Impact of AI and Cloud on Pro AV in the Near Future: A Focus on Avocor's Collaborative Workplace Solutions

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Professional Audio-Visual (Pro AV) industry, companies like Avocor are leading the charge in embracing cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize collaborative workspaces.

Avocor, a pioneer in the Unified Communications (UC) space, has been focusing on delivering innovative collaborative solutions that cater to the demands of the modern workplace. One such innovation is their integration of FUSE technology, a cloud-based remote management tool, into their displays. This tool allows for easy monitoring, maintenance, and updates of devices, providing a streamlined approach to managing AV systems.

The company's Vice President of Sales, America, Maureen Schmidt, discusses the significant impact that the cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are having on the Pro AV sector. Schmidt highlights the growing trend of AI-driven features, such as intelligent speech recognition, automated camera tracking, and real-time language translation, which are making meeting rooms and collaboration spaces more intuitive and user-friendly.

AI also enables enhanced content management, predictive analytics for maintenance, and customizable user experiences. The cloud, on the other hand, facilitates seamless collaboration across geographic boundaries, offering scalable and flexible infrastructure for AV deployments. It simplifies device management through centralized platforms and supports continuous updates and innovations, ensuring AV systems stay current without extensive on-site interventions.

Schmidt emphasizes that these technologies together empower organizations to create smarter, more connected, and responsive AV environments that drive productivity and foster engagement in hybrid and remote work settings. Furthermore, the cloud and AI tools are expected to play a significant role in pushing the sustainability agenda in the future, as they enable more efficient use of resources and reduce carbon footprints.

The developments in the Pro AV industry have also led to new meeting room layouts and possibilities, tailoring the right technology to the right meeting space. This evolution is supported by 15 manufacturers, who are working diligently to advance these technologies, and 30 thought leaders, who are discussing hybrid work in 2024.

In addition, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of preferred UC platforms for hybrid meetings, with 15 thought leaders focusing on streaming technologies and 15 on next-gen audio. The rise of esports has also garnered attention, with 15 thought leaders exploring its impact on the Pro AV industry.

Organizations have had to re-evaluate the workplace due to the increase in remote working, and the Pro AV industry is adapting to meet these changing needs. With 40 AV/IT companies releasing roadmaps for 2024, the future of Pro AV is looking bright, offering endless possibilities for collaboration, engagement, and productivity in the workplace.
