What on earth, Apple and GE cooperate in application development.
Corporate conglomerate General Electric (GE), a company that handles Tech industry giants and electrical products to aircraft engines. Announced that two companies will cooperate in developing applications for iPhone and iPad.
"Wow, we also have apps that we can play!" I am worried, but it seems to be different. The collaboration this time is to make GE's IoT-based data analysis and prediction platform "Predix" available on iOS devices. It is a tool for the industrial. Both companies have announced the development kit (SDK) for iOS, developers can create IoT applications for industries.
According to Apple's announcement, for example, employees can detect potential problems of facilities such as wind turbines by using Predix. In addition, data collection, inspection, repair jointly with a remote team. And it seems to lead to quick information gathering, which in turn leads to cost reduction and downtime reduction. It looks great, but it seems not to be much related to our life.
The Predix SDK for iOS will be available for download from October 26th. One who works for a factory or a power station may be a tool that will be seen.
