Earlier this year, Dirac announced the general launch of BuildOS, the first automated platform for creating and managing model-based work instructions. This release comes alongside a swell of momentum for the company, including $10.7M in funding and a new strategic partnership with Siemens to accelerate digital transformation for manufacturers around the world.

Across aerospace, shipbuilding, and defense manufacturing, many frontline operations still rely on printed PDFs, outdated SOPs, and manual walkthroughs for training and task execution. Critical process knowledge—how to torque a joint, how to set up for a test, which sequence to follow when things go wrong—lives almost entirely in the heads of senior technicians. As retirement rates surge and production targets climb, defense and Tier 1 suppliers face a growing bottleneck: engineering files exist, but they're unusable without extensive onboarding.","length":636,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"This isn't just inefficient.
