Formellino’s recently installed automation system contributed to a 30% energy savings within the first 50 days of implementation. The new system relies on GE’s RX3i and CIMPLICITY for the real-time predictive control needed to optimize machine run rates and decrease energy consumption, all while achieving higher standards of water quality and efficiency.
Lower plant operational costs while improving overall performance and reliability. With GE' Industrial Internet Control System (IICS), it is easier to find the right mix of interfaces, I/O, and outcome-optimizing controllers to meet production needs, while securely optimizing Water or Wastewater plant control systems.
The most valuable natural resource for any business is their data. Outcome optimizing control (OOC) allows operators to obtain dynamic, actionable intelligence through continuous data-driven feedback to optimize processes, help actualize desired profitability, and transform operations.
Augmenting real-time deterministic control with Edge analytic capability makes it possible to achieve a flexible and intelligent, highly-available system that helps ensure maximum uptime and an overall improved total cost of ownership, all while optimizing business processes and outcomes.
GE has combined several advanced controls technologies to create a truly next-generation, smart, network-integrated plant monitoring and management system that can generate maximum process optimisation and resource savings.
Internet Integrated Control Systems provide plant operators with the opportunity to merge multiple local data streams into a single model, harnessing the powerful processing capabilities of cloud computing to analyze data, detect faults, and send commands to controllers that precisely optimise plant operations, giving them the opportunity to make the most of limited resources and constantly and automatically generate the higher-quality output. Using Outcome
Both the nature of the industry and a universal need for improved reliability and quality mandate that a higher degree of precision be achieved in the monitoring and control of water treatment programs, far greater than that what can be achieved with manual monitoring and closed-loop systems. GE A&C’s IICS solutions truly optimize processes by providing continuous on-line monitoring with an automated feedback loop to the machine are most often a necessary component of any automation & control program.
Using Outcome optimizing control, and analytics based in either Predix or Python & Linux, IICS allows processes such as optimization applications to be based directly next to the machine, at the Edge of industrial processes. Further, CIMPLICITY’s fully compatible HMI software allows for intuitive visualization and further analysis of the resulting data, to provide a broad vantage point over plant operations from anywhere with web access.
In a scenario where it is necessary to monitor and control individual pump performance in real-time via the cloud, and for remote management and load balance systems. An IICS solution has been developed that allows connectivity to the Predix cloud and access to Predix Edge Applications such as Controller Health Check and Asset Performance Management, and compare performance with advanced predictive models and diagnose faults.
In today’s world of brilliant machines, operators require high-performance automation solutions that seamlessly connect their machines, data, and people while ensuring the safety and integrity of their process and equipment.

OPC UA technology allows applications distributed on different hardware platforms to be unified with a common information backbone. OPC UA is a secure, platform-independent, scalable, and object-oriented architecture for representing and communicating information. By using OPC UA, information can be modeled so that applications can inherently derive its meaning and consequently make better decisions based on that meaning. This enables applications to gain intelligence that can lead to new and exciting outcomes in data management.
RXi2-EP IPC is the perfect platform for running GE’s Proficy* software applications or other industrial applications right at the machine, even in the harshest environments. The RXi2-EP IPC provides additional application flexibility with both mini PCI Express and low-profile PCI Express slots. This expandability combined with advanced CPUs delivers high-performance, graphically powerful computing. To help keep data and operations secure, the RXi2-EP utilizes Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Secure Boot technology.
