Industrial Measurement and Control

Each year more than 25,000 different companies, including 95 percent of Fortune 500 manufacturing companies, base their system designs on National Instruments products to reduce their time to market and to optimize existing facilities.

NI offers a measurement and automation platform that industrial engineers can use to optimize existing plants and design engineers can use to build high-performance machines.

Optimize Plant Operations

Design High-Performance Machines
  • Improve quality through real-time measurement integration
  • Reduce downtime with better diagnostic tools
  • Improve throughput using higher-speed loops and advanced control algorithms
  • Optimize plant spending by augmenting the existing automation systems
  • Shorter time to market through customizable off-the-shelf embedded hardware
  • Machine differentiation through the inclusion of advanced embedded and IT functionality
  • Reduced total lifetime costs (design, production, support, upgrades)

The core of this platform is LabVIEW, the National Instruments high-level graphical programming language, executing on an industrial programmable automation controller (PAC). This platform combines the capabilities of traditional PLC controllers, PC-based controllers, and custom hardware to provide a highly customizable off-the-shelf embedded platform.
