GE unveils remote operations for oil & gas industries

GE Digital has introduced Remote Operations for oil & gas and chemical Industries, a software and appliance solution that provides remote / mobile employee access to essential equipment monitoring and control functions.

GE Digital began offering Remote Operations earlier in 2020 in the Power Generation industry and already has many leading worldwide industrial customers using the solution.
