Many of National Instruments Customers are working to build Asset Monitoring Systems
that support the change to predictive or condition based maintenance as compared to
scheduled or reactive.

These asset monitoring systems may include intelligence for automated diagnostics, and
perhaps predicting the point of failure of the asset.

National Instruments is working to make the task of developing, configuring, and deploying Asset Monitoring
Systems easier for our customers, from developer to OEM to End User.

With Asset Monitoring, and Condition Monitoring in particular, the objective of monitoring
is to trend asset wear in order to predict when and what type of maintenance is needed in
the future.

In power generation, another business reason for monitoring assets an be seen in this
chart. A large portion of power generation assets in the Americas are older than 30 years.
These rotating assets are wearing ou and have higher failure rates than newer assets.

On the other hand, newer assets are more complex…The additional complexity is driving
the need for asset monitoring within these complex assets.
