The Problem

Tribal knowledge is the most valuable operational and maintenance information for organizations and skilled labor forces. This knowledge is not currently being captured. Meanwhile, the most knowledgeable talent is rapidly retiring due to attrition in the aging workforce. This is happening while demand surges within these skilled labor trades (aviation maintenance, infrastructure maintenance, etc.) Moreover, organizations have massive amounts of disparate technical data to manage with no way to access it easily.

Solution

Kilsar has developed an AL-ML based software software platform that serves customers across the DoD, aviation, aerospace, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. Kilsar enables users to capture, preserve, and distribute valuable tribal knowledge from senior technicians and operators in order to skill up and train talent quicker. Kilsar’s platform has proven to reduce operational efficiency, reduce cognitive burden, enhance data security, and improve time-to-diagnose and repair expensive equipment and systems.

Kilsar's platform revolutionizes assembly and maintenance operations by reducing shop turnover time and automating the integration of both legacy and digital processes. By leveraging proprietary deep learning infrastructure and maintainer human-in-the-loop feedback, the platform fuses data from historical flight records, institutional knowledge, and sensor data to provide accurate diagnostics and guided troubleshooting workflows. This results in a reduction of mean-time-to-repair and offers predictive insights for supply chain needs and maintenance recommendations.

Key features include custom AI-generated workflows, real-time video-teleconferencing and chat capabilities, and data analytics accessed through a simple conversational query to the AI engine. The platform enhances maintenance capabilities, improves workflow efficiency, reduces operational costs, and increases system readiness and safety.
