Anduril Selects Dirac to Power AI-Driven Work Instructions Across Its Factories

Anduril has selected Dirac as its core partner for AI-driven work instruction authoring across its manufacturing operations in a multi-year deal, following an extensive evaluation of incumbent enterprise solutions and internal development. Across initial deployments, Anduril observed an average 87.5% reduction in work instruction authoring time, collapsing a process that previously took 12 business hours into just 90 minutes.

From Static Docs to Live Execution: Why BuildOS Replaces SolidWorks Composer & Creo Illustrate on the Shop Floor

A comparison of legacy documentation tools like SolidWorks Composer and Creo Illustrate with BuildOS for creating manufacturing work instructions. Traditional tools are built for technical publishing, produce static PDFs and images, and require manual, repetitive setup that lags behind engineering changes. BuildOS instead turns automatically CAD directly into interactive, animated build sequences that operators use on the floor. The result is faster updates, fewer errors, and production-ready instructions that support real-time execution rather than just documentation.
