entrusted, that lower the total cost of opera-

or chemical overfeed are common occurrences
that can be detected before a problem becomes
serious.

 Collaboration: Communicating … recognizing
that each customer is comprised of different
groups of people with different roles, responsi-
bilities and informational needs, and providing
each of them with the right information in terms
of its content, form and frequency so that it’s
meaningful and actionable. InSight enables cus-
tomers to choose the way they manage infor-
mation with a wide range of functionality.

or asset, a cluster of assets, an entire plant, or all the
plants in your company, InSight will enable you to
“see it.”
Features
Simplicity: InSight makes it easy to see how well
your applications are performing over a specified
time horizon.
InSight distills extensive amounts of data from multiple Key Perfor-
mance Indicators into a simple aggregate performance indicator tai-
lored to the view of the user whether that by an individual system,
collection of systems or an entire plant.
Graphics and Reports: Self-selected configurations
for graphics and reports put information into for-
mats that have meaning, relevance, and are tailored
to the needs of a variety of user groups.
Drill down capabilities allow for selection, review and analysis of
individual parameters.
Services Reliability Center: An extensive invest-
ment in the infrastructure, people and process
comprise the Service Reliability Center (SRC).
Once a customer has the data from one or more
assets (boilers, cooling towers, etc.) active with
InSight, the professionals of the SRC watch over
those assets … every day. They look for problems,
and notify GE field teams when they see one be-
fore it results in a failure. It’s an extension of the
GE field team, complementing local efforts, provid-
ing a new level of assurance and reliability.
Every customer of InSight is automatically connected to and sup-
ported by the Service Reliability Center.
Data Sources: System architecture allows for data
to be acquired from a wide range of sources and
modes of capture. Some of these include:
 Manual direct entry through personal com-
puters and mobile devices
 Wireless connectivity with controllers, both
those proprietary to GE as well as commonly
available third party devices.
