The Bengaluru conference spotlighted AI-driven automation, advanced modular hardware, and software-connected systems for future-ready testing across key industries
Bengaluru: Emerson’s Test and Measurement business, formerly known as National Instruments (NI), gathered over 600 engineers, researchers, and technology leaders under one roof this week for NI Days India 2025. Hosted at the Sheraton Grand Bengaluru, the conference reaffirmed Emerson’s vision to accelerate the next wave of software-connected, intelligent testing solutions critical to sectors such as aerospace, semiconductors, wireless communication, life sciences, and EV manufacturing.
Accelerating Smart Test Futures
Ritu Favre, President of Emerson’s Test and Measurement division, delivered a compelling keynote emphasizing the shift from traditional validation to intelligent test systems powered by modular hardware, deep software integration, and advanced data analytics. Favre noted that reducing time-to-market and expanding test coverage will be fundamental for future-ready product development – especially in high-growth domains like mobility, 6G, and semiconductors.
Among the most anticipated announcements was the upcoming launch of NI Nigel™ AI Advisor, a transformative addition to the new versions of NI LabVIEW™ and NI TestStand™. Set to roll out later this month at no extra cost, Nigel represents a new class of AI assistants designed to automate routine tasks, improve code quality, and deliver real-time insights for engineers.
India at the Heart of Global Test Strategy
With a robust presence in India’s R&D and engineering ecosystem, Emerson reaffirmed the country’s critical role in shaping the future of intelligent test systems. India is not just a market for Emerson—it is a co-innovation hub driving advancements in wireless connectivity, electric vehicles, and embedded systems testing.
The conference reflected Emerson’s evolving vision: to empower engineers with smarter, faster, and more connected testing platforms. As industries increasingly rely on data-driven development cycles, Emerson’s innovations aim to bridge the gap between design complexity and time-to-market demands. says release
