GE and Microsoft expand partnership to accelerate IIoT adoption

Malek Murison for Internet of Business:  GE and Microsoft have significantly expanded their partnership to provide a simpler path for industrial companies taking on digital transformation projects.

The move will see GE Digital standardise its Predix solutions for Microsoft Azure, and integrate the Predix portfolio with Azure’s cloud-based data and analytics tools.

GE and Microsoft will co-sell their combined IIoT solutions across a range of verticals. Meanwhile, GE will be harnessing Microsoft Azure to streamline its own business processes, applying Azure’s IT workload and productivity tools to drive innovation internally.

Microsoft and GE are betting on industrial customers seeing the value in a joint solution that combines GE Digital’s expertise in industrial data-gathering, storage, and analysis, with Microsoft’s expanding range of cloud tools.  Full Article:

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
