NI webcasts highlight green measuring tools
A National Instruments product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 16, 2009
National Instruments is running the Green Engineering Virtual Event Series webcasts, which describe how to design, develop and improve technologies that result in environmental and economic benefits.
The free Green Engineering Virtual Event Series will be hosted on NI's website from 20-24 April and will cover a different green engineering topic every day.
An NI technical expert will present each webcast, focusing on real-world application examples and hardware and software demonstrations.
The Green Engineering Virtual Event Series will begin with a keynote from John Hanks, vice-president of industrial and embedded product lines at NI, about the challenges and opportunities driving global investment and innovation for environmentally friendly products, technologies and processes.
The series will close with remarks from Dr James Truchard, chief executive officer and co-founder of NI.
Each daily topic illustrates the newest trends in measurement and control techniques that can be applied across a variety of industries and green engineering applications.
The webcast topics include measurement fundamentals, signal processing and advanced control, which are based on case studies for environmental monitoring, wind and solar energy and power quality analysis.
Attendees can participate in a live chat with NI technical experts during each webcast to ask questions and share ideas.
The series also features real-world examples such as how Nucor used NI software and hardware to develop a variety of automation systems that have reduced electricity usage.
Siliken Renewable Energy uses NI hardware and software to increase efficiency throughout the solar-panel production process, from purifying silicon ore to manufacturing and testing the final product.
The series also explains how researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, used NI products to develop a wireless sensor system that collects a variety of environmental measurements in the Costa Rican rain forest and that offers remote configuration capabilities.
