How Intelligence and Integrated Systems are Driving Innovations in Test

In this month’s edition of the Edge, we explore different ways intelligent test and measurement is already changing how products are developed. Discover how AI is transforming engineers' skill sets and career paths, and how NI’s LabVIEW+ is boosting engineering productivity. Plus, delve into how generative AI and machine learning enables engineers to do what they do best—innovate— all while navigating the balance between accelerating product development and improving quality.

The “Intelligent Test” Revolution in Manufacturing

Since its early days in the 1950s, AI has transformed nearly every industry, but how exactly is it shaping the future of manufacturing? In this engaging 18-minute conversation, NI Fellows Charles Schroeder (Technology & Innovation) and Michael Schuldenfrei (Product Analytics) share insights into how Intelligent Test (powered by AI and machine learning) is helping drive process efficiency, improve product quality, and shorten time-to-market. Hear about their emphasized approach that pairs generative AI with “human-in-the-loop” through tools that simplify and enrich the engineer's role, fostering innovation while maintaining rigorous standards. This is a must-see for professionals eager to integrate AI effectively into their workflow! Watch the video .
