Introducing the Industrial Internet

Fuel & Carbon Solutions

GE's Fuel and Carbon Solution (F&CS) use onboard computers, sophisticated software and proprietary analytics to optimize jet fuel use, reduce operating costs, and cut carbon dioxide emissions. If an average-sized airline used F&CS to achieve a 2% improvement in fuel consumption, it would be equivalent to removing more than 10,000 cars from our roads.

Hospital Operations Management

GE's Hospital Operations Management (HOM) integrates bed assignment, departmental workflow, patient flow, transport, and equipment management to reduce wait times and enable more efficient quality care to be delivered throughout a patient's stay, from admissions to discharge. HOM can save hospitals both time and money, plus help reduce the inefficiencies that cost hospitals millions of dollars each year.

Grid IQ™ Solutions as a Service

GE's Grid IQ SaaS allows utilities to monitor, manage and control their grid more intelligently without worrying about the ongoing IT costs. Using a cloud computing services model, these capabilities can be deployed in 50% less time than traditional turnkey project models with just 10% of the estimated implementation cost.

Flex Efficiency Advantage

GE's Flex Efficiency Advantage performs real-time monitoring on power generation equipment. Power plants can react to changes in power demands, grid conditions and fuel supply as they occur, adjusting the amount of energy needed and where it comes from. A 5% increase in energy output can deliver a total of $1 billion in new value for power plants.

Rail Network Optimization

Norfolk Southern estimates that every 1 mph increase in the speed its freight moves saves as much as $200 million in annual capital and operating expenses. GE utilizes analytics to give real-time access to critical information so railroads can move more freight faster and more intelligently.

Real-Time Operational Intelligence

GE's Real Time Operational Intelligence (RtOI) software gives manufacturers a plant-wide perspective on operations, enabling them to proactively detect and predict factors that could have a harmful impact on the end product. Increased efficiency for the workforce can help reduce recalls by nearly 20% making manufacturers less susceptible to the $10 million in brand damage typically associated with a product recall.
