Many organizations have invested in advanced AV technology that is currently operating well below its potential—not because the technology has failed, but because no one is managing it effectively. At the same time, the premature replacement of equipment generates avoidable costs and contributes to the growth of electronic waste in the industry.

This panel will explore how artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance, and other tools can help make better use of existing infrastructure, optimize its performance, and extend its useful life. It will also address how to assess whether equipment should be maintained, upgraded, integrated into new solutions, or replaced.

Based on technical, financial, and sustainability criteria, the panelists will analyze how total cost of ownership (TCO), data, and new AI tools can support more informed investment decisions, balancing performance, profitability, and environmental impact.

Attendees will leave with concrete tools: an optimization checklist for existing installations, criteria for evaluating the compatibility of their systems with centralized management platforms, and real-world use cases of AI applied to AV spaces in the region.
