BFM Innovation@Work Documentary Series: Industrial Internet

August 27, 2017
The era of Industrial Internet is approaching and fast. GE is connecting its machines to the internet as this holds the potential to transform the modern economy and bring substantial economic benefits – faster economic growth and higher living standards to our nation. Despite the rapid increase of connectivity between people and devices over the past two decades, only 1 percent of the world is actually connected.

The Boy Who Beeps

August 24, 2017
Imagine living in a world where every single electrical device you see is connected to the internet. A world where machines can talk to one another and tell us what they know.
GE is changing the conversations with Industrial Internet. GE is connecting a network of intelligent machines which will transform businesses as dramatically as the consumer Internet has changed our lives. GE is bringing together industrial engineering with sensors, software and big data analytics to create brilliant machines.

The Industrial Internet

We are fast approaching a time when machines will be able to communicate and coordinate with each other in entirely new ways. These machines will be able to optimize efficiencies, reduce costs and bring products and services to markets faster. Called the “Industrial Internet,” this new way of doing business is revolutionizing how decisions will be made and generating value. But, what does the Industrial Internet mean in the real world, for example, in the end-to-end development, delivery and performance of a wind turbine?

Power in Numbers: How The Industrial Internet is Helping Solve Pakistan’s Electricity Shortage

November 02, 2015
Shahid Abdullah has been in business long enough to spot a good opportunity. Abdullah is the president of the Sapphire Group, one of Pakistan’s largest textile companies with 16,000 employees, $800 million in annual revenues, and a global base of customers. But when his country started running out of electricity a decade ago, he switched gears and built a large power plant in Muridke, just north of Pakistan’s second largest city Lahore. “Moving into power generation was a step that made sense,” he says.

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.

A Date with Data: Taking Stock of the Emerging Digital Industrial Economy

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.

If Ships Could Fly:  Big Data Dawn on the High Seas

July 06, 2015
A seaborne locomotive sounds like a crazy idea, but engineer Andy McKeran, who designs heavy-duty offshore equipment at GE, might give it another look. “One of the big benefits of working here is that someone in some other part of the company may have already solved your problem,” he says. “We call it the GE store, except that you don’t have to buy the solution, you get it free.”
