Dr. Jayaraj Joseph, Systems Architect, Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre says,’’ NI's graphical design tools have helped HTIC to rapidly develop functional, field testable proof of concepts in healthcare space that involves a variety of stakeholders. NI SOM has now allowed HTIC to take these functional prototypes to mass deployable solutions. NI SOM  provide seamless integration with existing graphical development tool chain thereby allowing R&D centres to not only develop technology concepts, but also take them to deployment in a shorter time frame.’’

The NI SOM enables design teams to deploy reliable, complex embedded systems faster because it is based on and has the same rigorous design standards as the LabVIEW reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture. This architecture has already been used in high-reliability applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles and cataract surgery machines. NI, with this technology, aims to create a world of fresh possibilities for engineers, scientists and innovators – across life sciences, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing and energy sectors.

We have evaluated several SOMs and embedded SBCs, and there is no comparison to the software integration offered by NI,” said Sebastien Boria, R&D mechatronics technology leader at Airbus. “We estimate that our development costs with the NI SOM are a tenth of the costs of alternative approaches because of the productivity gains of NI’s approach to system design, in particular to NI Linux Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA.”
