In today’s rapidly developing industrial field, GE, as a pioneer in the industry, its industrial control products are continuously propelling various industries to new heights. From advanced control technologies to powerful data processing capabilities, GE’s industrial control products, with their excellent performance and innovative designs, have brought revolutionary changes to global industrial production.

The Automation and Control business unit of GE Power won the 2018 Global Company of the Year award for introducing the PACSystems RX3i CPX 400 series and Field Agent in the Industrial Internet Control System (IICS). Driven by the latest edge technologies, IICS utilizes rich data and analytics to reveal actionable insights, providing customers with greater flexibility in operational efficiency and higher asset performance. The new generation of outcome optimization controllers is uniquely designed to ensure the reliable operation of applications in numerous industries such as water/wastewater, subways, industrial steam, automotive, oil and gas, and discrete manufacturing, while achieving the longest uptime. Early adopters of the IICS solution have witnessed significant achievements, including a 7% performance improvement, a 22% increase in productivity, and a 40% reduction in maintenance.

In terms of network security protection, GE Research launched a real-time active network defense solution named Digital Ghost. This solution creates an additional network protection layer beyond the traditional IT/OT firewalls, aiming to quickly detect and isolate network threats with high precision and take actions to eliminate threats, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of industrial assets. Combining GE’s digital twin and edge computing technologies, Digital Ghost continuously monitors the system and enables real-time changes to industrial control when under cyberattacks to maintain normal operation. In simulation tests and field trials, Digital Ghost has been proven to be able to quickly detect and isolate threats with an accuracy rate of 99%.

GE also demonstrates outstanding performance in product diversity and applicability. For example, the GE-903EI series extended industrial computer launched by Jifang Technology, although introduced by Jifang Technology, is equipped with the Intel® 13th/14th Core™ i series processors and complies with strict industrial product specifications. It can maintain continuous and stable operation in harsh environments such as high temperatures, high humidity, and dust, and is suitable for multiple fields such as industrial automation, intelligent transportation, equipment control, machine vision, and smart factories. This series supports 2*PCIe X16 expansion slots and can simultaneously load GPU computing cards and VPU acceleration cards (4090 graphics card + Atlas 300I inference card), meeting different expansion needs such as POE network cards and motion control cards. Its modular design effectively shortens the product launch cycle and improves product flexibility. By adding different modules, customers can configure new modules at any time according to business growth without the need to replace the equipment, greatly enhancing the product’s sustainability and return on investment value.

In addition, GE has many other excellent industrial control products. For instance, Proficy iFix, as a leading HMI/SCADA solution in the industry, has been iterating for more than 25 years, with hundreds of thousands of nodes installed in nearly 20,000 customers across about 90 countries and 36 industries globally. The Mark*VIeS control system is a new generation of safety control system for process safety, conforming to the IEC 61508 and IEC61511 standards with the highest safety level reaching SIL3. The PACSystems Ethernet Switches series industrial Ethernet switches have excellent performance such as an ultra-wide operating temperature range and wide-range power supply, making them suitable for remote industrial field applications.

GE‘s industrial control products, with their outstanding performance in technological innovation, performance optimization, network security protection, and product diversification, are playing an irreplaceable and important role in the industrial field, leading industrial production towards a more efficient, intelligent, and secure direction. With the continuous progress of technology, GE will continue to bring more advanced solutions to global industrial users, helping various industries stand out in the fierce market competition.
