Welcome to Episode 198 of Manufacturing Hub with Vlad and Dave!

This week, we’re diving into a full recap of the Prove It conference—one of the biggest and most talked-about industrial automation events, held last week in Dallas, Texas. If you've been anywhere near LinkedIn, you've probably seen the buzz!

What made Prove It different?

A real-world factory simulation with imperfect data
40 vendors challenged to "prove" their solutions in real time
Hard-hitting questions: What problem did you solve? How long did it take? How much did it cost?
A no-fluff format with tough audience Q&A
Our Key Takeaways:
✅ What It Means to "Prove It" – Success stories and areas for improvement
✅ The Best (and Not-So-Great) Presentations – What set some companies apart?
✅ Innovative Solutions & New Product Announcements – Highlights from HiveMQ Pulse, Litmus AI, Flow’s Timebase, and more
✅ The Role of Integrators – How firms like MAC Controls, JPI Solutions, and Concept Reply demonstrated practical applications
