NI Advantages for Embedded Control and Monitoring

NI Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware and NI LabVIEW software provide the best off-the-shelf platform to solve any demanding control and monitoring task. This NI platform-based approach gives small teams the confidence to build innovative embedded systems without wasting development time and cost on custom design.

Confidence to Prototype Your Ideas and Get to the Right Solution Faster

"With LabVIEW and NI CompactRIO, we were able to reduce our development cost by $250,000 (USD). In addition, we were able to reduce our development time from four months to four weeks, and avoid the necessity of developing custom control software and drivers."

- Daryl Farr, KC BioMediX Inc.

"LabVIEW has made the software development side much quicker than our past experiences in C-based programming. What most C programmers take two years to do, we can accomplish in a couple of months. We can use that time savings to get to market quicker and capitalize on our competitors’ lag time."

- Robert Stewart, Supreme Electrical Services, Inc

NI LabVIEW system design software lets you innovate with confidence as you graphically implement your ideas on commercially available NI Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware without the time and expense of custom design.
