Profile
National
Instruments transforms the way engineers and scientists around the world design,
prototype, and deploy systems for test, control, and embedded design
applications. Using NI open graphical programming software and modular hardware,
customers at more than 30,000 companies annually simplify development, increase
productivity, and dramatically reduce time to market. From testing and
monitoring electronic devices and industrial systems to designing more efficient
machines, NI customers continuously develop innovative technologies that impact
millions of people. The NI graphical system design platform for test, control,
and embedded design spans the entire product design cycle, dramatically
increasing efficiency and improving the bottom line.
Headquartered
in Austin, Texas, NI has more than 5,200 employees and direct operations in 40
countries. In 2008, the company sold products to more than 30,000 companies in
90 countries with a revenue of $821M. NI has been named to Fortune magazine's
"100 Best Companies to Work For" for 10 consecutive years.
Products
and Services
For
more than 20 years, National Instruments LabVIEW graphical programming has
revolutionized the development of test, measurement, and control applications.
Regardless of experience, engineers and scientists can rapidly and
cost-effectively interface with measurement and control hardware, analyze data,
share results, and distribute systems. NI motion control software simplifies the
development of motion control applications by adding powerful high-level motion
functions. NI LabVIEW and the LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module empower machine
builders and OEMs to create custom motion controllers for better machine
performance and implement advanced motion control design algorithms using
National Instruments CompactRIO. An easy to use programming API offers fast
development and simplified deployment.
The
integration with SolidWorks allows customers to develop their motion control
algorithms and use the 3-D CAD model created within SolidWorks to evaluate the
system behavior and performance. By applying realistic motion control it is
possible to simulate real-world operating conditions for the design, check for
colliding parts and output numerical and graphic data of the results, as use the
CAD model for 3D visualization.
