No Screw Left Unexamined: This Digital Test Bed Can Track the Lives of Machines

October 03, 2015
New machines may not have souls, but they do have lives. Tracking them is the idea behind the Industrial Digital Thread Testbed. This mouthful of a name hides a clear goal: give each machine and even individual parts a digital “birth certificate,” track them through their lifetime, and make sure that the information is properly recorded. “It will give us the digital story of a part’s life from birth to death,” says Dave Bartlett, chief technology officer of GE Aviation. “This has never existed before at this level. Previously, records were disjointed and … very hard to pull together.”

3D Printing the Soul and Other Ideas From the Final Frontier — Q&A with Adam Steltzner of NASA

Adam Steltzner Fellow At The Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory
October 02, 2015

The Industrial Internet faces perhaps it’s biggest challenge in space — though also some of the greatest opportunities for breakthroughs in machine-to-machine communication and Big Data analytics.

The explosion of data being emitted from everything from hospital monitors to deep-sea oil wells to jet engines is demanding increasingly robust Big Data analytical tools. But perhaps the greatest test for collecting and analyzing data is at the “final frontier,” with the challenges of beaming back information and images from space expeditions.

Video: Gen. Alexander on Keeping the Industrial Internet Safe

Now, in the private sector, he’s helping industrial companies protect themselves against hackers. He says that as the number of connected machines and devices grows, so will the potential lines of attack. He sees the vulnerabilities not so much on the enterprise side, but in connected industrial operations – one of fastest growing segments of the Industrial Internet.

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.
