As a member of the GE Enterprise Solutions group of companies,
we focus on elevating productivity for our customers, who also
gain many other advantages from working with GE. They experi-
ence the security of doing business with a mature, stable and
respected partner. They have access to our global organization.
They can rely on our strong support system. And they can count
on us to stay ahead of the technology curve, providing imagina-
tive solutions that help them get ahead. All of which adds up to a
competitive advantage they can sustain over time.
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms
is part of GE, one of the
most innovative companies
in the world.
in 2007, ge ranked #1 in fortune’s “most admired companies” list for the third straight year.
In Automation, Software,
Embedded Computing and
CNC, customers rely on our
advanced technology to give
them the advantage.
Our customers seem to have an insatiable appetite for sophis-
ticated hardware and software. They are hungry for robust
software tools that provide real-time information to control and
manage their business environment. They clamor for advanced
computer boards and systems to create the next generation of
defense, telecom and aviation applications. In every area, they
face fierce competition and the technology we deliver allows
them to get a leg up on the competition.
Our vehicle computers provide situational awareness, mission control and navigation.
Tool makers are able to provide new levels of production efficiency and accuracy with our CNC systems.
Manufacturers use our platforms on the plant floor at individual data collection and machine control points, and all the way to the top of the organization for company-wide enterprise reporting systems.
electricity to power the entire u.s. could be generated if just 7 percent of arizona was covered with ge’s photovoltaic modules.
Factories use our solutions to control everything from production machinery to corporate-level reporting systems.
When we began a joint venture with FANUC of Japan a little over 20 years ago, our
goal was to bring advanced automation technologies to customers around the globe.
Today, we offer customers not only the latest hardware, but also highly evolved soft-
ware, services and solutions. Using our evolving platforms, customers achieve a degree
of visibility into their operations that was once only a dream. Beginning on the plant
floor and rising to the top of the organization, we enable customers to understand and
control their operations better than ever before.
By adding intelligence to their production
environment, we offer customers greater
productivity, efficiency and profitability.
In other words, we offer them a
competitive advantage.
rising to the challenges of one billion people who currently lack access to clean water, ge is the largest supplier of desalination plants in the world.
Automation Automation is rapidly evolving to include far more than tra-ditional manufacturing and infrastructure control. Business process management has become one of the most trans-formational forces at work today. Our software adds more intelligence to your performance data to enable you to control your operations more efficiently and transform the way your business operates.

The goal of our support staff is to provide what we call “the best customer experience” to every single customer.
We support our customers with professional
services, on-call technical experts, web-based
tools and Product Lifecycle Management.
Some customers need support for a few years. Others require it for decades. This is
because many automation, military and transportation applications have a normal life
of 20 to 40 years. But the pace of change in hardware and software makes it difficult for
customers to maintain these critical systems over the years. And so we have become
experts in helping customers mitigate or even eliminate the issue of obsolescence. For
these customers, we also offer services such as Product Lifecycle Management, which
is designed to protect the customer’s investment. In addition, we design our products
with an eye to the future. So that when older products are retired, and newer technology
becomes available, our customers are offered uninterrupted delivery.
A dedicated staff of technical experts provides hardware, software and product integration support.
worldwide, we invest about $1 billion every year on training and education programs for the people of ge.
To stay competitive, our customers must
exist in a state of constant transformation.
Every day, our customers face challenges that can dramatically impact the performance
of their businesses. Changing market demands, new regulatory standards and a host
of other issues add complexity to their operations. To achieve a sustainable advantage,
they need access to the right information at the right time, they have to control rising
costs and they must operate at the highest levels of quality and productivity. From
infrastructure industries such as power, water, oil and gas, to consumer industries such
as pharmaceuticals, packaged goods and automobiles, constant transformation is
the imperative. We understand these challenges, and we offer decades of technology
expertise and domain experience, plus proven hardware and software solutions.
Combined with our professional services and support systems, this allows customers
to transform their operations and position their businesses for a competitive advantage
that sustains over time.
in 1969 neil armstrong took the first step on the moon with boots made from ge silicone rubber.
we provide customers with the latest hardware and software technology, while also keeping an eye on future developments and migration paths.
our customers constantly push the limits of what is possible, and we support them with breakthrough hardware and software solutions.
We work in cooperation with other
major computer companies to develop
new technologies.
With companies like Intel®, IBM®, Microsoft® and many, many more, we are helping
to define exciting new computer standards. Because we’re so deeply involved in the
development of these new technological concepts, we have a head start when it comes
time to produce and deploy new products. Of equal importance, we are able to help
customers make wise technology decisions today, based on our insights about the
future. By the way, from what we can see, the future looks good. So good, in fact, that
we’re creating new products at a furious pace. We’re investing in new technologies.
We’re bringing talented new people into the company. We think digital intelligence is
revolutionizing the world, and the revolution has just begun.
in 1900, ge opened the first industrial research and development laboratory in the united states. it was housed in the backyard barn of scientist charles steinmetz and employed three people.
Customers can depend on us to develop
solutions for global deployment that are
compliant with worldwide standards.
Our commitment to quality began decades ago, and it defines our processes today.
It is evident with our consistent recertification to the latest ISO, ANSI, and IPC standards.
In addition, our solutions are designed from the ground up for high performance with
the utmost reliability, plus UL, CE, RoHS and WEEE compliance. We participate in industry
organizations such as MESA, ISA, World Batch Forum, MIMOSA, OPC Foundation, PICMG®,
VITA, and IEEE so that our products interoperate with standards-based solutions. And
since the best components make the best products, we rigorously evaluate our certified
suppliers on everything from system quality to documentation control.
our testing and validation processes undergo continual scrutiny and improvement because many of our products are used in life and safety critical applications.
