ARCHITECTURE AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
1. Introduction
This report is based on a multinational conglomerate General Electric (GE)
that has put bet on Big Data and Analytics. The organization has decided to
launch a new project “Industrial Internet” in which there will be convergence
of industrial machines with data and Internet. The main objectives is to
support connectivity between the various product applications being utilized
by their four themes of operations. The organization mainly operates in the
four themes such as Building, Curing, Moving and Powering (MIT Sloan
Management Review 2016). Hence, the project has been undertaken by the
company as a challenge to implement real-time monitoring as well as
analytics on the pipelines or equipment of power generation remotely. There
is a requirement of an enterprise system in the organization so that they can
withstand the odds and also are capable of operating in environments that
are most secure or data sensitive such as hospitals. In this report, the
various models are developed for providing an information centric solution to
implement the dynamic project of Industrial Internet.

Predix offers creation of innovative applications for businesses with the help
of which real time data on operations can be turned into actionable insights.
In the above System Context Diagram, the system overview of Predix
(Industrial Internet Platform) is illustrated to present the working procedure
of Predix. Predix has everything that is required for easily building, secure
deployment and effective operation of the industrial applications. This makes
them in charge for supervising the journey to IoT implementation (Ge.com
2018). The system context diagram presents that there are overall three
divisions in the Industrial Internet platform comprising of Connectivity, Cloud
Services and Applications. The component connectivity involves Predix
Machine software/Analytics and External Data of Enterprise Systems. Those
are connected with the cloud services that are provided by the Predix cloud.
