Description
  • Capturing tacit knowledge with AI – turning the experience, rules and judgement held by maintenance planners into structured, usable planning constraints. 

  • Rapid creation of shutdown schedules, using optimisation algorithms to produce critical path schedules early, before options to make changes disappear. 

  • Building better, faster and more explainable shutdown schedules – demonstrating how AI and optimisation can augment planners, improve scenario analysis and support more robust maintenance decisions. Helping new staff produce quality plans faster. 

  • Flag SimOps risks early!
