Emerson and Tata Elxsi co-hosted the Leadership Forum 2025 in Bengaluru to discuss the application of artificial intelligence in test and measurement processes across manufacturing sectors. The event, held at The Leela Palace, focused on the use of AI in validation workflows, including predictive diagnostics and autonomous testing.
The forum’s sessions explored the integration of AI across stages of product development—from prototyping to production. Discussions included approaches to using real-world data to improve performance and product quality. The event aimed to address how AI is shifting traditional validation systems to more predictive and automated models that meet evolving manufacturing standards.
Ritu Favre, Group President of Emerson’s Test and Measurement business, stated, “NI’s open, modular and flexible platform delivers differentiated value to our customers that enables them to reach their business goals now and sets them up for future success. We are excited to share our vision for the future of test and measurement, including how we will harness the power of AI and continue to innovate across our industry leading portfolio of integrated hardware and software.”
Tata Elxsi, which provides engineering services for sectors including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices, participated in the sessions with Emerson to outline their joint focus on AI-led validation systems.
Nitin Pai, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Strategy Officer at Tata Elxsi, said: “AI is transforming test and measurement from a process-driven function to an intelligence-driven advantage. It’s no longer just about automation – it’s about self-learning, adaptability, and precision at scale. At Tata Elxsi, we are embedding AI into the core of validation and quality engineering, enabling businesses to move faster, make smarter decisions, and set new standards for reliability in an increasingly software-defined world.”
The event also included networking sessions for participants from multiple industries to exchange insights on manufacturing and quality engineering challenges.
According to the company, Emerson’s Test and Measurement business (formerly NI) provides automated systems connected by software, used to accelerate product development and ensure product reliability.
