Transportation and Heavy Equipment

Companies that invest in heavy machinery for transit, loading and unloading supplies, construction, or farming can maximize uptime and minimize costs by using predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics.

Advantages of the NI Approach

Lower Cost

By using NI hardware such as CompactRIO, NI customers report 4X improvement in the number of projects they can complete for the same budget.

Time-Saving

With LabVIEW system design software, you can quickly implement your ideas on commercially available hardware without wasting time on custom design.

Rugged Design

NI hardware can meet demanding requirements for operating temperature, ingress protection, and vibration ranges.
