More design-in wins for automation sensor distributors
When a plant retrofits a line or an integrator specs a new machine, the proximity, vision and pressure sensors get chosen early, and whoever reached the controls engineer first usually wins the socket. Those buyers, the automation engineers, plant maintenance leads and OEM purchasing managers, are concentrated on LinkedIn by industry and region. Reach them directly, send a message tied to their build, and get designed in before the bid closes, free to start.

Hi Lucia, saw Apex is upgrading the drivetrain assembly cell, that kind of retrofit usually means a fresh set of proximity and vision sensors going in.

“We used to wait for RFQs to land in the inbox, which meant competing on price after the spec was already locked. Now I pull controls engineers and maintenance managers at plants and integrators myself, and the AI references the line they are upgrading. We got designed into two new machine builds last quarter and one became a standing supply account.”
