Every Electron Gets a Byte: Digital Power Plant Makes Electricity Smart

Tomas Kellner
October 13, 2015
Like an industrial cathedral, a power plant can be a placed filled with a special kind of serenity. Walk into the pump room that feeds high-pressure steam into turbines that make electricity and you can see sun dancing on aluminum ducts while the pumps hum to the tune of 800 horsepower.
But on this day, all is not as it seems. Sure, technicians move around purposefully, performing their normal tasks. Valves open in the right sequence like pipes on an organ. Even trained eyes can’t see anything amiss. But back in the control room, a warning box pops up on the plant operator's screen.

Paul Rogers President And Ceo Of Wurldtech
September 30, 2015

Instead of trying to guess the risk of cyber attacks, companies should view their industrial assets like an unlocked car — and simply focus on stopping attacks from occurring in the first place.

Marco Annunziata GE
September 29, 2015

The industrial app economy will spur innovation by enabling a more seamless environment for people and machines to work smarter and more efficiently together.

 

We live in a world of apps. They have become so pervasive in our daily experience that we don’t even think about it anymore: an app wakes us in the morning, and another app reports the quality of our sleep; we use apps to move around town, book restaurants and movies, track our weight and physical activity, meet friends, stream music and keep up with the news. Life is an app.
