Get Your Software Kicks on Predix: GE Opens the World’s First Industrial App Marketplace

Kristin Kloberdanz
September 30, 2015
Consumers think nothing of tapping the screen of their smartphone to instantly stream “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd, track an exercise and diet regimen, or download Candy Crush. But there’s no app store for software needed for power plants, automobile factories or other industrial environments.
For years, consumers have enjoyed a glut of cloud-hosted apps, but software for heavy industry has lagged behind other sectors in following suit. That has limited not only those who need industrial software apps, the users, but also those who write them, the engineers.

Marco Annunziata: The Industrial App Economy Is Ready for Its Download

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.

September 27, 2015
There wasn’t much talk of Messi but a lot of conversations involving machines talking to machines in certain corners of Barcelona in mid-September, when more than 4,000 humans from over 50 countries converged on this Catalan city for the inaugural Internet of Things Solutions World Congress. This week, the digital caravan moves to San Francisco, where GE is holding its annual Minds + Machines conference in San Francisco – the font of Internet disruption.

Wind in the Cloud? How the Digital Wind Farm Will Make Wind Power 20 Percent More Efficient

September 27, 2015
Few people embody the backyard inventor better than Charles Brush. In 1887, he built behind his mansion in Cleveland, Ohio, a 4-ton wind generator with 144 blades and a comet-like tail, and used it to power a set of batteries in his basement. Although by today’s standards the huge, 60-foot machine was massively inefficient, it started a new industry that pushed generations of engineers to make it better. Now GE has decided to go further and improve on the entire wind farm in one fell swoop.

Can Big Data Prevent Epidemics? — Interview with Carlo Ratti of the MIT Senseable City Laboratory

Carlo Ratti Mit Senseable City Laboratory
August 06, 2015

Big Data holds the potential to revolutionize healthcare — improving care, reducing costs, even alerting us to the threat of epidemics before they occur.

 

What if we could predict disease? That long sought-after goal — and the major implications it would have for the quality and cost of healthcare — was the genesis of a recent study by MIT researchers.

Jared Weiner The Future Hunters
July 01, 2015

Despite the promise of the Internet of Things to redefine how we interact with the things around us, the reality may be closer to many competing Intranets of Things — each with its own network of users and products.
