In the perfect business world, there would be no red ink, no broken machinery and no needless meetings. Many factory managers would also add this to the list: no inventory gathering dust on the shelf.
But the real world is still pretty messy. GE’s 500-plus factories and manufacturing sites, for example, hold billions of dollars’ worth of inventory. Those compressors, propellers, fuses, resistors and other parts take up space in warehouses that must be kept staffed, lit and maintained. All that money could be put to work more productively somewhere else.

Living On The Edge: This New Tech Completes The Industrial Internet

Danielle Merfeld Vice President General Manager Of The Niskayuna Technology Center GE Global Research
September 23, 2017
In a popular sitcom about the digital economy, a brilliant team of misfit coders and developers do valiant, if hapless, battle against a mega-corporation with unlimited resources but no inspiration. I work for a big company, but that vision of development looks like a kludgy nightmare to me, too. Thankfully, everyone at GE, from top to bottom, agreed that we should build our digital business like Thomas Edison would: through a restless drive to innovate, small teams and tight deadlines.

Like many large companies, Qantas, the Australian national carrier, has been looking for ways to become more sustainable. The airline has been introducing new lightweight freight containers to cut fuel consumption, investing in electric-powered ground vehicles, and replacing lighting in all of its operational areas with energy-efficient LEDs. But when it wanted to cut its carbon footprint even more, the solution came in large part from one of the airline’s most treasured assets: its pilots.

Susanna Kim
August 25, 2017
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.
