 Hi, my name is Mark Thomas mid. I've worked for GE digital and I want to talk a few minutes about The platform for the industrial Internet of predicts that we're building at the GE digital facility in San Ramon across the bay and What I want to start with is actually showing you a chart Can I get the chart? Sorry about that. I'm going to start off by basically talking talk talking a little bit about How to position the platform that we're building I could tell you that predict is an IOT platform But that wouldn't tell you much because there's so many of them. There is Variations on the theme of IOT platforms wherever you go. You see them often being created as extensions to existing Systems out there for example enterprise systems are often extended with with IOT Extensions are sales first commerce has an IOT play out there. You also see a lot of IOT platforms emerging in consumer space the things that basically where the things that you want to want to integrate in your house the Thermal stats the the toothbrushes that you have and again Those are often kind of implemented extensions to existing systems of engagement I think the the really interesting action a little bias here But the really interesting action in IOT space at the moment is at the industrial end of the spectrum where the things that you're basically dealing with in that IO IOT their industrial assets They're relatively complex machines the kind of machines that GE actually builds for example wind turbines or gas turbines or locomotives Or MRI machines that basically look inside a patient and give you a 3d picture of what they have And I think the reason why much of the really interesting advanced action happens in this space the reason why you see the pure play IOT Applications not extensions to existing systems, but systems that really focus on assets and nothing but asset what they happen in that space is Two reasons reason number one is there's things out there that you find in the industrial space They have been instrumented for a while. They're really well instrumented. They're well connected They give you a ton of information even before IOT was a thing So you have a spectrum of really interesting machines out there They can tap into and extract information and then the second thing is the applications that you can build in this space I'll give you immediate value if you can optimize the behavior of a wind farm or fleet of wind farms out there There's immediate business value if we can optimize of the Rail system in in in the northwest of there of the United States There's there's immediate business value. So when we set out to basically build GE's platform for the industrial Internet One of the things that we made one of the decisions we made from a from an architecture of perspective early on was we said We want to build this entirely on open source We do not want to re-implement a bunch of things that we find out there so basically three three quick things on on this chart that basically gives you how the GE platform in a nutshell thing number one is we're standing on the shoulders of open source giants We're using a lot of technology that was innovated in the context of systems of engagement when it comes to big data Analytics, we're using Kafka and Cassandra and the likes But also very importantly we pick cloud foundry as our cloud platform It's the environment that basically enables us to build and deploy at scale the kind of applications The services the microservices that make out the platform But more importantly it enables us to actually work with many many partners that we have so that they can add Services to our our ecosystem the cloud services you see on top of on top of this chart so where we innovate in the platform space you can building out those microservices on cloud foundry and The last comment I want to make on this chart is an interesting challenge that we're facing that IoT platforms especially the ones in the industrial Internet that they do not only live in a cloud What I'm showing in this picture here is that basically we have a variation on the hybrid theme that that bill touched on But in this case hybrid is not kind of a private cloud in a data center on the enterprise Connecting to a public cloud the hybrid here is actually a presence of the platform close to the devices We need basically push out applications beyond the boundaries of the cloud We refer to this edge of the clouds we pushed them basically out there into the environment We have analytics that operate on those industrial machines close to those machines We push them into the wind turbines. We push them out to the the wind farms. We put them on to the locomotives That drive around there So so one of the challenges that we're facing is how come I'm basically push the concept of cloud computing outside of the data centers into the real world and We have a few interesting applications that are just gonna touch on here with basic event life with this platform a Few months ago. Here's here's a few really interesting applications that we built on top of that As part of the work that our team is doing we're not only using cloud founder We're actually helping to extend it. There's a few things that we found that a cloud platform That was meant to to basically cater to our transactional systems is lacking So our teams have been working on adding IoT extensions to cloud foundry to enable more event-based Communication and then as I said the big challenge that we're currently facing is how can we make use of the multi cloud? Capabilities that cloud foundry has we run our own data centers And we also deploy our platform into public clouds, but how can we take the next step? How can we basically make it so that the cloud platform in a native way? Can actually get into the edge of the cloud into the gateways into the controllers closer to the sensors out there? Gives us basically that environment in which we can then deploy and to end Applications from the point where where the wind turbine is out there in the field to the cloud back end that runs the analytics across it That's a in a nutshell if you want to see a lot more about this We have a booth over there in the exhibition, so please go in and take a look at critics. Thank you
