The final hat I'll put on for today is as a technician on the production floor or in the shipyard. I've just closed my first task here of fitting the bit and now it's time to move on to my. Weld and you'll notice that as soon as we open this page, we actually kicked off this timer in the lower left hand corner. So we can now track cycle time of each individual task and each op card. We can use that to do all kinds of advanced analytics on, you know, quality issues or performance or what's a really clear work instruction versus what's a work instruction. Someone's gotta reread five times. So this is pretty helpful. Again, just building that data asset as we go to keep enriching our operating system with smarter and smarter decisions. Yeah, I like the feedback loop you're talking about here of getting that, getting that straight from the people on the factory floor, helping them accelerate, you know, through their work by having good clear instructions that are up to date. But also that feedback loop of when they're not, you know, people talk about it. My data needs to be perfect before I can do a I absolutely not actually. It should be imperfect with a good process for people to give feedback and correct and. And I think that's like. This is a great example of if you're really out on the factory floor doing this stuff and you're like, man, that was not clear because the person made this is sitting over here. I've done it like giving that feedback loop of whether it's in work instructions or hey, I have something's not compliant, right? I think those are the interesting parts here of like we truly are creating the UDA loop for manufacturing. Yeah, one of the coolest things I saw one of our teams build recently. I won't give away too many details, but basically they saw a repeating pattern in quality issues which they were able to extract with AIP. That a particular screw was getting installed facing the wrong way and it was causing all kinds of disruptions to the line and the screw wasn't getting caught until it had moved further into the assembly process. No one was like checking this one individual screw. And so they were able to just automatically make the recommendation as soon as they ingested all the data of hey, you should go fix your work instructions so that it says install the screw, you know, north-south instead of east. East, West or whatever. And you should also have someone check the screw when it's coming off of this production step a little bit earlier than when you're catching it. And something as small as that, you know, it kind of feels like a no brainer when you say it out loud. But no one would have the time to be parsing through thousands of these OP cards and thousands of these quality issues to actually be drawing those patterns. Yeah. I mean, it's it's really easy for me to sit here and say that in an office, but when you're on the factory floor trying to do that. It is a whole nother ball game of complexity and it's not always clear what people were intending. So I think that's that's cool that we can now give both sides the feedback loop and we can help find issues and correct them sooner. I think that's just the flywheel we're talking about with warp speed. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, really, we want to get folks on the floor pushing less paperwork and doing the stuff they're really uniquely good at, whether that's drilling holes or, you know, cutting these pieces or welding this bit. So that's been also kind of a fun goal for us along the way.
IYH Meredith demonstrates the resolution of a safety-critical (P0) quality issue concerning a defective ship component (bit 3).
W "Time-Specific View" allows the system to capture the "view of the world at the point in time" the issue occurred, which is a uniquely 'wicked' difficult problem in traditional systems. Events returned include raw material POs, tool updates (eg new welder brought online), and ECNs.
Really tons of neat integrated innovations wow.
This demo just showed what “digital lean” looks like at warp speed. One P0 safety defect → ontology instantly surfaces every PO, tool change, ECN that touched the part; AIP agents propose the geometry fix, auto-date the effectivity by scrap + lead-time cost, branch the supply plan, redline the OPC cards, push the warning to open work orders, force a weld-photo, && restart the loop if the next reading is 0.01 mm out. From RCA root-cause to re-work in minutes, not weeks and no email chains, no Excel on SP, no tribal knowledge chase-down.
Awesome.
Meredith Bertasi did you by any chance take classes of Prof Warren Powell ?
Over the last months, we have been developing a next-generation nanoscopic technique based on scroll-graphene photonic emitters, sub-mrad nanolaser tips (≈60 nm), resonant cavities between 500–900 nm, and high-divergence-control GaN/Violet laser injection.
What surprised us is that these hybrid photonic–plasmonic interactions allowed us to visualize sub-100 nm structural signatures inside graphene-based assemblies without electron beams — using only controlled optical resonance and ultra-high-purity materials.
It is obviously not atomic ptychography, but the fact that such optical behavior emerges at these scales opens a very interesting path:
💡 bridging classical photonics with quasi-atomic resonance patterns in engineered nanomaterials.
Your post perfectly frames why this matters: every new method that allows us to peer deeper into the architecture of matter expands the design space for future materials, quantum devices, and advanced energy systems.
Thank you again for the clarity and for inspiring this global scientific conversation.
