Eileen Claussen: Addressing Climate Change in the Absence of Policy

Eileen Claussen Center For Climate And Energy Solutions
November 10, 2014
For the past two decades, governments, companies and non-­governmental organizations concerned about climate change have looked to comprehensive global and national policy solutions.
 

While this approach makes sense — given that climate change is a global issue and market­-based national or international solutions would be far less expensive solutions than command and control approaches — an ambitious, binding international treaty has yet to materialize. And here in the U.S., climate change legislation doesn’t look likely for the foreseeable future.

Cultural Shift in the Industrial Internet Age — Q&A with Edward Youdell

Ed Youdell Fabricators And Manufacturers Association
October 30, 2014
The rise of the Industrial Internet and Big Data has the power to transform industries, with data captured by connected machines enabling companies to capture efficiencies across operations and potentially achieve zero downtime.
 

To realize the benefits of these technologies, however, companies need to ensure that data analytics are being applied in the most effective way and communicated to the right people. That often requires a cultural shift throughout the operations — from the C-suite to the shop floor.

William Ruh: What the Rise of Industrial Internet Means for Cyber Security

William Ruh GE
October 23, 2014
Security isn’t what it used to be. Thirty years ago, it was a fence with a locked gate and a guard posted outside a data center. Today, it’s a multi-layered strategy encompassing people, processes, devices, sensors, machines, systems and networks.
 

As the world’s markets rapidly evolve into complex hybrids of physical and digital assets, cyber security is increasingly critical as a stabilizing force. It is no longer an esoteric art practiced mainly by rival intelligence agencies and giant corporations — it has become a basic necessity of everyday life for any business.

Amit Narayan: How Data Will Power the Future of Energy

Dr Amit Narayan Autogrid Inc
October 16, 2014
Throughout history, we’ve equated energy with the consumption of natural resources such as oil, natural gas or coal.
 

In the coming decades we will start to think of data and software as a source of energy.

What do I mean by that? Software won’t generate electrons, but it will let us leverage the electricity we are already generating in a more efficient and productive way.

A New Kind of Industrial Company: GE Eyes Growth by Linking Machines, People and Data

October 08, 2014

Nobody wants to be late. But at a busy airline hub like Atlanta or Chicago, even a brief delay in aircraft arrival can result in missed connections and cascade into a major inconvenience. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported that this year alone, more than 750,000 flights operated by U.S. carriers arrived late and over 25 percent of flights were delayed by 15 minutes or more or cancelled. The estimated economic costs of these delays, both for airlines and for passengers, are in the billions.
