● “Industrial Superheroes” take
center stage as global companies deploy mission-critical software
to tackle day-to-day business and plan for the future
● GE Digital prepares to welcome
GE Aviation Digital to the team with analytics solutions aligned to
the company’s mission
● More than 20 Power Generation,
Oil & Gas, Grid Utility, Manufacturing, and Aviation customers
share Digital Transformation stories
GE Digital today begins a three-day virtual User Conference
featuring stories of companies in multiple industries on their path
to digital transformation: enabling more renewable energy on the
grid; reducing emissions; increasing plant productivity; adapting
to demand, and keeping their teams safe. The conference will
feature sessions from GE Digital executives, partners, and
customers.
“We have had a year of unprecedented challenges, in our personal
lives, in our communities, and in our industries,” said Pat Byrne,
GE Digital CEO. “The determination and commitment companies around
the world have mustered is unmatched in modern business. How we
exercise leadership through uncertain times matters even more than
how we lead when times are good. It’s heroic and it’s important.
Successful leaders are resilient, they create competitive advantage
by streamlining their systems and processes, and by building
sustained capabilities within their organizations. With this
conference, we are recognizing those leaders as ‘Industrial
Superheroes.’”
Participating in the User Conference and joining GE Digital will
be GE Aviation’s Digital team. They plan to align their Software as
a Service (SaaS) business with GE Digital later this year. “This
team brings deep domain knowledge in aviation and flight analytics
to GE Digital with data-driven insights for commercial airlines,
business jet operators, and military to reduce operational costs,
empower crew, and improve passenger experience,” continued Byrne.
“This connects well to our GE Digital purpose: Transforming how
industry solves its toughest challenges by putting industrial data
to work.”
Through the theme of “From Resilience to Innovation,” GE Digital
highlights the challenges faced by “Industrial Superheroes,” most
notably the urgent need for digital tools coupled with the concern
that custom software is expensive and too slow to implement.
Additional challenges include the struggle to make data actionable
when organizations and data are siloed and the need to quickly and
continually demonstrate the value of a software investment.
In each of the industries GE Digital serves, solutions are
designed and delivered to help customers manage these shifting
realities. Digital transformation is accelerating – and to meet the
needs of companies on their digital journey, GE Digital has
introduced 17 new products this year, all designed to meet current
and future challenges head on, in partnership with customers,
leaning into proven technology while continually innovating – at
unparalleled speed and scale.
In conjunction with the User Conference, GE Digital introduces
four new products: Visual Intelligence for Electric Utilities,
Remote Operations and Operations Performance Management solutions
for the Power Generation industry, and upgrades to industry-leading
Digital Plant solutions Proficy Operations Hub, iFIX HMI/SCADA,
Proficy Historian, and Proficy Plant Applications.
“Where organizations are on their digital transformation journey
varies,” said Colin Parris, GE Digital CTO, “but all share the
common goal of making our businesses smarter, leaner, and more
profitable. We can create new technologies, we can build powerful
solutions and scale them like never before, but if there’s no clear
path to value, no clear return on investment, all we’re building
are barriers. This is especially true in the world of industrial
IoT, where innovation is often seen more as evolution than
revolution.”
The concept of Software is Mission Critical will also be
addressed in a presentation by Parris entitled, “The Future of
Digital.” Parris will discuss digital twins, technology that GE
Digital has delivered for more than 20 years, providing real value
to customers through reduced operations and maintenance costs, as
well as avoided downtime. He will also talk about new AI / ML
initiatives like Humble AI, Digital Ghosts, and “Twins that
Talk.”
The Conference will feature industry tracks with sessions
including lean and continuous improvement, Enabling Renewables and
Distributed Resources, Ensuring Plant Continuity and Worker Safety
During COVID-19, and Regaining Passenger Trust and Confidence
Through Blockchain Technology. There will also be industry-focused
roundtables moderated by business executives. In addition,
attendees will be able to attend product demonstrations and
participate in live Q&A sessions with subject matter
experts.
“Our 1000+ dedicated software engineers, plus 4,000 professional
services, managed services, and support staff are industrial
experts,” concluded Byrne. “We know how to build the right
products, implement flawlessly, and guide our customers to success.
Our unparalleled expertise, exceptional software, global presence,
and scalability lets us embed with customers, anywhere in the
world. This User Conference demonstrates our commitment to those
customers, helping them navigate this changing world and take
advantage of the future with Digital Transformation.”
