Knowledge Is Power: It Takes More Than Software...

Steven Martin
August 15, 2018
In the time it takes the average person to read this sentence, 36 petabytes of IoT data, (an amount roughly equivalent to 720 million four-drawer filing cabinets filled with text) will be created. That number will double by the end of 2019. During lunch today (for those fortunate enough to take lunch), GE Power Digital’s software will successfully manage 864 million kW hours of electricity (enough to power the city of Atlanta…for 2 months).

Sign up for a new bank account or buy a new car and chances are you’ll be prompted to download corresponding apps that will give you the ability to control your finances or your car stereo from your phone. Constantly updating your phone in this way — so it’s customized to your life — is so routine at this point that most of us just take it for granted.

The Swiss-based company SIG is one of the unsung heroes on food's journey from orchards and fields to your kitchen cabinet.
That's because SIG makes packaging and machines that box food, drinks, and other products at rapid-fire rates. They can fill 9,000 large cartons, 12,000 medium cartons, or 24,000 smaller cartons with veggies, soups and other foodstuffs in the space of an hour. In 2017 alone, the equipment produced 33.6 billion cartons.

The French Connection: Digital Twins From Paris Will Protect Wind Turbines Against Battering North Atlantic Gales

Dorothy Pomerantz
April 26, 2018
In the heart of Paris, a short walk from the city’s storied opera, GE engineers are busy coding software that will allow them to create “digital twins” of machines. These virtual representations of the real machines live in the cloud and use as their lifeblood data captured from their parts. The engineers are partnering with Ansys, a leader in engineering simulation software, to digitally play out different scenarios, such as running an aircraft engine longer and in a hotter or wetter environment.

Time was, outages on the power grid were the result of downed tree limbs. Trees and branches are still an issue, but power companies increasingly are worried about hackers and computer viruses. To wit, the ominously named malware Black Energy took out a grid in Ukraine in 2015 and caused 800,000 people to lose power. The threat is only increasing — year over year, cyberattacks on industrial control systems have increased by 55 percent.

Men in Brazil, diagnosed with colorectal cancer, usually refuse the surgical removal of the colon, one of the recommended treatments. After surgery, patients are required to have a colostomy bag for the rest of their lives. This is a real concern in the body-conscious Brazilian culture.
