GE Debuts On-site “Collaboration Center”

GE Aviation has created a scaled “digital collaboration center” in its pavilion here (P2) to highlight the capabilities of its new Digital Solutions business, which aims to identify and address customers’ operational challenges. Since opening its first such center in Dubai last year, GE has continued to build more around the world; the Paris center opened last month, and Shanghai’s is scheduled to open next week.

In a recent collaboration with flydubai, implemented last month, GE Aviation designed a solution built on its Predix platform to help the airline minimize the impact of unavoidable delays, and enhance pilot operational understanding. It gives flydubai “real time tools to understand the impact of potential operational disruptions,” said Jim Dally, GE Aviation’s vice-president and chief digital officer. “This is exactly how we want to work together and help customers to drive greater efficiency,” he said.
