- Predictivity™ harnesses the power of the Industrial Internet to connect people, machines, and industrial big data, to deliver better outcomes
- Malaysian “iCenter”, one of three oil and gas global centers, monitors over 800 gas turbines and compressors in 27 countries
The team can gain such insights because of Predix, a powerful new software platform developed by GE specifically to connect people, data and machines over the Industrial Internet.
Working in the late 1700s, Spallanzani showed that blindfolded bats could still catch flies and find their way around. But they failed miserably when he sealed up their ears. His discovery of the bat’s “sixth sense,” called echolocation, launched the science of ultrasound.

Sweat can be a smelly messenger, but one that also carries a trove of valuable information about how our bodies are feeling. Scientists at several labs are now trying to pick its lock with nanotechnology, including know-how transferred from GE’s jet engine research, to develop flexible, Band-Aid-like wireless sensors sensitive enough to detect a drop of biomolecules found in sweat in 2.5 million gallons of water.
