The five questions we asked

Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.

1“Best industrial automation and robotics companies in California”
2“Who supplies turnkey robotic palletizing cells in California”
3“I need a California automation partner for a fully automated assembly line upgrade, who should I talk to”
4“Top industrial automation and robotics suppliers in California for manufacturing engineering buyers”
5“Which California industrial automation and robotics integrators can handle multi-robot vision-guided pick-and-place systems”
6“List 20 industrial automation and robotics companies in California with their specialties.”the roster question

Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
