GE의 혁명적 진화 – <하버드 비즈니스 리뷰>리포트

2015년 2월 16일

산업인터넷은 이미 세계를 바꾸고 있으며, 더 많은 사람들이 그 사실을 인식하기 시작했다. 는 최근에 발표한 리포트에서 산업인터넷 기술을 이끌어온 GE에 대해 다루고 있다. 산업기계 즉 하드웨어 제조기업으로 명성을 떨치던 GE가 어떻게 첨단 분석기술과 데이터 사이언스에 강점을 가진 기업으로 변화하였으며, 어떻게 산업기계에 클라우드 기반 소프트웨어 플랫폼과 연결된 센서를 장착하게 되었는지 알아보자.

Wind, meet water. In Germany’s Swabian-Franconian Forest, you’ll find the world’s tallest (584 ft) and first-ever wind turbines integrated with pumped storage hydroelectric power. So how does it work? At the base of each wind turbine sits a reservoir. Water flowing downhill from the reservoirs will power the hydro plant when electricity is needed. When there’s an energy surplus, the hydro power will push the water back up the hill to the reservoirs, where it will act as a giant battery for the wind turbines. So no matter if the wind is blowing or not, electricity will always be flowing
If you had X-ray vision, how would you use it? These GE Research engineers use it to capture data from lower-than-surface-level errors in additively manufactured metal parts. Here, they’re analyzing that data, inspecting every layer of metal to find the source of the error. This process helps them design smarter software for additive manufacturing machines. Which means better, stronger parts. That's a pretty good use of a superpower, if you ask us. #AdditiveManufacturing #Data #3DPrinting
Spooky season is here, but don't let your annual mammogram scare you. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. admit to skipping breast screenings out of fear. That's why @gehealthcare engineers decided to better the experience with a mammography system designed by women, for women. Melding comforting design with cutting edge technology, the Senographe Pristina aims to humanize the process for patients, technicians, and radiologists. #BCAM #Mammography #breastcancerawareness
Colder weather is on the way. If you’re in Winnipeg, Canada, that means ice testing is too. There, @geaviation test engines are pummeled with sub-zero winds and ice. The harsh conditions on the ground make sure engines are ready to face the elements in the air. #AVgeek #jetengine #engineering
Slice into an additively-made part from @geadditive and you’ll see geometries once thought impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. Why the hype? Engineers can now find greater strength and efficiency through design. #engineering #additive #3Dprinting #manufacturing
