GE and Accenture launched the Intelligent Pipeline Solution, the first-ever industrial Internet offering designed to help pipeline operators make better decisions concerning the condition of their critical machines and assets in the oil and gas pipeline industry. It combines Pipeline Management, a GE Predictivity software solution powered by the Predix platform, with Accenture’s digital technology and systems integration capabilities. Columbia Pipeline Group (CPG), located within the Marcellus and Utica shale plays, will be the first customer to implement this technology across its network of 15,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipelines.
“We need an agile and comprehensive pipeline solution that could be delivered quickly and allows for a more real-time view of pipeline integrity across our interstate natural gas pipelines,” said Shawn Patterson, president, operations and project delivery, of CPG. “GE’s industrial Internet software platform and extensive pipeline equipment and inspection capabilities combined with Accenture’s strong industry knowledge, digital capabilities and experience with business process and systems integration made them the clear choice for CPG.”
The product is the first to be co-developed and brought to market as part of a strategic global alliance formed by GE and Accenture in 2013. Together the partners will develop technology and analytics applications that help wide-ranging industries take advantage of the massive amounts of data generated through business operations.
