Industry Leaders Collaborate to Develop Applications on the
Predix Platform
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) and Exelon Generation, operator
of the largest nuclear power fleet in the U.S., announced today the
joint development of two digital solutions based on GE’s Predix
platform, the operating system of the Industrial Internet.
“Our industry is on the precipice of a digital revolution and
Exelon is excited to partner with GE on several pilot programs that
will help us deliver significant benefits for our customers, the
industry and the environment,” said Michael Pacilio, EVP & COO,
Exelon Generation.
One solution in joint development, an application known as
Watchtower, will utilize data to predict asset performance
and enable Exelon to obtain real-time operational status of plant
equipment while also receiving proactive notifications of possible
machine issues.
The other solution, an application known as Lighthouse,
will use advanced analytics to examine historical organizational
performance indicators to enhance decision-making capabilities,
reduce costs and optimize operational performance.
The applications are part of GE’s new Digital Power Plant
solution that will enable utilities and customers around the world
to apply software, analytics and artificial intelligence to the
crucial task of generating and managing electricity cleanly,
efficiently, safely and securely in the cyber environment.
The applications are the culmination of extensive work by a team
of GE and Exelon employees to brainstorm and develop solutions to
some of the industry’s biggest challenges.
“Exelon is one of the first movers in deploying Industrial
Internet solutions,” said Steve Bolze, president and CEO of GE
Power & Water. “Given their history of innovation and
delivering value to their customers we are incredibly excited about
the impact this partnership will deliver in terms of customer
value, decarbonization and our long standing collaboration.”
