While the Predix product was being aggressively developed at GE Digital's shiny new headquarters in San Ramon, California...
The MxD institute effectively gave all would-be resources to GE Research to steward the Digital Manufacturing Commons open-source project where it was actively undercut in endless bureaucracy and, what I regard as, active sabatoge.
The MxD institute had software developers on staff that I can vouch for personally that were sidelined.
