# Hardware refresh insights

Organizations regularly replace hardware and devices, significantly impacting their budgets and sustainability.

## Problem <a href="#zscalertroubleshooting-problem" id="zscalertroubleshooting-problem"></a>

Frequent device replacement without evaluating the [Digital Employee Experience](/platform/user-guide/dex-score.md) (DEX) scores results in substantial costs and environmental consequences.

Without insight into device performance, many devices are prematurely replaced even though they still provide a satisfactory user experience.

## Solution <a href="#zscalertroubleshooting-solution" id="zscalertroubleshooting-solution"></a>

The **Hardware refresh insight**[ live dashboard](/platform/user-guide/live-dashboards.md) provides key information into device endpoint Digital Employee Experience (DEX) scores. Based on these DEX scores, you can efficiently determine which devices should be kept or upgraded, ensuring that hardware is only replaced when necessary.

By leveraging the device performance data, EUC managers can maintain operational efficiency while promoting sustainability.

## Benefits and outcome

By implementing the **Hardware refresh insight** library pack you:

* Reduce costs by avoiding unnecessary device replacements.
* Minimize e-waste, promoting sustainability.
* Maintain operational efficiency with informed decisions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/library-packs/hardware-management/hardware-refresh-insights.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
