GE Energy Japan and NTT DOCOMO have formed a business alliance to provide a new Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution that will combine GE Digital Energy's MDS Orbit Platform, a wireless router for industrial equipment, and DOCOMO's communication module. By combining the operation data acquired by the Orbit platform with DOCOMO's application on the "Toami" IoT cloud platform, users will be able to manage the data on their smartphones and tablets, said NTT DOCOMMO in a statement.
GE's MDS Orbit Platform with DOCOMO's embedded communication module will enable private companies with infrastructure facilities, as well as customers of local governments, to monitor real-time operational data such as temperature and vibration on infrastructure equipment. The solution will enable data to be collected and transmitted across a growing number of applications relating to the management of electricity, gas, water and infrastructure such as plants, roads and bridges.
