ProveIt! Conference | February 16-20, 2026 | Hyatt Regency Dallas, TX

Where Innovation Isn’t Talked About – It’s Proven in Action

At Critical Manufacturing, we believe the future isn’t something you predict, but something you build. That’s exactly what ProveIt! 2026 is all about: a conference where solutions are connected, tested in real time, and proven in realistic industrial environments, not just talked about in presentations.

We are thrilled to join this collaborative ecosystem of innovators who are redefining what’s possible in Industry 4.0, digital transformation, and industrial interoperability.

We are bringing to Dallas Critical Manufacturing MES and its built-in data platform for unprecedent operational intelligence.

Live Demo

Building Manufacturing’s decision engine.

Stop Arguing. Start Acting.

Everyone is building a Unified Namespace. Fewer are turning it into intelligence. In this demo, we show what happens after the data arrives.

Starting with live MQTT streams flowing into a Unified Namespace, we demonstrate how a future-proof MES transforms raw events into operational understanding.

Using an AI Analytics Copilot, we query real-time and historical production data in natural language, then move beyond dashboards into action.

You’ll see us trace a material defect through production history, isolate the root cause to a specific employee–equipment interaction, and trigger corrective action in the system of record.

We then close the loop by publishing enriched, contextualized events back into the Unified Namespace in ISA-95-aligned form.

This demo proves the difference between having a Unified Namespace and actually operaring an intelligent factory.

Workshop

AI-Native MES Architecture: UNS, Canonical Data, and Agents in the Loop

Following our ProveIt! 2026 presentation “Building Manufacturing’s decision engine. Stop Arguing. Start Acting.” this workshop dives into the architecture powering our live demo. We will focus on the building blocks of Critical Manufacturing MES and what makes it different from other systems.

Key takeaway: We are built better because the focus on information and context – not only data – is our foundation, not an afterthought. Most vendors bolt AI onto legacy MES: we designed the entire stack to work as one system from day one.
