Advanced Software & Data Visualization Cater To All Industrial Segments

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Industrial automation and data visualization are helping airlines improve fuel efficiency by processing company data and data from the National Airspace System.

Airlines now crunch real time data related to flight times, arrival times, flight numbers, origins, arrival cities, weather conditions, wind speed and other critical variables. This has led to changes in flight plans and patterns, more efficient approaches, decreasing expenses for airlines that survive on very low margins and reducing their carbon footprint.

The same is being done for US public and private organizations seeking to better understand healthcare performance across communities, the Chinese exploration of the rise of breast cancer as it compares to the US, wastewater treatment plants, filling systems in lubricants plants and more.

Calling Up, Analyzing & Visualizing In A Snap

“Any way you want it. That’s the way you need it. Any way you want it” may be lyrics to an ’80’s rock ‘n roll song, but they could be General Electric’s GE Fanuc factory automation technology mission statement that increasingly includes advanced data visualization.

Now that digitized information is generated throughout factories, managers can view operations in “virtual plants” which can be accessed anywhere, anytime and in just the way they need it.

Customizing Viewing and Analyzing Information

GE’s automation technology includes advanced software, controllers, embedded systems, motion control, CNCs, operator interfaces, industrial computers, and lasers. These systems have redundancy, failover protection and synchronized real-time data about every aspect of the company’s entire network. These elements become part of an integration system for the production and maintenance of processes, continuous evaluation of business critical efficiencies and real time improvements.

GE’s offerings include diagnostic and development tools and connectivity and security solutions that help customers avoid expensive equipment failures and reduce the cost of asset management and maintenance all while deployed in the harshest and least hospitable environments encountered in industrial manufacturing.

Open Architecture, Client/Server Set Up & Modularity

Automating manufacturing can be a huge project, but now plant operators can upgrade individual components as needed.

Finally, GE FANUC’s software saves all process data, including temperatures, fill levels, ingredient, input, raw material codes, you name it, along with all historical and global online data.
