the production team used Guangxi's real landscapes as the foundation for the series. The team artistically reinterpreted the real-world locations and imagery materials using AI, combining marine issues with fantasy narratives.

The team also developed a dedicated database of Guangxi cultural elements to support AI-assisted production. More than 50 representative intangible cultural heritage items and local landmarks were converted into precise labels recognizable by AI systems. This enabled cultural elements from Guangxi to be naturally integrated into the storyline.

Beyond its cultural and ecological themes, the series offers a new approach to adapting local literary works for the screen.

Zeng Pan, deputy editor-in-chief of Southern Cultural Forum, said the adaptation of literary works for the screen using AI technology offers fresh inspiration and new perspectives to contemporary literature.

He noted that AI-animated productions could help overcome barriers in adapting local literary works by reducing costs and improving production efficiency, providing a promising example of how works by Guangxi writers can be adapted across media in a cost-effective, efficient and high-quality manner.

Wan Xingwei, general manager of Guangxi Film Group, said the group would establish a regular cooperation mechanism with the Guangxi Writers Association to connect literary creation with AI-assisted film and television production across the entire industrial chain.

The initiative aims to build an integrated industry ecosystem spanning literary incubation, AI-powered content production and international commercialization, said Wan.

Co-produced by organizations including the Qingxiu District Converged Media Center and Guangxi Film Group, the series is seeking to enter the ASEAN market through the China-ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Innovation Center.
