With more than 200 permanent operating jobs announced, this project clears AFT's 100-permanent-job threshold (AFT includes any project meeting $100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). It is also confirmed by official public sources and involves a physical manufacturing facility in the United States.
View full methodology →The robotics & automation context.
Robotics & Automation tracks qualifying U.S. facilities manufacturing industrial robots, humanoid robots, automated systems and related robotic equipment. The category follows the physical production sites where robotics companies build machines and core components, while distinguishing them from software-only, research-only, warehouse-operations and end-user deployment projects.
