Emerson Acquires Glue To Expand AI-Powered Test And Measurement Capabilities
Article excerpt
Emerson has acquired Glue, a developer of AI-enabled test and validation software, as the global automation company continues expanding the software-defined and data-centric capabilities of its NI Test & Measurement portfolio. Glue developed Glue Studio, a software platform that applies specialized AI capabilities to test generation, test planning, and engineering validation. Emerson plans to integrate those capabilities with NI Nigel AI, its domain-specific AI system designed specifically for test and measurement workflows. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The acquisition gives Emerson additional technology for addressing a part of the engineering process that can be complex and time-consuming. Product validation often involves developing test plans, defining requirements, generating tests, analyzing results, and maintaining traceability between what engineers originally designed and what ultimately passed verification. By applying AI across those workflows, Emerson aims to help engineering teams automate more of the planning and validation processes while providing users with context-aware assistance, rather than relying solely on general-purpose AI tools. Nigel is already embedded directly within NI software and is trained in areas including test system design, testing methodologies, and data analysis. Emerson designed the system as a specialized AI...
