Brett Burger, Principal Solution Marketing Manager from National Instruments, explained the benefits of introducing machines (hardware and software automation) to data collection from his recent paper during an interview with ELE Times. Access his interview with the link below.

Seemingly straightforward, less touches creates quicker and more efficient processes. But to see examples of that happen in the real-world can be few and far between.
