From MVP to Enterprise: Scaling While Cutting Deployment Time and Cost

Overview

For many food and beverage manufacturers, scaling digital solutions across multiple sites often stalls after the first pilot. Proof-of-concepts (POC) or proof-of-values (POV) drag on, value goes unrealized, and every new deployment feels like starting from scratch. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

In this session, we’ll break down the Rockwell Automation minimum viable product (MVP) to scale methodology and share real customer use cases. You’ll learn how to design for value and scale, how production hardening transforms an MVP into an enterprise-ready solution, and why deployment effort drops dramatically when adding additional sites. 

Discover how standardization, aligned workflows, consistent data models, and site readiness practices enable the reduction of unit cost per deployment — making transformation not only scalable, but economically compounding. Whether you’re responsible for digital innovation, operations, architecture, or scaling analytics across plants, this session gives you a roadmap to escape the POC/POV graveyard and unlock sustainable enterprise value.
