산업인터넷, 모든 것을 바꾼다 (2부) – GE 수석 이코노미스트를 만나다

2014년 7월 28일

GE의 수석 이코노미스트 마르코 아눈지아타에게 제조기술의 혁신과 미래의 업무방식인 퓨처오브워크(The Future of Work)에 관해 들어본다. 산업인터넷, 첨단제조 기술 그리고 글로벌브레인(크라우드 소싱)으로 대변되는 퓨처오브워크는 앞으로 수년 동안 경제 분야에서 변화의 중심이 될 핵심 개념이다. 그는 이제 우리는 정말로 기본으로 돌아가서 혁신과 기술•인프라•교육에 집중해야 한다고 말한다.

산업인터넷, 모든 것을 바꾼다 (1부) – GE 수석 이코노미스트 아눈지아타를 만나다

마르코 아눈지아타(Marco Annunziata)는 GE의 수석 이코노미스트다. 과학기술 전문가가 아닌 경제 전문가는 GE에서 어떤 일을 하는 것일까. 경제 전문가인 그가 2013년 10월 TED에서 산업인터넷에 관한 연설을 하였고, 이 발표는 많은 사람들의 관심을 받았다. GE 리포트에서 그에게 산업인터넷에 대한 질문을 던졌다. 산업인터넷의 경제적인 의미를 들어보자.

This Ultra Performance Heat Exchanger is a perfect example of how small parts can make a HUGE difference. Still in development, the additively manufactured compact heat exchanger is printed with a high-temperature capable, crack-resistant nickel superalloy that will be able to withstand temps that exceed 1,650°F at pressures >3,600 psi. Good thing, too, because it’s headed straight for the inside of a gas turbine, where it’s projected to deliver a 4% improvement in thermal efficiency for supercritical C02 power cycles while improving power output and reducing emissions. Cleaner, more efficient power generation here we come.
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
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
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
