Futurism: GE Plans Automated Internet Notices from Failing Products Posted By: Warner Todd Huston 12/1/2012 1:17:54 PM Referenced Article written by The future is now. Publius Forum, by Warner Todd Huston Original Article
General Electric has its eye on the future and the manufacturing giant feels the future will take the form of an "industrial Internet" that will alert both users and the manufacturers when products are breaking down or coming to the end of a life cycle. This will mean that GE will be able to fix or replace products before they even break down an idea that might curtail downtime as airplanes, trains, power generators and the like can be repaired before any actual trouble arises.
