EMERSON REACHES MILESTONE WITH ENHANCED AI FOR FLAGSHIP TEST AND MEASUREMENT SOFTWARE PLATFORM
merson has announced an updated version of NI Nigel AI, the industry’s first test-optimised AI technology, as well as new capabilities across its NI LabVIEW+ Suite. This iteration of Nigel AI introduces code completion and contextual awareness of test projects and local hardware to further accelerate test development. Nigel AI is available through the LabVIEW+ Suite, a complete set of purpose- built tools created to aid test engineers with built-in expertise at their fingertips.
“We recognise that the role of an engineer is far
more than just programming,” said Rudy Sengupta, vice president and general manager, NI test and analytics software, Emerson. “That’s why we created the LabVIEW+ Suite, to serve test professionals in a more comprehensive and intuitive way. The suite lets engineers carry context, configurations and data with them as they switch from task to task, saving significant time and empowering them to focus on the most valuable parts of their role.”
The new technology reflects Emerson’s vision of reimagining productivity in the age of AI, empowering test engineers to keep pace with rising expectations for speed and efficiency while unlocking new levels of innovation through tools designed expressly for their work. This iteration builds on the initial release of Nigel AI last year with new capabilities. To better serve engineers, it has been taught test system design, test methodologies and test data analysis.Emerson reaches milestone with enhanced AI for flagship test and measurement software platform
Nigel AI now has a code completion feature that suggests several intelligent next-step options during development, helping engineers select the best choice for their workflow while saving valuable programing time and avoiding
Modern user interfaces leveraging new web technologies in LabVIEW and TestStand.
Improved debugging workflows in LabVIEW with better source code control integration.
Containerisation through Docker Desktop support for Windows improving CI/CD pipelines.
Installer enhancements for faster set-up.

ABB LAUNCHES INTEGRATED CARBON CAPTURE MEASUREMENT SOLUTION TO ACCELERATE INDUSTRIAL DECARBONISATION
A
BB has announced the launch of its first fully integrated gas analyzer package for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) applications, combining three proven ABB technologies into a single, streamlined solution. The new offering provides a comprehensive, real-time measurement suite for CO₂ impurity detection and compliance across the
entire CCUS value chain. The solution will support the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries, including cement, waste-to-energy, oil refining, bioenergy, LNG, power generation, and chemicals.
The offering combines Sensi+ CCUS laser gas analyzer, GCP100 process gas chromatograph, and ACF5000 CCUS, the FTIR infrared solution, to ensure complete CO₂ stream quality from capture through transport to storage. This one-stop shop solution is designed to deliver high-precision detection of trace impurities, help operators manage CO₂ quality, protect pipelines, and ensure compliance with stringent purity standards. The offering brings together the three technologies

in a single, turnkey solution delivered in a fully equipped analyzer shelter with a modular design. This simplifies procurement, reduces engineering effort, and ensures measurement consistency across the CCUS chain.
“CCUS operations need a broad range of measurements that require a suite of highly sensitive technologies,” said Jacques Mulbert, president of
ABB’s Measurement & Analytics division. “ABB has the unique capability to fully engineer and integrate these technologies into industrial shelters, drastically reducing cost and engineering time whilst delivering high-performance and reliable turnkey CCUS solutions to its customers.”
Even minor variations in CO₂ impurities can have major operational consequences. Contaminants such as H₂S, moisture, oxygen, and inert gases can affect compressibility, increase corrosion risk, and lead to pipeline rejection. Non-compliance may result in disconnection from CO₂ networks and force operators to return emissions to the stack, incurring costly financial penalties. ABB’s
integrated analyzer suite provides continuous real- time measurement to help operators avoid these risks and maintain process integrity. The new solution brings together three established ABB analyzers, each addressing different types of impurities and measurement challenges:
Sensi+ CCUS enables rapid detection of critical contaminants with low level detection and minimal cross-interference.
GCP100 delivers advanced chromatographic analysis for non-infrared-responsive gases, with built-in cybersecurity and predictive maintenance features.
ACF5000 CCUS, leveraging over 30 years of FTIR expertise, offers broad- spectrum measurement for a wide range of CO₂-related components, even in CO₂-rich and demanding environments.

potential errors. Nigel AI also gains contextual awareness of NI LabVIEW projects and the ability to review NI TestStand sequences and access local hardware, giving engineers context- rich support that accelerates development and improves accuracy.
Further enhancements to the LabVIEW+ Suite are designed to serve the large, global community of users with new features that enhance productivity and help to meet the most challenging test requirements. New features in this release include:
