The French Connection: Digital Twins From Paris Will Protect Wind Turbines Against Battering North Atlantic Gales

In the heart of Paris, a short walk from the city’s storied opera, GE engineers are busy coding software that will allow them to create “digital twins” of machines. These virtual representations of the real machines live in the cloud and use as their lifeblood data captured from their parts. The engineers are partnering with Ansys, a leader in engineering simulation software, to digitally play out different scenarios, such as running an aircraft engine longer and in a hotter or wetter environment.

The Cameri plant employs eight specialized hourly workers feeding the machines with powder, removing and cleaning the printed parts, and doing maintenance. There are also nine manufacturing engineers, who keep improving the production process. Says one of the engineers, Dario Mantegazza, about 3D printing: “You have the ultimate manufacturing freedom.”

Vive La Révolution Digitale: A Parisian Suburb Started Testing A Renewable Energy Blockchain

March 27, 2017
The Jean Jaurès elementary school in the town of Rueil-Malmaison outside of Paris is full of French charm. Light streams into a room on the second floor through colored glass casting playful reflections on the floor. Like all schools, the place is an incubator for young brains but also for a piece of cutting-edge technology: the world’s first “green” blockchain.

Ping-Pong tables and foosball aren’t the sorts of things people typically associate with a 124-year-old company that builds turbines for power plants and engines for planes. But they are part of the package at GE’s new “Digital foundry” that opened a short walk from beaux-arts halls of the Paris Opera this summer. “You are surrounded by these contrasts of old and new; years of deep expertise and the desire to chart the future,” said Adrien Rivierre, a media manager at the place who recently showed GE Reports around. “This is the most interesting place to work in the city.”

New “Digital Foundry” In Paris Expands GE’s Global Software Footprint

When Credit Lyonnais built itself a grand new office near the Opera in the center of Paris in the 1870s, it used a piece of the Louvre as a model and commissioned Gustave Eiffel’s atelier to design its soaring glass canopy.
Even today, the building remains a big draw for new generations of engineers. Except this breed doesn’t use steel beams and glass to shape the world. They write software to control machines.
