ANALYTICS
INDUSTRIAL INTERNET POWERING
LOCOMOTIVE PERFORMANCE
GE’s RailConnect 360 Monitoring and Diagnostics (M&D) solution
helps rail freight operators transport essential goods more
reliably and cost-effectively. It’s one of the fi rst applications
of the Predix software platform developed by our Software
Center in San Ramon, California, designed to connect hard assets
like trains to the Industrial Internet. By analyzing performance
data, the RailConnect 360 M&D system enables proactive repairs
and more informed routing decisions for customers like Vale,
a global mining company headquartered in Brazil. The system
has helped maximize Vale’s locomotive productivity, reducing
shop cycle time and increasing line availability.
REINVENTING IMAGING
FOR BETTER PATIENT CARE
New healthcare challenges — such as demands
for greater access to care, reduced reimburse-
ments, and regulatory changes — require new
thinking. GE Healthcare is collaborating with
UPMC, an $11 billion global health enterprise
with 22 hospitals and 3,500 physicians serving
nearly 2.3 million plan members, to use innova-
tive science, technology and medicine
to invent new models of accountable, cost-
effi cient, patient-centered care. Teams from
UPMC and GE, working together at UPMC’s
Technology Development Center in Pittsburgh,
will reimagine imaging workfl ow using
cloud-enabled technology to improve the way
providers archive, access and interpret MRIs,
CT scans and other imaging modalities.
