To test our ability to digitize the natural world and take the first step toward creating better predictive systems, GE embarked on an expedition to see how industrial big data and predictive analytics can inform communities about dangerous volcanic activity.
This repository is home to the source code, data, and documentation for the Digital Volcano. The App is a simple reference demonstrating the use of Predix Services to help you learn how to extend it. It is based on the data set collected from industrial sensors installed in the Masaya Volcano near Nicaragua's capital Managua.
Learn more about the project by taking the Digital Expedition and view the sample app.
