Agreement Date:
Feb 1, 2026 - Jan 31, 2027
Description:
This project develops AI-enabled operational workflow systems that support safe, auditable, and progressively automated execution in aerospace and industrial manufacturing environments.
The system will capture unstructured operational information from day-to-day manufacturing activities, structure it into standardized formats, and route it through controlled, human-supervised workflows that support execution and traceability.
The objective is to reduce coordination failures, administrative overhead, and information loss in safety-critical environments, while maintaining human-in-the-loop oversight and aligning with aerospace and defence requirements for accountable, reliable, risk-managed AI adoption, enabling gradual AI execution.
