If there is one trend in industrial technology that highlights the emerging connection between operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT) it’s industrial technology suppliers’ increasing focus on open software platforms . Examples include Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure, Festo’s CPX Modular Control Platform, Wind River’s Titanium Control, and GE Digital’s Predix.
During a meeting with GE Digital in its San Ramon, Calif., headquarters I got a look into where Predix is currently at and where it’s going. For GE Digital, Predix is the nexus where app engines, digital twins, machine learning and asset performance management meet.
