Aggreko has signed a multiyear agreement with GE’s Distributed Power business, to connect up to 10,000 assets to GE’s myPlant Asset Performance Management (APM) solution over the next five years.
The project, the largest to date for GE’s Distributed Power myPlant offering, will be first deployed on-site during Q4 2018, and will provide a cloud-based monitoring and diagnostics infrastructure to remotely manage the performance of Aggreko’s fleet of mobile, modular power plants.
Aggreko, the market pioneer of portable hire power, heating, cooling, and energy services, will be able to gain real-time intelligence for better decision-making – which will increase the asset’s uptime at customer sites, bringing the benefits through to the customer.
Widespread fleet
“With Aggreko’s globally mobile and geographically widespread fleet, this agreement will provide us with the ability to remotely monitor hundreds of thousands of sensors across our power generation fleet,” said Dr. Volker Schulte, Group Manufacturing & Technology Director, Aggreko plc.
“This will allow us to improve our performance and prevent system disruptions so we can better serve our customers around the world.”
