Your industry, your people
System 1* is designed for use by a broad cross-section of plant personnel in
virtually any industry – including management, operators, equipment engineers, process
engineers, instrument technicians, maintenance and reliability personnel, and many others.
Customizable Decision Support* – the System 1 difference
While its diagnostic tools can be used for manually assessing conditions and to “dig deeper” when
an event requires in-depth analysis, what truly distinguishes the System 1 platform is its ability to
provide sophisticated Decision Support information. System 1 can automatically analyze its
collected data and transform this into Actionable Information* advisories for optimization or
diagnostics. It does this through two complementary methods. The first is with pre-engineered
RulePaks that are designed and built by our domain experts, and can be embedded into the
system for a specific application. The second is with a flexible and highly intuitive rule-building
utility, allowing users to embed their unique optimization and diagnostic knowledge of equipment
and processes into a powerful and fully customized knowledge base reflecting the specific needs
of each asset, process, and plant. Not only can its diagnostic capabilities be customized and
augmented, but users can also embed their unique responses to conditions. Who is notified, how
they are notified, and what they are told to do in response to an event is all completely
configurable, allowing you to optimize your plant your way.
Open, industry-standard technologies
The System 1 platform from GE Energy features a powerful client /server architecture, utilizing
today’s generation of robust Microsoft® Windows® operating systems and server technologies,
while supporting both standard web browser and purpose-built display clients. The System 1
database uses Microsoft® SQL technology, optimized for extremely fast data storage and event
capture, high-resolution trending and alarming, powerful exception reporting and user notification
features, and comprehensive equipment properties and configuration information. An extensive
variety of capabilities exist for importing and exporting data between System 1 and process
control and automation systems, supplementary condition monitoring technologies, CMMS and
EAM systems, reliability software, ERP and other business systems, engineering software,
spreadsheets, word
processors, and many others.
Flexibility and scalability for broadest applicability
The System 1 platform has been specifically designed for maximum scalability and flexibility,
allowing users to easily configure the system to reflect their unique assets, processes, and
operating practices. Whether hosting a single portable data collection instrument as part of
a Predictive Maintenance program at a single plant, or addressing hundreds of thousands of
assets across a global enterprise, the System 1 platform is designed to fit your requirements
today and tomorrow.
