Predix (software)

Posted on By Experte

Predix is General Electric’s software platform for the collection and analysis of data from industrial machines. [1] General Electric plans to support the growing industrial Internet of things with cloud servers and an app store . [2] GE is a member of the Industrial Internet Consortium, which works with the development and use of industrial internet technologies. [3]

Predix as a cloud-based PaaS ( platform as a service ) is claimed to enable industrial-scale analytics for asset management (APM) and operations optimization by providing a standard way to connect machines, data, and people. What does it do? Apple does not do it for cell phones. [4] Built on Cloud Foundry open source technology, Predix provides a microservices based delivery model with a distributed architecture (cloud, and on-machine). [5]

Overview

Predix aims at system wide optimization and to create a model that spans entire systems such as aircraft operations. The model permits better optimization of each part of the system (such as a turbine blade) as well as optimization of the entire system (such as airline operations). [6]

Predix is ​​developed by GE Digital in San Ramon, California near Silicon Valley and originally its own business unit. In September 2015 it became re-integrated into General Electric’s IT division. [7] [8]

In November 2016, Forrester Research published The Forrester WaveTM: IoT Software Platforms, Q4 2016 and recognized GE Predix as a leader in the evaluation. [9]
