Emerson is a global technology and engineering company known for delivering reliable, high performance solutions across industrial automation, electronics, energy and test environments. Through its 2023 acquisition of National Instruments, Emerson expanded its capabilities in automated test and measurement, integrating NI’s long established software centric tools with Emerson’s broader industrial portfolio. The acquisition brought NI’s PXI platform, instrumentation expertise and software ecosystem into a wider engineering landscape, allowing customers to build scalable test systems that combine modular hardware with flexible development workflows.

For more than 25 years, NI has been a central part of automated test architectures across sectors ranging from semiconductor validation and mixed signal design to aerospace, medical and automotive applications. Emerson continues to support and extend this platform, maintaining a commitment to software driven testing through tools such as LabVIEW, TestStand and InstrumentStudio. The combined organisation focuses on creating solutions that help engineers capture accurate, synchronised data, reduce integration time and build test infrastructures that evolve with new design requirements.

Emerson’s test and measurement portfolio now includes a broad range of PXI modules, high performance DAQ hardware, oscilloscopes, embedded controllers and hybrid chassis systems. These products are designed to help engineering teams streamline development, improve repeatability and build workflows that can incorporate AI assisted insights over time. By expanding access to modular test systems at a lower cost, Emerson aims to make advanced instrumentation more accessible to smaller teams, emerging industries and organisations modernising legacy equipment.

Today, Emerson continues to advance NI’s core principles of modularity, precision and long term reliability while extending those capabilities to support the evolving needs of data driven engineering across global markets.
