National Instruments: Implementing an integrated platform to augment industry environments in Indust

CIO Vendor The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a major trend with significant implications for the global economy. It spans industries representing 62 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) among G20 nations, according to Oxford Economics, including manufacturing, mining, agriculture, oil & gas, and utilities. Not surprisingly, the IIoT’s potential payoff is enormous. The most conservative independent estimates place spending on the IIoT worldwide at $20 billion in 2012, with spending expected to reach $500 billion by 2020. Headquartered in Texas, USA, with an Indian office in Bangalore, Karnataka, National Instruments provides platform based systems with intuitive technology to create systems that address the engineering challenges. Since 1976, NI has been resolving the engineering challenges for engineers and scientists with powerful platform-based systems that accelerate productivity and drive rapid innovation.


NI’s LabVIEW engineering software is designed specifically to accelerate the productivity and provides necessary interface to consumers


NI’s integrated hardware and software platform serves a variety of industries such as healthcare, automotive, consumer electronics, particle physics to name a few, to improve the world we live in. The organization delivers data acquisition hardware, signal processing
libraries and user interface controls builtfor measurement of data visualization for faster, automated and data-driven decisions.“Our integrated hardware and software platforms based on commercial technologies ensure connectivity and bring all these technologies to our customers in simplified and effective way”, asserts Satish Mohanram, Senior Marketing Manager, NI. Furthermore, DIAdem software designed by NI facilitates engineers and scientists to quickly locate, inspect, analyze, and report on measurement data using one software tool. The company renders a suite of software tools to collect, analyze report and act on Big Analog Data.
Proffering Business Insights to Engineers
Similarly NI’s LabVIEW engineering software is designed specifically to accelerate the productivity and provides necessary interface to consumers. With a graphical programming syntax that makes it simple to visualize, create & code engineering systems, LabVIEW aids engineers to reduce test times and deliver business insights based on collected data. Additionally, the solution assists to create, deploy, and test the Internet of Things as well as ensures the quality of connected devices. LabVIEW helps to bring in the end analytics which enables insights of industrial internet world to the customers. Along the same lines, the intelligent “system of systems” integrates with systems to enhance stability of distributed intelligent systems. National Instruments caters organizations with embedded systems to prototype & deploy logging, diagnostics, monitoring, and control applications within a variety of demanding industry environments.
Partnering with industrial internet consortiums such as IIC, Bosch Rexroth to name a few, National Instruments is objectively working with innovators to develop smarter products and technologies and to provide support & services in “big data” storage & analysis. The organization intends to reframe the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with its hardware performing local control and data acquisition to entire networks of intelligent "system of systems". Emphasizing on the ease of use and build up robust IIoT infrastructure, National Instruments aims to evolve its hardware & software platforms to leverage technologies like smart handled devices and bring IIoT, information as well as analytics to the end users.
