I-Apple iyaqhubeka nobudlelwano bayo kanye nokuthengwa kwezinkampani ukumboza ngangokunokwenzeka kuyo yonke imikhakha. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule sabona izindaba ngomzamo wokuthenga umtholampilo ukuze unwebe futhi uthuthukise imininingwane yezempilo yabasebenzisi bawo, manje isikhulu siyavela ukubambisana okusha phakathi kwe-Apple ne-GE.
Labo abavela eCupertino benza ukunyakaza okubaliwe futhi bayazi ukuthi izinkampani, umkhakha wezemfundo nodokotela banesisindo esiningi namuhla, ngakho-ke ukuzibandakanya nabo kuyindlela enhle kakhulu. Kulokhu, ukusebenzisana kudlula Diliva izinhlelo zokusebenza zezimboni ezinamandla ngePredix analytics nedatha yokubikezela ku-iPhone naku-iPad, Ipulatifomu ye-GE's IoT (Internet of Things).
Ngokuqinisekile abaningi benu - njengami - abazi nakancane ukuthi i-GE iyini. Kulungile, I-GE yinkampani yezimboni yedijithali yomhlaba wonke eguqula imboni ngemishini esekwe kwisoftware nezixazululo ezixhunyiwe nezibikezelayo. I-GE ihlelwe isikhungo sokushintshana ngolwazi emhlabeni wonke, i- "GE Store", lapho indawo ngayinye yebhizinisi yabelana futhi ifinyelela khona ubuchwepheshe obufanayo, izimakethe, isakhiwo nolwazi. Ukusungulwa ngakunye kukhuthaza ukuqamba nokusetshenziswa kuzo zonke izimboni abazimbandakanya kuzo. Ngabantu bayo, izinsizakalo, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokufinyelela, i-GE inikeza imiphumela engcono yamakhasimende ngoba ikhuluma ulimi lomkhakha.
Kufanele sisho lokho Amazwi kaTim Cook, mayelana nale nhlangano kucacile:
U-GE unguzakwethu ofanelekile onolwazi oluningi emisha emkhakheni wezimboni, ezindaweni ezifana nezindiza, ukukhiqiza, ukunakekelwa kwezempilo namandla. Ngokubambisana, i-Apple ne-GE bazoguqula ngokuphelele indlela umkhakha osebenza ngayo, ngokuhlanganisa ipulatifomu ye-GE's Predix ngamandla nobulula be-iPhone ne-iPad.
Ngokwengxenye yakhe uJohn Flannery, UMongameli kanye noMphathi Omkhulu we-GE uyachaza:
Ukusebenzisana kwe-Apple ne-GE kunikeza onjiniyela ngamathuluzi okwenza izinhlelo zabo zezimboni ze-IoT. Amakhasimende ethu aya ngokuya edinga ukuhlomisa izifanekiso zawo ngamathuluzi eselula. Ngokubambisana, i-GE ne-Apple bazohlinzeka izinkampani zezimboni ukufinyelela kuzinhlelo zokusebenza ezinamandla ezibavumela ukuthi basebenzise idatha ye-Predix predictive kanye ne-analytics ngqo kwi-iPhone yabo noma i-iPad.
Kuzona zozimbili lezi zimo kubukeka sengathi lokhu kusebenzisana kunentshisekelo kubo futhi kusobala ukuthi lokhu kuzuzisa zombili lezi zinkampani. IPredix SDK entsha ye-iOS izotholakalela ukulandwa kusuka ngoLwesine, Okthoba 26. I-SDK izovumela abathuthukisi ukuthi bakhe izinhlelo zokusebenza ezinamandla zomdabu ezisizakala ngokugcwele nge-Predix's analytics yedatha nokusebenza kahle nokusebenziseka kalula kwe-iOS.
