Goals of this webinar

▪ Briefly review what’s driving digital industrial transformation

▪ Discuss the need for visual app builder tools in the IIoT technology stack (i.e., integrated with Predix)

▪ Provide an overview of Predix “essentials”

▪ Make it real – view a demo of Edge2Web Director running on top of the Predix industrial cloud

Industrial IoT Landscape

▪ Digital industrial transformation is now a strategic imperative

▪ Industrial clouds like GE Digital’s Predix provide

ꟷ Data modeling, acquisition and storage

ꟷ Real time and exploratory analytics

▪ Users also need visual tools to

ꟷ Quickly deploy a wide range of monitoring dashboards

ꟷ Build custom apps that provide rich context and actionability


Why industrial companies are going digital

6

Global provider of high performance printing and insertion equipment combines GE Digital’s Predix industrial cloud with advanced analytics to remotely monitor and troubleshoot problems –improving customer service and product performance.

Assets▪ Condition-based maintenance▪ Reduce downtime▪ Fleet management

Operations

▪ Optimize OEE▪ Improve production yields▪ Reduce energy consumption▪ Streamline plant operations▪ Streamline logistics and distribution

Services▪ Equipment manufacturers▪ Remote service centers▪ Mobile field service


High Level IIoT Technology Footprint

GE Digital’s Predix

Operationalizing analytics (simple example)

8


This is where the rubber meets the road:

1. Analytics reveal something important2. You need to take action3. The needed action can take many forms

▪ Human intervention (bring a system down for maintenance)▪ Systems notification (schedule high-priority service call)▪ Business notification (update product inventory forecast)

IIoT Technology Stack

9

SaaS applicationsProvide cloud alternative for COTS applications and related services (CRM, HR, collaboration)

AnalyticsOperates on digital models using advanced data science to expose key insights – patterns, trends, anomalies

Industrial cloudStores subset of OT data in digital models to support advanced analytics

IT data centerManages on-premise industrial applications (COTS) and data that support business operations (ERP, APM)

OT data centerManages all assets, systems, and production processes that drive core industrial operations

Visual app buildersProvide tools for building IIoT apps that operationalize analytic insights and drive targeted outcomes


Predix general observations

▪ Built on Pivotal’s Cloud Foundry framework – solid, extensible, portable (theoretically)

▪ Fast, flexible support for core IIoT services

▪ “Swiss army knife” platform – developers need to know what they’re doing to assemble and use Predix services

– Java centric for data processing and service integration

– HTML/Web stack centric for front-end apps

Predix Service Essentials

11

UAA Security, authentication and authorization

Asset Digital model of physical sites, systems, assets


Timeseries High-throughput storage and retrieval of time-oriented data

Analytics Scheduling and orchestration framework forexecuting multi-step analytics pipelines

Predix Asset

▪ Implemented as JSON structured graph datastore

▪ Can model a wide variety of physical assets and relationships

▪ JSON/GEL (graph expression language) query semantics

▪ Timeseries data tags can be embedded in asset models

▪ Apps can walk URI paths to navigate complex relationships (e.g., asset hierarchies)

12


uri: /tags/rt-33-31-3,

name: reactorTemp,

description: Reactor Temperature,

tagType: sensor,

sourceKey: 20E701.Temp,

unit: DegC,

…

Predix Timeseries

13


▪ Aggregations (percent, avg, sum, count)

▪ Filter by attributes, quality, value

▪ Supports Limit and Order By operators

▪ Supports Last value operation

▪ Retrieval via Get and Post

▪ Supports data interpolation

▪ Implemented as columnar datastore on Apache Cassandra

▪ High performance data ingestion and query engine

▪ Supports a wide variety of filtering, aggregation, and manipulation operators

▪ Does not allow easy purge of unneededhistories (user must drop/re-add service, deleting entire history – ugh!)

Info you need to connect to a Predix service:

▪ Host name

▪ Scheme

▪ UAA Url

▪ Client ID

▪ Client Secret

▪ Predix Zone

Edge2Web on GE Digital Predix DemoThe usual caveats apply:1. Demos often fall over – this one may too2. E2W software is under development and

may appear unpolished in some places (we’re working on that!)


Call for POCs

▪ Use Edge2Web for your POCs

ꟷ Connect to live back-end (Predix) or upload static data (Excel)ꟷ Quickly show your users what’s possibleꟷ Bring E2W apps to production or use as wireframes

▪ Sign up for a free E2W account on our website

▪ We are happy to assist you in creating showcase applications –contact us to discuss your POC project goals and timelines

Summary

▪ Predix is a leading industrial cloud platform

▪ Predix analytics are most valuable when operationalized, guiding users to take actions

▪ Building interactive web apps on Predix is hard and requires full-stack developer expertise

▪ Edge2Web Director dramatically lowers the bar for delivering a wide variety of Predix-based applications
