How A 10-Minute Conversation With A Machine Saved $12 Million

Colin Parris Vice President For Software Research GE Global Research
January 17, 2017

Unscheduled airplane maintenance is an $8 billion headache for fliers and the global airline industry. But a machine's Digital Twin — a replica built with AI and a human mind — can minimize this. The Digital Twin, whether we’re talking jets or steam turbines, is an example of the industrial IoT that’s changing the world, writes Colin J.

Beth Comstock: 6 ways companies can be faster, smarter and more adaptive

December 22, 2016
By the time you’ve gathered enough information to make a decision, the time to make that decision has already passed. This has been a periodic problem faced by managers for decades, but with the speed and volatility we face today, it’s become our default condition. How to adapt? By taking a page from nature. In the second post of a new series on Medium, Beth Comstock, Vice Chair at GE, explores six ways companies can mimic nature so that an understanding of emerging problems and their solutions happens in real time and at market speed.

Digital Energy: How The Cloud Is Helping This Desert Utility Keep The Lights On

March 29, 2016
GE Healthcare engineers in Finland have recently started working on a predictive software system that could one day collect human vital signs like blood pressure, temperature and breathing rate, and feed the data into a secure database for analysis. That information would be used to build individualized digital twins for each patient. The data would live in the cloud and could help spot health problems before they get out of hand.

From Gigabytes To Gigawatts: The Power Plant Of The Future Will Look Like Like This

Dorothy Pomerantz
December 11, 2015
Over the next decade, the global population is expected to grow by 1 billion people to more than 8 billion, and everyone will need electricity. GE expects demand for power to grow 50 percent over the next 20 years, by an additional 3,000 gigawatts (GW) of power-generation capacity.
Getting there will require some creative engineering — both reimagining the usual suspects like turbines and generators as well as deploying new cloud-based digital tools and data analytics. GE has a few ideas.
