Domain expertise
at your service
Smart Grid
Our smart grid technologies marry
information technology and automation
with current electrical infrastructure,
helping support the energy needs of our
21st century society. Acting as an “energy
Internet,” the smart grid delivers real-time
energy information and knowledge to
empower smarter energy choices. It helps
utilities get more out of their existing
assets, yielding more productivity while
improving the reliability of their systems.
And it allows individual consumers to
manage their energy use and save money
without compromising their lifestyle.
Transportation Management
GE’s Movement Planner™ technology helps
railroads solve capacity issues by better
managing the movement of trains. Norfolk
Southern is using the system to make
complex network decisions and significantly
increase the velocity of the average train
across the network. For U.S. railroads,
a one-mile-per-hour gain in velocity can
mean $200 million in savings over the
course of a year. Fully implemented across
an entire railway, we predict GE’s
Movement Planner can achieve two-to-four
mile-per-hour increases in velocity.
Making Customers More Productive
Product services, which have long been a GE strength, today comprise
almost one-third of our revenues and nearly three-quarters of our
industrial earnings. Backed by a healthy pipeline of innovative technologies
and continued investment, our future services growth will be fueled by
expanded offerings; entrance into key adjacencies; and broad-scale,
systems-based service solutions that improve customer productivity
and efficiency. Helping our customers do business better makes good
business sense for GE.
