NewsAnnouncements, events and what we've been up to — including the conferences where we take AGAD Portal out to prove it against everyone else's technology, live.
Latest first.
We deploy the system with you in your factory, you use it with real data for six months, then you decide whether to continue. No upfront software commitment.
Twelve months after our first visit, Listo returned to Dallas in February for ProveIt! 2026 — bigger, busier, and every bit as demanding as the event that told us we had to come back.
ProveIt! is not a normal trade show, and that is exactly why we exhibit there. Every solution partner plugs into one shared event infrastructure and demonstrates working technology — live data flowing across real systems, in front of an audience that is overwhelmingly made up of manufacturers rather than other vendors. There are no looping videos and no canned demos: you connect, you publish, and then you take unscripted questions from the floor.
That format suits the AGAD Portal. Our platform exists to connect, collect, store and analyse industrial data from the equipment a factory already owns — so an event built around live connectivity is home ground. Through the week we had AGAD connected and consuming live data alongside the industry's biggest names, showing visitors how readings from the plant floor become OEE, energy and maintenance views someone can actually act on.
The reception was fantastic. Being one of the teams that came to Texas from Northern Ireland made for a talking point, but what kept the stand busy was simpler: manufacturers recognised their own problems in what we showed them, and stayed to talk about their plants. A great buzz at the event, we had many engaging conversations.
Huge thanks to the ProveIt! community and organisers for another superbly run week. It is the most honest event in industrial technology — you cannot hide behind a brochure — and we are proud that AGAD Portal stood up to it for the second year running. We will be back.

In February, Listo packed the AGAD Portal into hand luggage and crossed the Atlantic to exhibit at ProveIt! 2025 in Dallas — the first edition of a conference unlike any other in industrial technology.
The premise of ProveIt! is in the name. Instead of polished stands and PowerPoint, every vendor was asked to plug into one shared digital infrastructure — a live Unified Namespace built on open standards like MQTT and OPC UA — and prove, with real data flowing, that their technology does what the brochure says. Then the audience gets to ask whatever they like.
For a company of process automation engineers, that was an invitation we could not turn down. Connecting to equipment, collecting live values and turning them into a view someone can act on is exactly what the AGAD Portal is for — and doing it live, side by side with the biggest names in Industry 4.0, was the best possible test of the platform we have built.
We could not have asked for a better reception. The inaugural event sold out, the room was full of manufacturers rather than vendors, and the conversations went deeper than at any trade show we have attended — straight past the marketing and into protocols, architectures and real plant problems. Our no-per-user pricing and OT background struck a chord with visitors who had heard plenty of promises from IT vendors before. Great call out from Walker about our video, placing us third in the Bronze — a great feeling.
Credit to the organisers for pulling off a first edition that many attendees were already calling the best industry event they had been to. Travelling from Northern Ireland to Texas for an unproven, first-year conference was a bet — and it paid off. We left with new friends, new prospects, and a firm plan to come back.
