‘2020 GE 글로벌 혁신지표’ 조사 – 인공지능(AI)가 현재와 미래 성장, 생산성에 큰 영향을 미칠 것

2020년 10월 16일

GE는 한국을 포함해 전세계 혁신을 담당하는 임원들을 대상으로 혁신에 대한 인식을 조사한 ‘2020 GE 글로벌 혁신지표: 혁신을 탐구하다’를 발표했다. 조사에 따르면, 글로벌 리더들은 혁신하는 데 있어 단기 수익이나 트렌드 보다는 장기적인 관점에서 접근하며, 지속가능한 미래를 창출하고 사회와 환경에 선한 영향력을 미치는 것이 중요하다는 인식을 가지고 있다. 또, 디지털전환 시대를 맞이해, 인공지능(AI), 빅데이터와 같은 첨단 디지털 기술이 미래 혁신을 주도하는 핵심적인 역할을 할 것으로 진단했다. GE코리아 강성욱 총괄사장은 “코로나19와 팬데믹 이전부터 지속된 무역분쟁, 보호무역주의 기조 등으로 대변되는 글로벌 사업 환경에서 기업들의 고민이 더욱 커지고 있는 가운데, 리더들이 지속가능한 성장과 사회적, 환경적 가치 혁신에 주목하고 있다. 이는 최근 기업들이 ESG(환경.사회책임.지배구조) 경영을 강조하고

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
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
New winds are blowing off the coast of Yorkshire, where @gerenewableenergy just signed a deal to provide 190 Haliade-X 13 MW units for the first two phases of the Dogger Bank wind farm. This deal marks the first contract agreement for GE’s Haliade-X platform, a 13 MW uprated version of the successful prototype in Rotterdam. With a 220-meter rotor and 107-meter blades, the Haliade-X is the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation. #renewableenergy #wind #windturbine #windfarm #engineering #renewables
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
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
