NI addresses the different
facets of a 'Connected World'
at NIDays 2016
NI, the provider of systems that enable engineers and scientists
to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, on
October 19, 2016, successfully hosted the 13th edition of
NIDays – an annual conference on graphical system design – in
Bangalore. The event was attended by over 500 engineers,
scientists, and experts from Industry and Academia who
discussed the trends, opportunities, and challenges that lie in
the future of connected systems.
At the seminar, NI India launched the latest version of its
flagship product, LabVIEW 2016, with enhancements in
acquiring, processing and managing data from remote data
acquisition systems. NIDays offered 21 technical sessions and
tutorials along with a wide range of products and application
demonstrations. The diverse set of panelists shared their ideas
on trends in communication systems, embedded electronics,
security and automated test systems that address the
challenges and opportunities for the next generation of
connected systems.
NI also hosted its annual student design contest NIYantra 2016
as an effort to foster spirit of innovation in engineering students
and expose them to experiential education. This contest, held
over a period of six months, helped the undergraduate
engineers design their project ideas and convert them into
working models using NI hardware and software.
