June 16, 2014
Blowout preventers, or BOPs, are massive machines that sit on the sea floor thousands of feet below the surface and serve as the last line of defense if something in an undersea oil well goes wrong. As a rule of thumb, workers will routinely replace as many as 20 percent of their parts to keep them safe, effectively rebuilding the entire machine every five years.

Brilliant Machines Will Have the Industrial Internet Written All Over Themselves

June 01, 2014

If you feel that the world has become a buzzing beehive of connectivity, wait a few years. A recent report from CISCO estimates that only a small fraction of the devices that could be talking to each other - 10 billion out of 1.5 trillion, or just 0.6 percent - are actually connected.

This Software Can Read the Minds of Giant Subsea Machines

May 07, 2014

Blowout preventers, or BOPs, are incredibly complex machines that sit deep on the sea floor and serve as the last line of defense if something in the oil well goes wrong.

These 250,000-pound, 60-foot steel behemoths have to be regularly pulled up, inspected and serviced. As a rule of thumb, workers often replace as many as 20 percent of their parts to keep them safe, effectively rebuilding the entire machine every five years. “That’s one way to do it,” says Bob Judge, director of product management at GE Oil & Gas.
