Services
What we handle in Southfield
Data Center Remote Hands
Remote hands puts a Fieldbench technician physically inside your cage, suite, or facility to handle the tasks that don't need a full engineering visit but absolutely need a body on site — power cycles, visual checks, port verification, and escalation to our smart hands team when the job needs more than eyes and hands.
Learn more →Data Center Smart Hands
Smart hands is technical, skilled on-site labor — cable termination and testing, hardware installation and configuration, structured troubleshooting, and equipment swaps — performed by a technician who understands networking and infrastructure, not just someone following a checklist.
Learn more →Data Center Documentation
We send technicians on site to physically trace, photograph, and document your racks, cabling, and labeling — and hand you back clean rack elevation diagrams, cable schedules, and labeling that actually matches reality, not what a spreadsheet says should be there.
Learn more →Data Center Asset Inventory
We physically inventory every piece of equipment in your facility — model, serial number, rack position, and status — and apply a QR or barcode tagging system so future audits take minutes instead of days.
Learn more →Data Center Cleaning
Data center cleaning isn't office cleaning — dust and particulate buildup affects airflow and equipment reliability, and it has to be done without static risk or disruption to live gear. We clean raised floors, sub-floor plenums, cabinets, and hot/cold aisles using methods built for a live data center environment.
