GE Intelligent Platforms has said that it has acquired SmartSignal, a privately-held, analytics software company based in Lisle, Illinois, which specializes in providing remote monitoring & diagnostics solutions to the Power Generation, Oil & Gas and other industrial sectors.
SmartSignal's services are used to anticipate, prevent, and avoid equipment failure. The company has more than 40 product and technology patents, and has won more than 25 awards for product excellence. SmartSignal detects and identifies abnormal equipment behavior and provides exception-based notifications of developing problems along with diagnoses and prioritizations. Its solutions are device-agnostic and are found on equipment from GE, Siemens, Rolls Royce, Alstom, Flowserve, Waukesha, Byron Jackson, Cooper-Bessemer, and others.
Maryrose Sylvester, President & CEO for GE Intelligent Platforms said the acquisition complements GE’s existing capabilities in diagnostics and equipment analytics, providing the ability to cover a much wider range of asset types and equipment manufacturers for its customers. |
