AvidBeam Announces Collaboration with Schneider Electric at Innovation Day for IT 2026

AvidBeam participated in Innovation Day for IT 2026, hosted by Schneider Electric at the St. Regis Hotel in Egypt's New Administrative Capital on November 11, 2026. At the event, Hossam Samy, Chief Operating Officer of AvidBeam, took the stage to announce a new collaboration between AvidBeam and Schneider Electric, marking the first joint public appearance of the two companies as partners.

The event brought together IT leaders, data center specialists, system integrators, and technology partners to explore developments in energy management, IT infrastructure, and intelligent building operations. AvidBeam's participation placed its AI video analytics platform within that conversation, connecting surveillance intelligence to the broader IT and infrastructure challenges facing modern organizations.

The Announcement: AvidBeam and Schneider Electric

Hossam Samy announced on stage that AvidBeam and Schneider Electric would work together to combine Schneider Electric's strength in energy management and IT infrastructure with AvidBeam's capability in AI-powered video analytics. The collaboration aims to give organizations more value from their facilities and surveillance systems by bringing intelligent analytics into environments where energy efficiency, infrastructure reliability, and physical security converge.

The announcement positions AvidBeam as a technology partner that extends naturally into the IT and data center environments Schneider Electric serves. Organizations running critical infrastructure are increasingly looking for ways to monitor operational conditions, detect anomalies, enforce access controls, and generate intelligence from camera systems that have historically operated in isolation from their IT and energy management platforms.

What the Collaboration Delivers

The core proposition of the AvidBeam and Schneider Electric collaboration is straightforward: organizations already operating Schneider Electric infrastructure can add AI-driven intelligence to their surveillance systems without replacing what they have. The table below summarizes the key areas of impact.

For data center and IT-intensive environments, the combination is particularly relevant. Schneider Electric's expertise in managing power, cooling, and IT infrastructure creates a foundation for facilities where operational continuity is critical. Adding AvidBeam's real-time video analytics to that foundation means that physical access events, unauthorized presence in restricted zones, tailgating at secure entries, and perimeter anomalies are detected automatically and surfaced to operators without requiring dedicated security staffing at every location.

AvidBeam at Innovation Day for IT 2026

Beyond the stage announcement, AvidBeam's team engaged with attendees across the event, speaking with IT leaders and system integrators about the challenges they face in connecting physical security intelligence to the broader operational picture of their organizations. The conversations at Innovation Day reflected a shift in how IT-oriented audiences think about surveillance: not as a standalone security function but as a data source that can support operational decisions, compliance requirements, and infrastructure management.

AvidBeam's server-based platform, which processes live camera feeds and delivers real-time analytics on existing ONVIF-compliant cameras, connects directly to that interest. The ability to deploy AI analytics on infrastructure already in place, without requiring a hardware refresh, is a consistent theme in conversations with IT buyers who are evaluating where to extend the intelligence of their environments.
