Brilliant Factory Background: Across the Company, there is an exciting convergence taking place between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). The meeting of software and hardware is connecting factory floors to “The Cloud” and igniting a third industrial revolution in manufacturing. At GE Global Research, we have a dedicated global team in advanced manufacturing working across GE’s industrial businesses to transform our ~400 manufacturing and services plants into Brilliant Factories. We’re combining our decades of experience in developing advanced manufacturing processes, sensors, and inspection and modeling tools with our deep expertise in operations, supply chain management, factory quality as well as IT tools and the software analytics now residing in the Software Center of Excellence in San Ramon, California to make this transformation happen. At the same time, we’re increasingly working with industrial, academic and government partners outside GE in the US and around the world to advance this next evolution in manufacturing. We are seeing a rise in manufacturing ecosystems that will speed up innovation and adoption, and are actively engaged to open up supply chains to new players and technologies. GE business applications: GE’s advanced manufacturing team is working across all of GE’s businesses to transform our manufacturing operations with the right tools and processes across the broad spectrum of factory operations that exist within GE. We’re enabling factories to be constantly learning, continually optimizing their throughput, productivity and efficiency, and providing valuable feedback to our design teams to enhance the next set of product and service offerings. This involves digitally connecting all parts of the manufacturing supply chain from the engineering teams to the factory floor and suppliers to the service shops. We want to create a continuous loop of data sharing and feedback between all of these teams and operations that will enable real-time decision-making and feedback on how to improve a manufacturing process or even the product itself. We currently have dozens of pilots underway at a variety of manufacturing facilities, testing out tools, analytics, software, IT infrastructure, and optimization platforms. These pilots validate the technology and impact, and then are rolled out across factories with similar missions and needs. Pilot proof-points are increasing monthly as we learn, build and succeed in the building blocks of our vision. Examples include: • Developmentofareal-timeschedulingsystemthatallowsusto adjust part flow decisions every day to ensure on-time delivery of our products. This app is now being commercialized through GE’s Intelligent Platform (IP) business. It will be scaled up within GE and with strategic partners. In multiple facilities across the globe we have connected equipment virtually to continuously monitor and optimize processes at the machine level, flow through the factory, maintenance operations, and special handling for customer needs. Technology was needed to do this as the machines did not all have the capability to measure what was needed, they did not naturally link together within a virtual system, and the optimization was not automated before our activities. These efforts exemplify how IT and OT can work together to make a real difference! • InGE’sturbomachinerybusinesses(Aviation,Power&Water, Oil & Gas, and Transportation), GE researchers have developed an app to ensure that products being designed are producible. When a designer is creating a part, the app will provide real-time feedback on whether the part is producible and what features will add cost or manufacturing pinch points. This data is collected daily from our factories and turned into design rules; these activities are integrating engineering with the supply chain in new and innovative ways. Ultimately, the app will enable our turbomachinery businesses to move products to market faster and at lower cost. In some cases, we have reduced manufacturing engineering times by more than 80%. The opportunity is not trivial. A one percent improvement in productivity for GE’s manufacturing operations represents a savings of $500 million. With GE’s Brilliant Factory vision, we’re focused on achieving a 20% improvement in productivity and efficiency. The GE Store difference: With a line of sight and direct connections to our business supply chain partners in every GE business, we are working across every business to implement new elements of the brilliant factory vision. Each pilot, new “app”, advanced technology or process will be developed, optimized and categorized for its impact as a function of the type of operation, and then directly translated to other businesses and factories where similar operations exist. The few examples shown are the model for all of these activities— learn deeply in one operation/process/factory and then rapidly deploy these lessons across the company. 6PDF Image | GE Store for Technology
