JKI at NI Tech Days San Jose 2026

Last week, the JKI team went to NI Tech Days, NI's big event that brings together engineers, developers, and automation experts from across the test and measurement industry. Among a full lineup of live demonstrations covering everything from DAQ technology to AI powered test advisors, JKI showed one of the most important tools in the modern LabVIEW toolkit: the JKI Security Suite.

A Full Day of Demos at NI Tech Days

NI Tech Days brought together dozens of hands on demonstrations, giving attendees a close look at the latest advances in test, measurement, and automation. Highlights from the event floor included:

• NI mioDAQ for compact, high performance measurement
• PXI, InstrumentStudio, LabVIEW, and TestStand working together for faster automated test
• FlexLogger for simplified sensor measurement and data logging
• Nigel AI Advisor, NI's AI assistant for LabVIEW and TestStand development
• SystemLink for managing test results, equipment health, and reporting
• CompactRIO based control systems, electronics test benches, and ADAS/AD validation platforms
• 6G ready wireless connectivity test benches for next generation RF devices

It was a good reminder of how fast the test and measurement field is moving, and how software quality and security are becoming just as important as hardware performance.

The JKI Demo: LabVIEW Security Suite and SBOM Tool

At the JKI booth, our team demonstrated the JKI Security Suite, a tool built to help LabVIEW teams scan, manage, and fix security risks across their codebases before those risks become production problems.

Here's what we covered in the live demo:

Automated Security Scanning for LabVIEW

The JKI Security Suite runs static analysis directly on LabVIEW projects and packages, finding vulnerabilities early in development rather than after deployment.

Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Generation

For teams facing compliance requirements or working in regulated industries such as aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial automation, the Security Suite generates SBOMs automatically, giving full visibility into every dependency and package used in a LabVIEW application.

Proactive Risk Management

Rather than reacting to security issues after the fact, the JKI Security Suite helps engineering teams build security and compliance checks directly into their existing LabVIEW development workflow.

Attendees at NI Tech Days were especially interested in how the tool fits into existing CI/CD and test workflows alongside NI's own software stack, a sign that LabVIEW security and supply chain transparency are top of mind for the community.

Why This Matters for the LabVIEW Community

As LabVIEW applications grow more complex and more connected, security can no longer be an afterthought. The JKI Security Suite gives teams a practical, LabVIEW native way to:

• Find vulnerabilities before they ship
• Meet emerging SBOM and compliance requirements
• Strengthen the overall security of mission critical test systems

Thanks, NI Tech Days!

Thanks to the NI team for putting together another good event, and to everyone who stopped by to see the JKI Security Suite in action. If you missed the demo and want to see how the JKI Security Suite can help secure your LabVIEW projects, reach out to the JKI team. We would love to show you.
