title: NI (National Instruments) hardware and software (LabVIEW) in production
body: <p>I have worked on creating control test bed solutions in NI ecosystem. The hardware is  all NI cards plugged in NI PXIe chassis. But when it comes to production systems, I cannot understand why NI hardware/software cannot be used? The two things that come to my mind are may be cost and software qualification. In general my question is why go to standard embedded solutions when NI does the job, especially in production?</p>
  <p>P.S. Is compliance to military standards an issue when using NI systems?</p>
