NI Connect München 2022 [GPower]

NI Connect Munich 2022 [GPower]

by Conference

Test systems, test functions, and data analysis were among the themes of this year's NI (National Instruments) Connect in Munich. The meeting place for NI partners, customers, and engineers, where strategy, technical sessions, and networking are paramount. In addition to being updated on the latest technologies, we learned also how to utilize synergies to an even greater extent than we already do today.

What Is NI Connect?

NI Connect is NI’s annual event series where engineers and industry leaders from around the world come together to explore the latest in test and data analytics as well as innovative products and approaches that drive businesses forward. This premier, in-person event also provides opportunities for attendees to reconnect with peers and share ideas that help one another engineer ambitiously.

From National Instruments to NI

NI has gone through a major transformation in recent years, which has also had an impact on the partner programme. At GPower, we are positive about the transformation and we are having high expectations for the future collaboration:

“At GPower, we only see “the green NI” as a positive change. While it has been difficult for specialists like us to make full use of the partner program previously, the new categorization will make it much easier for us to be “found” in the database. A positive change for NI partners, but in particular for the customers, as they will be able to find the right partner faster and easier, which is crucial in relation to getting future-proof test and measurement systems”, says Morten Baltzer, Key Account Manager at GPower.

Who Attends NI Connect?

Engineers at all levels can benefit from the conference’s keynotes and sessions. Business decision makers, solutions architects, developers, engineers, and aspiring engineers are all welcome.

Is NIWeek now Known as NI Connect?

NIWeek was NI’s long-standing annual conference held in Austin for more than 25 years. NI Connect builds on the best of what NIWeek had to offer while marking a new direction for future NI events as a whole.

NIWeek 2019 er skudt i gang!

NIWeek 2019 Is Now On!

by with No Comment Conference

NIWeek, which is a four days test, design, and development conference, is now on in Austin! As one of the leading and most specialized LabVIEW companies in Northern Europe, we are, of course, represented by technical and commercial employees at NIWeek 2019!

An Annual Update and a Strategic Overview

As NI Alliance Partner and provider of NI software and hardware, it is crucial for us being up to date on the latest technologies, including LabVIEW, instrumentation, and test concepts, given that we are among the leading experts in Scandinavia in these areas. This is for instance the case when building specialized measuring instruments, controllers, and signal generators for automation, simulation, and test projects.

We do projects in various industries

Furthermore, it is also important for us being up to date in relation to NI’s strategic plans and business perspectives. This is, among other things, because of our partnership and strategic cooperation with NI, where we connect NI’s hardware with our proprietary software for the purpose of providing Affordable, High-quality Instruments on Time.

What Is NIWeek?

This year, NI is hosting its 25th annual worldwide user conference, NIWeek, in Austin, Texas. A technical conference that contains more than 200 technical sessions, countless panel debates, and networking events regarding test, measurement, and control. NIWeek is, moreover, the place to be, if you are interested in networking and discussing state-of-the-art technology with some of the world’s best engineers and researchers.

That said, NIWeek is also the annual opportunity for us meeting face-to-face with several of our customers, business partners, and NI contacts.

See the agenda for NIWeek 2019

Let Us Set Up a Meeting!

Are you also attending this year’s NIWeek from May 20-23, 2019? Write or call us, so we can arrange a meeting.

From Focus Comes Growth

When the Northern European Alliance Day takes place on 6-7 March 2019 in Amsterdam, it is held under the headline “From focus comes growth”. In this connection, there will, among other things, be technical as well as business-oriented presentations, which is why our CTO, Steen Secher Schmidt, and CEO, Martin Boje, attend NI’s annual event for partners in Northern Europe.

Alliance Day 2019: See the Agenda

The Headline of the Program Can Be Linked to GPower

The headline “From focus comes growth” can moreover be linked to GPower’s growth. A growth that, among other things, occurs because of a long-standing focus on developing a strong software-foundation with the ability to reuse and customize software elements from previous projects. Based on this focus, we have more than doubled our staff and customer portfolio over the past 18 months.

En opdatering fra Austin! [NIWeek 2018]

An Update from Austin! [NIWeek 2018]

by with No Comment Conference

We have just received an update from Austin from our CTO, Steen Secher Schmidt, and CEO, Martin Boje, who attend this year's NIWeek.

Why Go to NIWeek?

In addition to the fact that Steen and Martin attend NIWeek in Austin to meet a lot of collaborators and professionals, they also attend NIWeek in order to learn more about the latest technologies and strategies at National Instruments (NI) – and with good reason as these expectations have been fulfilled!

A Strategic Cooperation with NI

Besides a lot of knowledge, experiences and inspiration, the last message from Austin was not least a lot of motivation. Martin and Steen have been confirmed by the fact that our product range, which we are launching soon, is consistent with also NI’s future strategies and product development to an even greater extent than expected.

Now, both of them look forward to getting home and rolling out our product range on the website – a new product range where we merge NI’s hardware with our proprietary software.

An Update Next Week

Given that the above-mentioned update is just an overall impression of this week’s many experiences, we will make a more detailed blog post about NIWeek next week when Martin and Steen are back at the office. Meanwhile, follow us on LinkedIn.

NIDays Steen Schmidt

CompactRIO – Adjusting Instruments

by with No Comment ConferenceHardware

“Building High Precision Instruments with CompactRIO”. That was the headline for one of the presentations at NIDays, and it was given by our founder and CTO, Steen Secher Schmidt. In his presentation he shared with the audience his expertise in terms of what it means to build instruments using CompactRIO.

Brief Summary of the Presentation

Did you miss out on Steen’s presentation at NIDays in Copenhagen? Here we have some bullet-points from the presentation:

    • What makes an instrument user-defined?
    • How do we make sure that user-defined instruments can be maintained and developed futher with minimal risk and effort?
    • What are the most common mistakes in these types of projects, and how do we avoid them?
    • Do user-defined instruments always equal successful projects?
    • Why do we use GPower Actor Framework instead of NI Actor Framework?
    • How do we combine CompactRIO and LabVIEW?

Why CompactRIO?

When we use CompactRIO we do so with the aim to improve advanced control- and monitoring systems regarding everything from sensors and cameras to motors and actuators. Furthermore, we use CompactRIO to simplify complex applications when we assemble a number of sub-systems into one whole system where multiple different components is connected directly to the instrument.

GPower Is Provider of Hardware from National Instruments 

We are able to do so especially because we define the instrument’s software ourselves. Because of that, we can adjust the instruments as we see fit – even after implementation.
