Understanding Proof of Concept for Automation Testing Applications

The proof of concept process plays a critical role in validating new ideas, approaches, and technologies before full-scale implementation into industrial operations. At Cross, we offer comprehensive proof of concept for automation testing services which enable businesses to evaluate potential automation solutions in a controlled setting.

Proof of concept must be methodical and structured. That way, you know the feasibility, functionality, and potential benefits of any proposed automation solutions before they’re implemented. This can let you calculate future revenue, plan for coming implementations, and have a clear ROI for any investments into automation. Often, this involves utilizing a small-scale prototype or conducting demonstrations to show the viability of a proposed solution before fully committing to broad implementation.

Other key objectives for proof of concept process and implementation are risk mitigation, technical validation, business alignment, and data-driven decision making. By conducting a proof of concept, operations can reduce risks associated with implementing new systems and ensure those decisions align with long-term strategies.

Procurement and Analysis – We work with many operations to get a comprehensive understanding of automation goals, requirements, and challenges. Then we can create solutions for those operations, sourcing components through our strategic partnerships with industry-leading parts manufacturers.

Testing and Evaluation – Our engineering team can design and prototype small-scale models to evaluate potential automation solutions. We collect data, measure performance metrics, and evaluate the results to determine the functionality, feasibility, and benefits of the proposed solution

Detailed Data and Reporting – As we work through a proof of concept project, we collect detailed data and create comprehensive reports on our findings. These are presented to you, highlighting the strengths and ROI of the proposed solution.

Benefits of Proof of Concept in Industrial Automation Testing

Utilizing a comprehensive proof of concept process for automation testing provides many benefits for industrial operations. Some of these include

Reduce Risk

By testing on a smaller scale, we can identify and remove potential risks early in the development cycle. This reduces the risk of costly mistakes during full-scale implementation

Save Money

Through proof of concept, operations are able to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an automation solution. Knowing a potential ROI early also allows for accurate long-term planning

Improve Decision-Making

The data and information gained from the proof of concept process allows operations to make more strategic, data-driven business and decisions that align with overall goals and objectives

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
