As AI and cloud computing drive unprecedented data center growth, operational complexity inside facilities is accelerating. This panel addresses the growing operational gap between rapid build-out and day-to-day execution with a focus on automation systems for handling things like full chassis swaps and hot-aisle FRUs (field replacement units) at scale.

Panelists will share operator-driven perspectives on reducing manual risk, protecting live infrastructure, and maintaining 99.9% uptime through automation. Attendees will walk away with clear, practical insights on where automation delivers real operational value today and where it fits into the future of AI-driven facilities.
