GE said Thursday that it is offering a slew of new industrial services and technologies that incorporate diagnostic software and data analytics, all part of what the company is calling the industrial Internet. The nine new services are designed to help airlines, railroads, hospitals, manufacturing and energy companies operate more efficiently, by analyzing data collected by networks of sensors embedded in rail cars, airplanes and other industrial environments.
“The next holy grail is about decision support and analytics,” GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt said. He introduced the products at a company event in San Francisco, where he was joined by executives from a number of customers, such as Alaska Airlines, Norfolk Southern, San Diego Gas and Electric and Mount Sinai Hospital.
GE is not the only company looking at how software analytics, Big Data and the Internet can help companies achieve operational efficiency. It’s an idea that has been discussed by others for years. Yet, the company is investing $1 billion into these and other new service offerings which are available now. Customers such as Norfolk Southern, Shell, Mount Sinai Hospital Air Asia and JHP Pharmaceuticals said they are on board.
