Do you meant OEMs of all manufactured goods, or are you interested in
a particular industry, like computers?

Any company that makes a commercial or industrial machine.. i.e. coil
winders, ovens, treadmills, fryers, etc.  One piece of research
indicated there were 100,000 manufacturers of machines.   Not finished
goods (i.e. clothing)  My goal is to identify a market pool for
embedded system controls.
