Predix Edge Technology Product Brief

Introduction The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) represents a world where minds and machines connect to deliver new value for industrial companies and critical infrastructure organizations. In this new landscape, organizations can optimize performance, improve production by reducing unplanned downtime, and help drive down costs. This requires industrial machines to be securely connected to the systems and applications that deliver those outcomes. Predix is a distributed applications and services platform for digital industrial companies. Predix includes an edge software stack and a cloud software stack, which work together to deliver a distributed technology environment for industrial outcomes. Over the past few years, the cloud has played a central role in powering compute-intense workloads to manage massive amounts of data generated by machines. However, edge computing is quickly becoming a critical piece to the IIoT equation. Edge computing puts more compute, storage, and analytic power locally, in close proximity to the source of data itself. Edge computing together with cloud technology are key enablers to digital industrial transformation. GE’s Predix combines cloud and edge computing into one powerful platform to drive industrial outcomes. 2

Predix Edge Technology Make Any Industrial Machine an Intelligent Machine Predix edge technology includes Predix Machine, a runtime environment, and Predix Edge Manager, an edge management solution. Together, they enable compute capabilities closer to machines, particularly to support workloads that add operational value when executed near the machines that generate the data. By enabling data processing, storage, and analytics closer to machines, Predix edge technology creates a tight union between machines, control systems, and modern applications while easily and securely connecting edge devices to the cloud. In concert with the Predix Cloud, Predix edge technology gives industrial organizations the ability to use data, advanced analytics, and machine learning to drive digital industrial transformation. This can lead to reduced maintenance costs, improved asset utilization production, and enable new business model innovations that can further monetize industrial machines and the data they create. Benefits for Industrial Operations Benefits for Industrial App Developers Rapid deployment: Rapid deployment: Turn industrial machines into smart, connected machines Use the comprehensive edge device stack to easily process and route data to Predix Cloud with reliable and secure cloud connectivity. Better, faster asset insights: Ability to use machine data faster and more efficiently, enabling quick decisions about performance, availability, and production optimization. Extend capabilities: Add custom commands, additional protocol adapters and support custom software packages. Build, test, and deploy innovative edge apps easily and quickly: Robust SDK makes it easier to design, code, and monetized distributed IIoT apps. Edge ecosystem: Access Predix partner ecosystem to edge devices, edge apps and services to build impactful solutions. Reliability and manageability: Enables IT teams to track, manage, and communicate with all edge devices anytime, anywhere. 3

Predix Machine Predix Edge Capabilities Deterministic Control System Predix Machine helps simplify and accelerate the development and deployment of applications running on a variety of edge devices. These edge devices may range from embedded devices like sensor hubs to PC-class gateways to high performance industrial servers. Predix is supported by an extensive developer, partner, and customer base, which means industrial companies can take advantage of a growing catalog of edge applications for continued value. Software management Predix Machine meets the needs of digital industrials with agile connections, near real-time services, data optimization, and applications as well as addressing the unique security, privacy, and data governance regulations and policies of companies around the world. Predix Machine can also support custom commands, custom software packages and additional protocol adapters. Device management Predix Machine is a device-independent, highly customizable and extensible software stack available as a software development kit (SDK) to develop solutions that connect machines to the Predix Cloud. It can be deployed on any edge device that meets the minimum hardware requirements. Security management Device-independent, highly customizable edge software Run apps and analytics Aggregate data Publish and subscribe Store and forward Ingest and filter data Connect Deterministic control system Host and integrate with GE control systems Run apps and analytics Execute application, analytics and microservices in the edge stack Aggregate data Aggregate data from disparate assets, protocols, flows, or systems Publish and subscribe Bi-lateral communications between cloud and edge stack via data bus Store and forward Maintain data storage and forwarding at a prescribed time or event-based condition (e.g. upon re-establishing a network connection) Ingest and filter data Ingest data from the asset, and filter data based on rules Connect Establish a connection between the asset (machines) or asset control system 4

Deploying Predix Machine Predix Machine can be deployed in two ways: On a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), or in a Docker container environment. 1. Host Operating System Deployment In this mode of operation, Predix Machine offers the ability to configure the available components including machine adapters to pull data from industrial equipment and data rivers to transfer data to Predix cloud services. This deployment method is ideal for edge devices with low performance capabilities. 2. Docker Deployment This method of operation allows users to deploy custom applications written in C, C or Java that communicate with Predix Machine (also running within a container) using a publish/ subscribe model via a containerized data bus. While this environment offers more extensibility and capabilities, it is also more resource intensive, placing additional demands on edge device hardware. The host operating system can be deployed to operate on bare metal, i.e., directly on the device hardware. Alternately, the host operating system can be installed on a virtual machine, further extending deployment options for Predix Machine. 5

Predix Edge Manager Managing edge devices, applications, and connectivity Predix Edge Manager Benefits Predix Edge Manager is an application for managing Predix Machine enabled devices, the applications and services running on the edge device, and managing connectivity if leveraging Predix Connectivity services. Scalable device management: Centralized lifecycle management of thousands of edge devices from anywhere, anytime. Reliability and manageability: Optimize deploying and updating of software and applications. Better, faster operational insights: Allow operations teams to track, manage, and communicate with all edge devices enabling quick decisions about performance, availability, and alert assignment. Predix Edge Manager enables customers to scale their IIoT deployment by centrally administering devices, permissions, and applications from the cloud. Enroll, authenticate, provision and manage edge devices Configure OS and other firmware settings Deploy, configure, and update Predix Machine Deploy, configure, and update containerized apps and services Device Management Console 6
