21 more companies were named at least once. Companies outside the top ten are counted in the averages but not named here.

Also named, based in another state

AI assistants named these companies too, but MacRAE'S lists them in a different state, not Indiana. They belong to that state's ranking, not this one.

Company	State	Mentions
International Automation Solutions (IAS)	Michigan	4 of 15
Robotic Solutions	Oklahoma	3 of 15
Sherman Industries	Alabama	3 of 15
Optamate	California	2 of 15
PDF, Inc.	Massachusetts	2 of 15

Named, but placed in another state

The AI answers themselves put these companies in a different state, so they were not counted for Indiana. Whether MacRAE'S lists them elsewhere is not yet known.

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

Where AI drew its answers from
