Key Takeaways:

  • Rolls-Royce launched its "IntelligentEngine" project, applying machine intelligence, Big Data, and AI to aircraft engines, moving beyond typical "internet of things" applications.
  • These advanced engines are designed to be "aware" of their environment, learn from their own and other engines' experiences, and communicate to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability.
  • The vision for IntelligentEngines includes capabilities like anticipating maintenance needs, making real-time adjustments to operating conditions, and potentially performing self-repair or maintenance in the future.

Mention the “internet of things” to most people today and they immediately think of a refrigerator sending the grocery list to a smart phone or Amazon’s Alexa digging through Cyberspace to send that special someone an original 1965 vinyl of the Turtles album “It Ain’t Me Babe.”
