AutomationWorld’s “Leadership in Automation” program highlights preferred suppliers as identified by their readers across more than two dozen automation technology categories. Now in its fifth year, the program remains relevant as technologies change and supplier preferences shift based upon needs, and/or peer recommendations. Allegiance to a particular brand or resentment toward another brand may last for years, or change as often as new technologies emerge. Since the survey is unaided, the write-in results are significant because it doesn’t rely on a presumed list of contenders. According to their editor, this serves as a “useful snapshot of current reader preference for certain suppliers in very specific technology categories.”
