As a member of the GE Enterprise Solutions group of companies,

we focus on elevating productivity for our customers, who also

gain many other advantages from working with GE. They experi-

ence the security of doing business with a mature, stable and

respected partner. They have access to our global organization.

They can rely on our strong support system. And they can count

on us to stay ahead of the technology curve, providing imagina-

tive solutions that help them get ahead. All of which adds up to a

competitive advantage they can sustain over time.

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms

is part of GE, one of the

most innovative companies

in the world.

in 2007, ge ranked #1 in fortune’s “most admired companies” list for the third straight year.

In Automation, Software,

Embedded Computing and

CNC, customers rely on our

advanced technology to give

them the advantage.

Our customers seem to have an insatiable appetite for sophis-

ticated hardware and software. They are hungry for robust

software tools that provide real-time information to control and

manage their business environment. They clamor for advanced

computer boards and systems to create the next generation of

defense, telecom and aviation applications. In every area, they

face fierce competition and the technology we deliver allows

them to get a leg up on the competition.

Our vehicle computers provide situational awareness, mission control and navigation.

Tool makers are able to provide new levels of production efficiency and accuracy with our CNC systems.

Manufacturers use our platforms on the plant floor at individual data collection and machine control points, and all the way to the top of the organization for company-wide enterprise reporting systems.

When we began a joint venture with FANUC of Japan a little over 20 years ago, our

goal was to bring advanced automation technologies to customers around the globe.

Today, we offer customers not only the latest hardware, but also highly evolved soft-

ware, services and solutions. Using our evolving platforms, customers achieve a degree

of visibility into their operations that was once only a dream. Beginning on the plant

floor and rising to the top of the organization, we enable customers to understand and

control their operations better than ever before.

By adding intelligence to their production

environment, we offer customers greater

productivity, efficiency and profitability.

In other words, we offer them a

competitive advantage.

rising to the challenges of one billion people who currently lack access to clean water, ge is the largest supplier of desalination plants in the world.

Automation Automation is rapidly evolving to include far more than tra-ditional manufacturing and infrastructure control. Business process management has become one of the most trans-formational forces at work today. Our software adds more intelligence to your performance data to enable you to control your operations more efficiently and transform the way your business operates.

We make computers that work in the

background, controlling phone lines,

airlines and pipelines.

Most of our customers build systems that are critical to defense, aviation, industry,

energy, telecommunications and medicine. They face complex challenges getting a

product designed, built and deployed. It is vital to our customers that we can support

them through the entire development process—that they can turn to us during design,

prototyping, testing, deployment—all the way to a product’s end of life. They need to

know that we have the resources to assist them at every step. And that they will have

the very best possible experience as a customer of GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.

ge has roughly 319,000 employees across offices in 69 countries.

The goal of our support staff is to provide what we call “the best customer experience” to every single customer.

Page 21: building more intelligence - CIMTEC Automation · Proficy* HMI/SCADA and Historian integrates the machine with the rest of the plant and provides advanced analytics like OEE, Auditing,

We support our customers with professional

services, on-call technical experts, web-based

tools and Product Lifecycle Management.

Some customers need support for a few years. Others require it for decades. This is

because many automation, military and transportation applications have a normal life

of 20 to 40 years. But the pace of change in hardware and software makes it difficult for

customers to maintain these critical systems over the years. And so we have become

experts in helping customers mitigate or even eliminate the issue of obsolescence. For

these customers, we also offer services such as Product Lifecycle Management, which

is designed to protect the customer’s investment. In addition, we design our products

with an eye to the future. So that when older products are retired, and newer technology

becomes available, our customers are offered uninterrupted delivery.

A dedicated staff of technical experts provides hardware, software and product integration support.

worldwide, we invest about $1 billion every year on training and education programs for the people of ge.

To stay competitive, our customers must

exist in a state of constant transformation.

Every day, our customers face challenges that can dramatically impact the performance

of their businesses. Changing market demands, new regulatory standards and a host

of other issues add complexity to their operations. To achieve a sustainable advantage,

they need access to the right information at the right time, they have to control rising

costs and they must operate at the highest levels of quality and productivity. From

infrastructure industries such as power, water, oil and gas, to consumer industries such

as pharmaceuticals, packaged goods and automobiles, constant transformation is

the imperative. We understand these challenges, and we offer decades of technology

expertise and domain experience, plus proven hardware and software solutions.

Combined with our professional services and support systems, this allows customers

to transform their operations and position their businesses for a competitive advantage

that sustains over time.

organizations such as MESA, ISA, World Batch Forum, MIMOSA, OPC Foundation, PICMG®,

VITA, and IEEE so that our products interoperate with standards-based solutions. And

since the best components make the best products, we rigorously evaluate our certified

suppliers on everything from system quality to documentation control.

our testing and validation processes undergo continual scrutiny and improvement because many of our products are used in life and safety critical applications.
