Business technology major Huawei and GE Digital have launched their Industrial Cloud-based Predictive Maintenance solution at Hannover Messe 2017.
The new solution integrates Huawei’s Edge Computing IoT (EC-IoT) with GE’s Industrial Internet cloud platform Predix to enable connectivity between industrial assets and cloud applications.
The solution helps manufacturers to reduce maintenance costs and prevent unplanned asset downtime, as well as drive innovation in products and services by allowing real-time machine health monitoring, data analysis and perception, and smart maintenance decision-making.
“In the future, Huawei and GE will jointly accelerate the deployment of cloud-based industrial digitalized applications to enable the digital transformation of industries,” said Diana Yuan, president of Marketing and Solution Sales Department of Huawei Enterprise Business Group.
Huawei and GE announced their partnership in July 2016 and this solution is the latest achievement in their cooperation in the industrial IoT field.
The solution integrates Huawei’s EC-IoT gateways and Agile Controller, GE’s Predix platform, other partners’ sensors and controllers, and industrial applications to construct information channels between industrial networks and an interconnection platform.
“The growth of Industrial Internet depends on the cultivation of an ecosystem and a commitment to jointly build solutions to accelerate digital transformation for industry,” said Harel Kodesh, CTO of GE Digital.
Schindler, an elevator and escalator provider, will adopt the Industrial Predictive Maintenance Solution to centrally connect and manage its millions of elevators worldwide, significantly reducing equipment maintenance costs, and improving service reliability, benefiting billions of people around the world, every day.
“Using innovate technologies and our industry expertise we have built Schindler Ahead, the digital industrial platform for smart urban mobility,” said Michael Nilles, chief digital officer of Schindler.
