Understanding Proof of Concept for Automation 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 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.

Cross Company's Proof of Concept Services
At Cross, we work with a wide range of operations, from OEMs to commercial manufacturers. And we help those operations test and evaluate automation solutions within a controlled environment through our industrial proof of concept services. Some of these services include
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
Utilizing a comprehensive proof of concept process 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
