1. INDUSTRIAL
INTERNET
Our feature story was contributed by our friends at the GE Software Center in San Ramon, California –
who are dedicated to helping the Industrial Internet grow over the next decade and beyond. I look
forward to publishing additional articles as the new paradigm evolves. — Editor

2. you recently picked up a copy of
the New York Times, Forbes, the
Wall Street Journal or any number
of other publications, you’ve
probably run across something
called the Industrial Internet.
SO, WHAT IS IT?
The Industrial Internet connects machines, via embedded
sensors, with advanced analytics and people at work to
enable intelligent decision making. Every day, millions of
machines critically important to daily life – from MRIs to
gas turbines to aircraft engines – share vast amounts of
information. Collecting and sifting through these bits of
information unlocks new insights into how we can more
efficiently and economically run our businesses, promote
sustainability, and boost economies around the world.
GE is helping companies across industries tap into
the powerful potential of the Industrial Internet.
The GE Software Center uses agile development
to create innovative next generation software-
based solutions that deliver dramatically better
outcomes for customers through the application of
advanced analytics and machine intelligence.
With more than 30 percent of the world economy directly
attributed to industrial activity, it is critically important
that we can better understand and interpret the language
of machines. Within the Industrial Internet, complex
optimization algorithms decide tradeoffs between
“the right repair at the right time,” for example, and the
need to avoid needless delays and cancellations.
Businesses can optimize decisions, and apply the
lessons of all components to enhance performance
and to react accordingly and automatically. With
more than 3.2 million “big things that spin” operating
in industries around the globe, the Industrial
Internet is poised to dramatically increase enterprise
profitability and productivity (Reference 1). Early
projections for the Industrial Internet are promising.
AVIATION: A reduction of 1% in jet fuel costs
would save $30 billion over 5 years.
ENERGY: At gas-fired power plants alone, efficiency
gains driven by software and network optimization
as well as more effective coordination of gas
supply to meet power system load requirements
would save $66 billion over 15 years.
HEALTHCARE: Global healthcare systems
waste at least $732 billion annually. GE
Healthcare has identified $100 billion in annual
savings driven by the Industrial Internet.
RAIL: The Industrial Internet could reduce
costs nearly 2.5%, or $5 billion a year, at
rail system operations worldwide.

3. The GE Software Center is working with more than
10,000 software developers across GE’s diverse
divisions to create services and solutions for asset
optimization and enterprise optimization under our
GE Predictivity** Industrial Internet offerings. Think of
software solutions that identify problems and issues
BEFORE they occur. The goal is to increase efficiency.
By predicting a machine’s future through analytics,
GE will help businesses eliminate downtime and
reduce waste. The analytical data could even help
develop better ways to use GE’s industrial products.
Complex systems can generate vast quantities of data
about themselves. But sheer data is a latent commodity.
Organizations able to mine data, understand context,
and get information to the right person at the right
time can make intelligent decisions in real-time vs.
after the fact. This creates a tremendous advantage
in fiercely competitive markets. Doing so requires
deep proficiency in the science of data analytics.
GE Software specializes in the creation of tools to analyze
data generated by complex systems found in domains
such as transportation, health sciences, and energy.
These tools enable customers to maximize profits by
minimizing operational costs and downtime for repair
and maintenance. Airplanes only earn revenue when
they fly, and they only fly when engines are in top shape.
The same is true for railroads and their locomotives,
health systems and their imaging and diagnostic
equipment, and energy producers with their turbines.
GE Software’s unique combination of industrial
expertise, software experts, and historical perspective is
delivering the next chapter of the Internet’s evolution.

4. Bently Nevada: At the Center
of the Industrial Internet
The work being done and the data generated
by Bently Nevada are “natural resources”
that will power the Industrial Internet.
The Industrial Internet is bringing vibration data and
diagnostics to the experts, instead of the experts
going to the data. Historically, vibration data needed
to be “reduced” and evaluated on-site by a diagnostic
expert – first with oscilloscope cameras and later with
FM tape recorders, vibration analyzers and x-y plotters.
As analog instrumentation was replaced with digital
systems, the data facilitated the use of software
analytics. And with the Industrial Internet, we are now
able to take that vibration data to the experts who
reside in Bently Nevada Remote Monitoring Centers
or at our customers’ own centralized locations.
But, how can System 1* data be mined and presented
in an automated fashion that puts the intelligence
directly in the hands of customers in a usable
fashion to better serve their need to optimize plant
production, and reduce maintenance costs?
Enter the Industrial Internet.
The mechanical vibration of gas turbines can be measured
and analyzed to predict maintenance issues before a
failure occurs. By collecting data across a significant
population of machines, we can provide new insights that
will enable condition-based maintenance and optimize
outcomes. Software engineers can identify patterns
and correlations in machine behavior through big data
analysis, convert the data into actionable insight, and
proactively alert customers when repairs need to be made
– eliminating unscheduled maintenance, maximizing
uptime, and preserving respect for the GE brand.
The Industrial Internet is changing the way we manage
and maximize global economic output. For the first
time in human history, vitally important machines
across the globe are communicating their activities
in real time. Combining these brilliant machines
with best in class analytics delivers valuable new
customer insights that were never before possible.
Fulfilling the promise of the Industrial Internet
requires a robust ecosystem of software, hardware,
and service providers. GE’s Industrial Internet
efforts are spearheaded by the GE Software
Center but cannot be successful without visionary
partners such as the Bently Nevada team.
