Ask industry leaders about the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and they’ll tell you it will revolutionize business. But ask them what they’re doing to prepare for that revolution, and they’ll acknowledge their organizations don’t have a strong plan in place.

Last summer, a small team of volcano experts supported by the Nicaraguan government and equipped with GE’s digital technology climbed down the gaping maw of Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano. They created the world’s first only zipline into an active volcano, plunging over 1,200 feet just above a huge, heaving lava lake where temperatures regularly exceed 1,000 degrees Celsius. The system allowed the crew to install and reposition wireless sensors that collect pressure, tremors, humidity levels and other data.

August 25, 2017
The Industrial Internet of Things is transforming industry today. It’s not a far-off dream. Digital industrial leaders that got on board early have been rewarded with improvements to their top and bottom lines. Estimates have productivity gains from the Industrial IoT adding a sizable $10 trillion to $15 trillion to global GDP — the size of today’s U.S. economy — in coming years.
It’s exciting for us at GE Digital to see our investments pay off. But we also should pause to take stock of our progress and refocus on what remains to be done.

Renewable Energy Makes Things Tough On The Grid, But New Software Could Help

Bruce Watson
June 13, 2017
Many energy experts view Europe as a sort of crystal ball for the energy industry — one that’s showing a decidedly mixed future.
