GE Field Agent IIoT edge gateway

GE’s Field Agent technology offers a solution for the critical link required in an IIoT chain for cloud-enabled analytics. Field Agents provide a rugged, preconfigured solution for secure data collection and conveyance from the machine.

The Field Agent can be connected to nearly any industrial asset and leverage GE’s Industrial Internet Platform to collect data, analyse trends and uncover insights that improve operations and asset performance. Users can build remote monitoring and diagnostics capabilities safely and securely, utilising encrypted channels that preserve data timestamp, quality and fidelity.

GE’s Field Agents are powered by Predix, a cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS) built for industrial big data applications.

Using the GE Field Agent technology, users can leverage the power of the IIoT by accessing real-time asset performance data to perform advanced predictive analytics. Armed with this valuable information, operators can optimise equipment uptime and OEMs can proactively maintain and service their equipment fleet, improving operations and growing revenues.
