Industrial Data Intelligence, Industrial Production Moneyball

Not so long ago in the industrial world, it was common to see gigabytes of data as thousands of sensors in every imaginable part of the industrial process was measured, again and again, relentless in its search to control the complicate processes we have come to take for granted – unfailing jet engines, fail safe nuclear power plants, high speed and faultless power generation and oil production are just a few. Today the power of the industrial data intelligence is the MoneyBall approach taken by these industries which in the past were simply inundated with tremendous amounts of data have the capability to  correct and improve their processes and ultimately profits for the corporation.

General Electric, a pioneer in the jet engine development and manufacturing has been using the power of Industrial Data Intelligence to streamline its many military grade industrial processes from cutting rotors, to blade generation from single crystals and much more in its armory of products and processes. More so, the ability to take a “moneyball” approach has made the most impact in the maintenance and security of its propulsion systems by improving its uptime, reliability, efficiencies and overall cost of ownership for their customers.  In a typical flight, more than several terabytes of data is produced by each engine, and with the sophisticated software from their sister division, Smart Signal they can turn that terabyte into useful information, helping to predict possible failure points along the propulsion continuum and ensuring safety and savings for its clients.  With their premier analytics package, Proficy, users can tame the wild and unexpected fluctuations in their equipment and processes from anywhere across the Internet.  Control and Manage from a world away.  For an overview of the product, go to Proficy.
