CEATEC 2024: Delta Presents Highly Efficient Power Solutions for AI Data Centers, Smart Manufacturing, and Portable Consumer Devices

Delta just participated in the CEATEC 2024 (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) show in Japan and demonstrated its unique capabilities to enhance energy efficiency across the AI realm, green IT infrastructures and its prowess in smart manufacturing. Its various highly efficient power solutions for different applications were also featured during the event, showcasing Delta’s energy-saving contribution to global carbon reduction that aligns with Japan’s Society 5.0.

As AI technologies continue to innovate and develop, data centers are becoming the core focus for industry insiders. This year, Delta exhibited its newest prefabricated all-in-one data center solution, which integrates data center infrastructures and IT equipment into a 20ft container. The solution integrated the 21-inch ORV3 1OU 33kW power shelf and the 19-inch 1RU 33kW power shelf. The latter is specifically designed for the NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform, which reduces its volume from 21-inches, 1OU ORV3 standard to 19-inches, 1RU footprint without sacrificing the 33kW high power output and 97.5% power conversion efficiency. The outstanding customization capability offers flexible scalability to meet the rapid deployment of data centers in Japan.

For end-users, Delta presented three Japan-standard-conforming 60W / 20W dual-port socket outlets. These outlets feature Type A+C and Type C+C models with 92% single-port-output energy efficiency (at full load) and can be integrated into existing AC sockets, achieving the “one cable charging” vision for Japanese households. In addition, Delta unveiled its 20W-300W adapters to meet different charging demands for consumer electric devices. The 240W model satisfies the high-power requirement of AI/gaming laptops. Another 300W adapter features 4 USB-C and 1 USB-A ports to charge various electric devices simultaneously without using multiple adapters.

Innergie, a brand of Delta, also showcased its One For All Series chargers, including the latest C10 (single USB-C port) and C10 Duo (dual C+C ports) 100W adapters. The C10 was the smallest 100W charger in the world when launched earlier in 2024, while the C10 Duo model features the ROHM Semiconductor EcoGaN^TM and supports PD 3.0 (PPS) and QC 4 charging protocols. Equipped with the distinctive “dynamic smart power allocation”, the model’s two ports automatically provide required electricity to various devices, such as high-end laptops and other portable electric appliances. The testing shows that the C10 Duo charges a MacBook Pro M2 from 0-50% within 30 minutes. During the tradeshow, Innergie held a product launch event to promote the C10 Duo in the Japanese market together with ROHM’s representatives. This collaborative gesture demonstrated the close partnership of both parties and successfully attracted many media and visitors.  

Innergie’s exhibits also included the just-launched “15W Qi2 Wireless Charger” and the “5,100/10,200mAh Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Power Banks”. Both conform to the Qi2 wireless charging standard developed by the WPC organization (Wireless Power Consortium) and support the iOS and Android systems. The Qi2 standard features fast charging, which takes only 38 minutes to charge an iPhone 16 from 1%-30% and is twice as fast as the traditional Qi. Innergie’s Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Power Bank even received the “Japan Good Design Award 2024”, a testament to its efficiency and visual attractiveness. The P200 (200W) and P400 (400W) Mobile Charging Stations, which are expected to be launched next year, also debuted in the Japanese market. Both feature a swapping battery and 4 USB-C ports to charge up to 4 laptops simultaneously, suitable for mobile offices and outdoor activities.

During the event, Delta also exhibited the new Digital Twin Solution for smart manufacturing, which combines AI and advanced digital simulation technology, enabling manufacturers to reduce equipment development time by up to 20% while achieving over 95% simulation accuracy. In this area, Delta also demonstrated a real AGV demo integrated with the M∞V^air 1kW Wireless Charging System to showcase wireless electricity transferring technology. The 3.3kW model, which can be applied to mid-sized e-vehicles (e.g. heavy-lift AGVs and AMRs), was also showcased. The M∞V^air 1kW and 3.3kW Wireless Charging Systems comprise a primary unit, which is connected to the AC supply, and an onboard unit for forklift battery connection. The systems feature autonomous charging within a gap of 0-2 cm (1kW model) and 1-3 cm (3.3kW model).Their energy conversion efficiency is up to 93%, offering contactless and wireless charging for various types of industrial e-vehicles.
