Meet Baxter, a smart collaborative #robot (aka “cobot”) helping to create the factories of the future. Unlike traditional robots, Baxter learns by training, rather than by programming. Human #engineers can train Baxter in just around fifteen minutes by moving him around with their hands.

JJ + Ultrasound Inspection Robot = an extremely sound #PowerCouple. The #innovative inspection robot, or “Rachel” as JJ calls her, uses ultrasound waves sent through water to carefully inspect #GE9X jet engine parts for tiny wrinkles, creases and imperfections. Then JJ diagnoses any issues. Together they’ve reduced inspection times by 90%. #GE #PowerCouples #MachineCrushMonday #ListenUp #Ultrasound Photos by @ilitchpeters

We’d like to wish everyone a Happy #FourthofJuly! The American flag hangs above the factory floor of one of our #locomotive manufacturing facilities. #railfan #IndependenceDay
How can #transportation make a #globalimpact? Our work with Pakistan is just one example. Pakistan’s #railsystem needed a serious update—most of its rail equipment hasn’t been updated since 1950. So we’re providing the power of our EVOs, the 4,500-horsepower #locomotives that can go farther and faster on less fuel. We couldn’t do it without #engineers working together from across the globe. From assembly in Erie, PA to getting the EVOs up and running in Karachi, Pakistan we’re helping modernize the country’s infrastructure and boost its economy. Swipe through to see the EVOs’ fuel efficient journey. #railfan

Having access to reliable #energy fuels economic growth. But supplying reliable energy to countries with limited access is no simple task—it requires the collaboration of #engineers around the world. For example, in just 4 years we’ve helped to expand Algeria’s energy capacity by 70%. Swipe through to see how #manufacturing employees and engineers in Algeria, South Carolina and globally have teamed up with the goal of bringing another 11GW of power to Algeria, using a combination of digital analytics and the latest #gasturbine #technology. That’s what we call #globalimpact.

Crafting the next-gen LEAP engine wouldn’t have been possible without engineers collaborating around the world. @geaviation and France’s Safran Aircraft Engines came together as a joint venture called @cfm_international to develop the LEAP’s revolutionary design. #GE employees in our U.S. and global facilities manufactured, assembled and tested the LEAP’s advanced parts. They are part of how we are delivering 10,000 more engines to customers around the world by 2020. Swipe through to see #globalimpact.

Our LEAP engine has enough force to power @boeing planes in service for more than 10 hours a day on average, achieving 96 percent utilization. How? The LEAP includes 3D-printed fuel nozzles, parts from space-age ceramic composites and everything from its development to service is monitored using the #digitalthread. Swipe through to see the LEAP in action at the #ParisAirShow. Learn more at the link in our bio. #GE #Aviation #avgeek

You could say the LEAP #engine is a show-stopper. Thanks to its revolutionary design, the LEAP is 15% more fuel efficient than its predecessors. And this impact goes the distance. Aircrafts currently powered by LEAP engines carry more than 5 million passengers for 15 airlines on 5 continents. With @cfm_international, a joint venture between @geaviation and Safran Aircraft Engines of France, we're delivering 10,000 more of these powerful engines by 2020.

Daniel + Inspection Robot = dynamic #PowerCouple. Daniel programs the robot to optimize how it does 360° jet #engine inspections. And the robot takes photos that are so high-res they can catch subtleties a human might miss—like the number of threads showing on an improperly tightened bolt. It’s this dynamic teamwork that’s transforming how LEAP jet engines are manufactured. Swipe through to see more, and check out our Instagram Story for a behind-the scenes look at these two doing their thing in our #Aviation Plant in Lafayette, IN. #GE #Innovation #MachineCrushMonday Photos by @ilitchpeters Read more about the LEAP at the #parisairshow by heading to the link in our bio.

Happy #globalwindday! We’re excited to launch a new startup called Avitas Systems which harnesses the power of advanced robotics #technology, predictive data analytics and artificial intelligence to improve inspection processes. Technologies like #drones will take on high-risk tasks to ensure facilities across oil and gas, transportation and energy industries are functioning as efficiently as possible. Head to the link in our bio to learn more.
