INDIA: National Instruments the provider of solutions that enable engineers and scientists to solve the complex engineering challenges, announced the NI SOM. This is their first global product launch from India, with NI introducing a major transformation in embedded technology for the world – from Chennai.  It combines the Xilinx Zynq All Programmable system on a chip (SoC) with supporting components such as memory on a small PCB and features a complete middleware solution and ready-to-go Linux-based real-time operating system (RTOS) already integrated. The NI SOM gives design teams the customizability of a SOM without the increased time and risk of developing custom software.

With this launch, NI is paving the way for its embedded technology to be a game changer for the future. From healthcare in India to smart manufacturing facilities in France, this technology can directly address the market pain of disease as well as the need to advance the industrial automation market.NI showcased this revolutionary technology with lead users from HTIC (Joint initiative of IIT-Madras & Govt. of India) – who are working on medical diagnostics for public and private sectors; and Airbus – working on cyber-physical systems for ‘the Factory of the Future’.

Joel Shapiro, Leader for Marketing, Emerging Markets Region, NI said ‘’The NI System on Module (SOM), combined with powerful LabVIEW libraries, enables engineers to transform their ideas into embedded products faster than any other tool available on the market.  Healthcare devices, smart machines, and other applications that require embedded technology will benefit as the NI SOM not only speeds up, but also bridges design, prototyping, and deployment with a single platform.  ‘’
