NI Business Impact for Embedded System Design

Embedded designers are challenged to deliver high-quality products and services at a faster pace. With the NI approach to graphical system design, realize benefits beyond what was previously capable with traditional design tools.

  • Deliver disruptive innovation to market quickly to stay competitive in challenging environments
  • Complete projects with small teams of domain experts, instead of large teams of traditional embedded developers
  • Ensure a low total life cycle cost for your project without sacrificing capability or quality

The Results Are In: NI Embedded Tools Double Productivity

In 2012, NI worked with third-party vendor, Wilson Research, to conduct a global survey of over 1,000 NI embedded customers using NI LabVIEW system design software and reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware. The same questions and responses were compared to the annual UBM Survey of Embedded Markets. Using the LabVIEW RIO architecture, NI embedded customers get to market in half the time with one-third the engineering resources compared to the general embedded market.
