NI the provider of
systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest
engineering challenges, today successfully hosted its 12th edition
of NIDays in Bangalore. The event was attended by over 500
engineers, academicians and researchers who witnessed the launch of a wide
range of products that are designed to revolutionize the Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT).
At the seminar, NI India
launched the latest version of its flagship product – LabVIEW, with
enhancement in speed and memory usage. NIDays offered 18 technical sessions and
tutorials with over 30 products and application demonstrations. It allowed
visitors to learn about the latest hardware platforms and applications in the
industry. Speakers and exhibitors from various industries including
automotive, telecom, semiconductor, smart machines, aerospace and defense, etc.
joined the event to discuss and discover how to accelerate productivity for
software-defined systems in test, measurement, and control.
Robert Morton, Vice President, EMEIA, National Instruments said, “We are excited about using the Internet of Things in a
way that benefits the society at large through connected devices and by
incorporating the generated data into meaningful usages. We are investing
heavily into technology that makes this process easier for scientists and
engineers to not only rapidly prototype this but also deploy systems.”
The conference also
witnessed the launch of wide range of products which includes:
* Highest Bandwidth CompactDAQ chassis to date, the new 14-slot
USB 3.0 chassis, can stream measurement
data at over 225 MB/s
* The world’s first PXI chassis with PCI Express 3.0
technology can stream with system bandwidth of up to 24 GB/s each
direction
* The world’s first Intel Xeon-based 8-core PXI Express Embedded
Controller can turn 24 GB/s of data into valuable insight
* The newest Single Board RIO controllers based on dual
core ARM processor and ARTIX-7 FPGA technology, which runs the new
security enhanced distribution of NI Linux Real-time
* NI Wireless Test System (WTS), which dramatically
lowers the cost of high-volume wireless manufacturing test for the increasing
number of things with a wireless connection, a high-performance
Jayaram Pillai, Managing Director - IndRAA at National
Instruments said, “We are extremely excited and motivated to
witness the breadth and sophistication of applications that 2015 NIYantra participants
have created. Aiding in improving the education system and providing hands on
experience to students and engineers is a reward for the years of our efforts.
NIYantra is committed to support and help these budding individuals with access
to our technologies to create applications that can solve problems that
humanity face as a whole.”
ENGINEERING IMPACT AWARDS
NI’s annual technical
application contest – Engineering Impact Awards, enables NI customers to
showcase innovative projects based on NI software and hardware. The contest
this year had a total of 67 teams and the winners will get a chance to
participate in the Global Engineering Impact Awards held in Austin annually
during NIWeek.
This year’s winners were ARAV Technologies for
their vision based pre-dispatch inspection from the SME category, Mahindra & Mahindra for their automated
infotainment systems testing solution from the Systems category, SRM
University for their full duplex cognitive radio implementation using
NI USRP RIO 2943 from the Academics category and Digilogic
Systems for their portable DRFM based radar echo simulation system
from the Alliance Partner Category.
NIYANTRA
AWARDS
In order to foster the
spirit of innovation in engineering students and expose them to the essence of
experiential education through contest, NI hosted its annual Graphical System
Design contest NIYantra. This contest helps undergraduate engineers to design
their project ideas and convert them into working models using NI hardware and
software over a period of six months.
NIYantra 2015 witnessed
abstract submissions from 204 teams spread across engineering colleges in
India. The winners were from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, Mumbai
for their project development of a scavenger bot which is an autonomous street
cleaner and Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, NCR for the development of a
smart bin which is aimed at being a solution to Swachh Bharat. The runners up
were from Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore for the development of a
tennis tutor.
