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.

Applications

Smart machine builders need to account for increasingly complex embedded systems.

SMART MACHINE CONTROL

Smart automation of machine vision and advanced motion control systems can help companies increase efficiency and accuracy.

CONDITION MONITORING

Off-highway equipment is large and complex. Anticipating repairs and addressing issues early can save time and money. A condition monitoring system allows engineers to understand the health of machinery and avoid downtime.

ELECTROMECHANICAL DESIGN VERIFICATION

Test cells combine industrial machinery with precision control and laboratory-quality measurements to replicate real-world environments.

Smart Turf Harvesting Machine Boosts Productivity and Reduces Cost

CompactRIO and LabVIEW increased farm productivity, reduced machine operating costs, and provided a secure Internet gateway to remotely monitor and control a turf harvester.

London Undergound Saves Time and Costs With Remote Condition Monitoring

NI hardware and software helped the London Underground reduce lost customer hours by 39,000 per year—an estimated £350,000 savings per year.

Monitoring Electromechanical Shovels for Open-Pit Mining

NI CompactRIO and NI LabVIEW are used for specialized, continuous monitoring for electromechanical mining shovels, enabling predictive maintenance for these rugged machines.
