We can change maintenance to be condition-based maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, even GE had to adjust its culture to grapple with such challenges. \u201cGE had to change,\u201d Greg said. \u201cIn setting changing who we are, we started with creating a Software Center of Excellence in San Ramon. This is now GE Digital, as we went from 0 to 1,600 people in (San Ramon).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GE-Predix-Southwest-Airlines.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12181\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GE-Predix-Southwest-Airlines-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"GE Predix Southwest Airlines\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12181\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>GE\u2019s engines endure a number of unique stresses with its customers. Southwest Airlines, for example, doesn\u2019t stop running its engines with all the short flights in its schedule, Greg noted. In a separate challenge, Dubai-based Emirates \u201cflies the first 500 feet of its takeoffs in Dubai through sand,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can adopt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GE\u2019s work in the airline industry extends to airports as well. In San Diego, for example, traditional runway lamp posts are being replaced by LED lights, \u201cand we\u2019re putting in sensors (to detect and analyze) vibrations,\u201d Greg said. \u201cSensors are cheap,\u201d he noted, \u201c(and can be considered to be) even free if you consider the benefits of using them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GE is also the world\u2019s largest manufacturer of renewable energy wind farms. In this business, \u201cwe wanted to allow each wind farm to talk to each other,\u201d Greg said. \u201cIn doing so, we enabled them to generate 8% more power just with a small iteration on software.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_up\"><\/span>Open up!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Greg said the next step will be \u201ca transformational moment for GE\u2014to have an open platform.\u201d Predix will thus not be limited to GE systems, but the company plans to \u201cenable even our competitors to build in our environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GE-the-predix-platform-v2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12094\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GE-the-predix-platform-v2.png\" alt=\"GE-the-predix-platform-v2\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12094\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Greg also answered a few questions from the audience:<\/p>\n<p><b>Q:<\/b> Is it running on AWS?<br \/>\n<b>A:<\/b> We don\u2019t think AWS is secure enough for this kind of data. Predix is running on its own infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p><b>Q:<\/b> What will happen with existing customers of GE?<br \/>\n<b\/>A:<\/b> There is a migration path. Historians now becoming part of the platform. Over the next 5\u201310 years, we will migrate all of our existing customers from legacy products to Predix. <\/p>\n<p><b>Q:<\/b> How does Predix help its users to deal with silos, hundreds of file formats and standards?<br \/>\n<b>A:<\/b> One of GE\u2019s prime design principles is to focus on interoperability. Industrial systems are very diverse. We hope that developer community will build apps that capture. We are talking with all major ERP vendors. There is a nice mashup of PLM, repair history for equipment. <\/p>\n<p><b>Q:<\/b> How do you make this platform easy for users develop applications in specific verticals?<br \/>\n<b>A:<\/b> In the environments that we operate, we not only will be providing application hosting platform, but microservices that can help with app development.
