Best-in class embedded solution that analyzes
locomotive data from 200+ sensors unveiled at InnoTrans 2016
GE Transportation (NYSE:GE) in collaboration with Intel Corp.,
introduced a “superbrain” platform solution for locomotives that
transforms them into mobile data headquarters – helping make trains
smarter and faster. The best-in-class embedded solution, unveiled
today at InnoTrans 2016, improves operations, fuel efficiency,
horsepower and emissions, and enhances a locomotive’s tractive
effort.
The GoLINC™ system – network, communication and application
management platform capable of turning any locomotive into a mobile
data center – features the 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor.
GoLINC interfaces with both on-board and off-board GE and
third-party systems to create a powerful Predix™-edge-enabled
device. It’s the brain of the train on more than 6,000 locomotives
today. The new offering will allow for better data management and
video analytics on the locomotive, and enables the creation and
deployment of future technologies into the GoLINC platform.
“Our partnership delivers the most advanced connectivity across
the rail industry to create a smarter rail ecosystem,” says GE
Transportation President and CEO Jamie Miller. “It enables
operators to transfer data, host applications and interface with
third-party systems, and can boost operational productivity.”
“This platform enhancement to the GoLINC mobile data center
saves time and lowers costs by reducing the amount of data
transferred over cellular connections, and will enable the rail
industry to perform at its best,” says Val Stoyanov, Intel’s GM,
Global Transportation. “We look forward to continued collaboration
with GE Transportation.”
The Intel collaboration is one of several announcements GE
Transportation is making at the biennial InnoTrans international
trade fair. The announcements build on the vision of a digitally
connected rail ecosystem GE Transportation spotlighted in 2014 when
it introduced its integrated suite of software solutions, powered
by the Rail Operating System.
With a deep understanding of the rail industry challenges its
customers face, GE Transportation committed to increasing and
enhancing its connected suite of capabilities to help customers
extend locomotive life, lower fuel consumption, decrease emissions,
increase velocity and improve operating ratios.
