Asset Management System identifies ship concerns.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
May 17, 2013 Using touchscreen technology and intuitive layout, Visor Asset Management System provides remote monitoring and diagnostics of drives, machines, and control systems operating in field. System takes data in different forms, from multiple sources, in many different places on ship and presents it on single screen in form of text and graphics. By touching or clicking on individual elements on screen, operators can delve through different layers to find information they need to facilitate tasks.

Positioning System lets mariner focus on controlling ship.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
May 16, 2013 Dynamic Positioning system holds position with computer system that takes signals from range of sensors to sense environment, heading, position, and attitude and issues commands to thrusters and propellers. Equipped with adjustable, 26 in. touchscreen HMI that is equally visible in various lighting conditions, nautical instrument lets mariners focus on managing control of ship and its position, heading, and course without distraction of manipulating and controlling complex computer system.

Control System manages BOPs in deepwater drilling operations.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
May 16, 2013 Used to close oil and gas wells in emergency, SeaONYX BOP Surface Control System incorporates Mark VIe architecture, which provides obsolescence management and enables components to be hot swapped while system is running. System’s Engineering Workstation is based on Proficy Historian software, which collects and archives data at high speeds, sending it to electronic archive. Software also enables future applications that may include advanced monitoring, diagnostics, and predictive analytics.

Wind Turbine is enhanced for power and communications.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
May 15, 2013 Allowing for elevated energy capture in lower wind speed environments, GE's 1.7-100 meter wind turbine features optimized electrical system, 53% gross capacity factor at 7.5 m/s, and uses Industrial Internet to connect data points across turbine's ecosystem. Platform helps manage wind variability by providing short-term predictable power while communicating seamlessly with neighboring turbines, service technicians, and operators.

Ship Propulsion System uses variable frequency technology.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
May 14, 2013 With VF-AFE Variable Frequency Active Front-End power and propulsion system, ship owners using conventional power system components can lower engine speed when feasible, cutting fuel consumption and emissions. System uses MV 3000 low-voltage drive which has been modified to make it more compact. Since VF-AFE is Visor-enabled, GE engineers can monitor it remotely for maintenance purposes and to better understand customer benefits.

Control Platforms eliminate network failover time via firmware.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
May 13, 2013 With firmware upgrade, UR (Universal Relay) and URPlus platforms eliminate failover time when network failure occurs by delivering zero latency. Firmware offers Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), which enables 2 LANs to be made active. If one fails, the other immediately takes over without any data loss, network failover time, or loss of mission-critical services. UR products also provide security tools that support NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection plan.

InfiniBand Switch inreases throughput for ISR applications.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
May 10, 2013 Providing high-speed data connectivity to MOSA (Modular Open Systems Architecture) board level solution sets, IBX400 enables deployment of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities across manned and unmanned airborne, ground, and naval platforms in harsh environments. Applications can be moved from Linux® server or desktop machines onto these deployable 6U OpenVPX InfiniBand® switch fabric modules to increase computing performance where needed most.

I/O Scanners support PROFINET industrial networking platform.

GE Co.    Southfield, MI 48034
