Partnerships with AT&T, Cisco and Intel expand ecosystem for anytime, virtually anywhere access to machines for improved data flow Platform open to third-party partners and developers in 2014 New data and analytics solutions powered by first-ofits-kind Predix software platform
On October 9th, General Electric announced 14 new Industrial Internet Predictivity technologies that will enable global industries to achieve outcomes such as minimal unplanned downtime, increased productivity, preventive maintenance, lower fuel costs and reduced emissions. GE’s solutions will be powered by Predix, a first-of-its-kind industrial strength platform that provides a standard and secure way to connect machines, industrial big data and people. GE is also expanding its ecosystem to include AT&T, Cisco and Intel, which will boost wired and wireless machine connectivity.
Jeff Immelt, chairman and CEO, GE, said, “Industrial data is not only big, it’s the most critical and complex type of big data. Our greatest challenge and opportunity is to manage and analyze this data in a highly secure way to deliver better outcomes for customers and society. We are developing more predictive solutions and equipping our products with sensors that constantly measure performance so our customers see major productivity gains and minimize no unplanned downtime. Observing, predicting and changing this performance is how the Industrial Internet will help airlines, railroads and power plants operate at peak efficiency.” One example Immelt gave during his presentation is a combination of hardware and software upgrades that boost wind turbine energy output by as much as five percent. This could translate to up to 20 percent more profit per turbine for wind farm operators via a network where data collection and analysis are instantaneous and continuous.

Each wind turbine has sensors that talk with nearby turbines to gauge wind speed and direction, and then angle the blades of each turbine to maximize the productivity of the wind farm as a whole. Those turbines also communicate with a central control hub that can identify problems and alert engineers that service is needed. The turbine can tell the engineer what parts need replacing or repairs. If the engineer doesn’t know how to make a certain repair, experts at a central command center somewhere else on the globe can talk her through the process step-by-step. All of this is connected to a smart grid that uses or stores the electricity generated, and coordinates transmission and distribution with numerous other producers, all geared towards maximizing the efficiency and productivity across the entire grid. GE now offers customers 24 total Predictivity solutions, including 14 launched today. These solutions deliver asset optimization and operations optimization, providing more flexible solutions to manage machines and entire operations -- helping them run better, consume less fuel, get serviced more efficiently and minimize unplanned downtime. In the last year, customers have seen improved outcomes across the board. For St. Luke’s Medical Center, which is using GE software to manage and analyze patient and equipment data, this means a 51 minute reduction in bed turnaround time and reduced patient wait times. Gol Airlines is using software to better track, analyze and adapt its flight routes and fuel consumption

Ram will be first manufacturer to offer light duty diesel option One of the most anticipated trucks of the 2014 model year is arguably the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, because it will be the first light-duty truck to be powered by a diesel engine. Interest in the truck is so high that the manufacturer is already concerned that supply won't meet the growing demand. Consumers are anticipating the release date as the new engine option is expected to provide a 30 percent increase in fuel efficiency. The addition of a diesel engine is undoubtedly the most substantial difference in the 2014 Ram 1500 over previous versions of the light-duty pick-
up. Not only will the engine run on a different fuel source, it will also be one of the few Ram trucks not powered by a Cummins engine. Prior to the announcement of the 2015 Nissan Titan, Cummins engines were found solely under the hood of Ram trucks. However, for the EcoDiesel Ram, the manufacturer decided to pass on the Cummins V-8 diesel engine--which was specifically designed for the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel--and instead opted for an engine with greater fuel efficiency. Simulations were showing that the Cummins diesel engine was capable of 24 mpg, but Ram
parent company, Chrysler, said they would settle for nothing less than 26 mpg. The manufacturer found their answer in a turbocharged 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine from VM Motori--an Italian engine manufacturer which deals exclusively with diesel-fueled powertrains. Exact fuel economy ratings have not been released yet, but Chrysler announced that they expect the numbers to be in the high 20s. It's likely that the EcoDiesel will provide class-leading towing power as it has been confirmed that the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel will offer a best-inclass 420 pound-foot of torque.

Westport Makes LNG A Viable, Cost-Effective Fuel For The Average Fleet Westport Innovations Inc., the global leader in natural gas engines, today announced a unique on-board storage solution that provides best in class performance for vehicles using liquefied natural gas (LNG). The new Westport™ LNG Tank System, will be available in 120 and 150 gallon capacities, is optimized for spark ignited (SI) engines and begins shipping by mid-2013. The Westport LNG Tank System features proprietary Westport technology and is expected to provide customers with the ability to fuel even the largest SI engines on a single tank and deliver extended range. Among those technologies is the incorporation of a fuel pump in the LNG tank that allows the fuel to be used directly, without warming, making fuel starvation issues a thing of the past.
port LNG Tank System can increase fuel storage times and improve vehicle range by up to 10 percent. Universal system design allows for any original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to integrate. Compared to existing compressed natural gas (CNG) options, a single 150 gallon Westport LNG Tank System takes the place of three standard CNG tanks, lowering fuel storage costs and reducing overall vehicle weight by approximately 600 lbs. Additionally, LNG has shorter refuelling times compared to CNG. Customers receive a two year / 250,000 mile warranty along with access to field service from Westport-trained personnel.
Key characteristics of the new Westport LNG Tank System: Current industry standard systems require two LNG tanks to operate effectively with larger SI engines and require warm (saturated) LNG. The Westport LNG Tank System is optimized for trucks running even the largest SI engines, reducing the overall fuel system costs and weight dramatically with the single-tank option. The 120 gallon or 150 gallon single-tank systems can run for approximately 350 to 450 miles, respectively, on cold (unsaturated) LNG fuel. Those ranges double for dual-tank configurations. Fuel-flexibility with the ability to carry both cold and warm LNG. By carrying fuel as cold LNG, the West-
An advanced driver display that indicates not only the LNG fuel levels, but also status and diagnostic information about the tank and integrated pumps. Fleets with a combination of SI and Westport™ HPDI trucks can now rely on the same LNG refuelling infrastructure due to the system's fuel-flexible capabilities. "Our early production systems tested with the Cummins Westport ISX12 G in a Peterbilt 384 truck have proven to have excellent performance characteristics and superior operating results on a single tank," said Steve Anderson, Westport HD Vice President of Business Development. "We believe this is the only on-board fuel system for LNG-fueled engines that can operate on a single tank using range-extending cold LNG." "Thanks to the flexibility and range of the Westport LNG Tank System, fleet operators can now use the same cold LNG and technology across their fleet in a range of vehicle and engine sizes," said Anderson.
Westport Active System Management features proprietary control algorithms and connects with standard engine controllers to allow fuel delivery to match driving patterns.
