Dirac Brings BuildOS Process Planning Platform to Microsoft Azure

Dirac has expanded its work with Microsoft to bring BuildOS, its AI process planning platform, to enterprise manufacturers on Microsoft Azure, the company announced in a press release. The platform is available now in Microsoft Marketplace, where manufacturers can provision, buy, and deploy it against existing Azure spend commitments.

BuildOS works from CAD and PLM data to create process plans, work instructions, and change updates for factory teams. The system keeps a connected model of the product and factory, drafts plans from new designs, and routes engineering changes for approval.

BuildOS runs its AI on Azure Virtual Machines with GPUs for CAD processing and 3D rendering. It uses Azure DB for PostgreSQL for application data and Azure Blob Storage for customer CAD files, with encryption keys held in Azure Key Vault and managed by customers.

Customer metrics listed for BuildOS include reductions of up to 95 percent in work instruction creation time, up to 85 percent faster engineering change order release cycles, up to 85 percent faster initial build time, and up to 95 percent faster onboarding for new operators.
