“As the world becomes more connected, the incredible amount of real-world data available today promises great insights for engineers and scientists, but obtaining that knowledge can present challenges,” said Eric Starkloff, NI executive vice president of global marketing and sales. “We strive to help our customers navigate the avalanche of analog data by researching trends that will help them manage the increasingly complex amount of information they are acquiring so they can make the right decisions at the right time.”.
NI's 2016 Trend Watch explores these topics:
Prototyping takes 5G from concept to reality – 5G will undoubtedly evolve our wireless networks to levels never imagined, but its path will not be without obstacles.
The future of Big Analog Data: Distributed intelligence – With the proliferation of sensing technologies and networks, it has never been easier or more cost-effective to add measurements to systems.
It's time: Evolution of network standards for the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) – Networking technologies must evolve to meet the requirements of next-generation industrial systems and radically advance the way we operate machines, power grids, and transportation systems.
Testing systems for the Big Bang of smart devices – Instead of designing a single testing system for each device being tested, testing leaders should design intelligent testing systems that can adapt to and test all smart devices.
Consumer-oriented software and how it will change the landscape forever – In a market that is rapidly demanding convergence and the best possible world, it is up to software providers to answer that demand.
