Industrial Systems is continuing the transformation it began in 2002 into a high-tech, faster-growth business by expanding its new platforms in sensors and security. The sensor and security markets, which are growing at two to three times GDP, do what Industrial Systems has done since the 1880s: provide peace of mind by protecting people, property and productivity.
Sensors from Industrial Systems provide monitoring, protection and control in a variety of extreme environments, from the stratosphere to the ocean floor—even inside the heart, where GE sensors are placed via catheters to help predict conditions for heart attacks and strokes.
Industrial Systems is also helping to protect the traveling public in airports with ion-based detection systems, families in their homes with award-winning wireless alert systems, and companies’ employees and assets with state-of-the-art access controls and surveillance systems. Industrial Systems is also exploring the use of advanced technologies in new fields such as healthcare and elder care, and in combination with heritage products, such as transformers and switchgear, to enhance their protective capabilities.
