The US manufacturing sector faces a significant loss of institutional knowledge as its experienced workforce, with an average tenure of 30 years, begins to retire.

Dirac relaunched its BuildOS platform in April 2024 as an enterprise-grade, ITAR-compliant product after a six-month rebuild.

Dirac's AI strategy is to first use its platform to aggregate and structure manufacturing "tribal knowledge" before layering on LLMs to derive value from that proprietary data.

According to Dirac's founder, modern manufacturing for complex systems like planes and missiles still relies on archaic, paper-based work instructions that take weeks or months to create.

Dirac's BuildOS platform can take a CAD file as input, automatically determine the assembly sequence, and generate 80-90% of the required work instructions.
