GE doubles down on Predix at the edge
either in their own virtualized data center infrastructure or on GEs or its partners hardware.
While other IIoT platforms also offer deep edge computing and analytics capabilities Hitachis Lumada, for instance, was one of the first IIoT platform providers to offer storage and analytics capabilities in edge settings GE is one of the only companies to offer this breadth of edge capabilities. However, GEs competitors will keep upgrading their own edge analytics capabilities as they race to capture a greater share of the $213 billion that global manufacturers willspendon IoT solutions from now until 2020.
