Do you place both end-user and OEM automation leaders?

Yes. End-user leaders deploy automation inside manufacturing plants; OEM and integrator leaders build and sell it. Both are in scope, and the profiles differ meaningfully.

Where does the practice work?

Across the US–Mexico corridor — with strong pull from Nuevo León, the Bajío, Jalisco, Chihuahua, and Coahuila in Mexico, and the US Midwest and Southeast automation clusters.

How does this relate to Industry 4.0?

Automation and robotics execute on the shop floor; Industry 4.0 wires it together with data. Many searches span both — see the Industry 4.0 practice.
