For operations

AiNOS Drill

Run the operation a thousand times before it happens.

Drill turns the physical laws of an operation and its own data into a simulation that runs forward, varies every dial on purpose and replays any run to its cause.

How it works

Parametrise
The operation's physical laws and its own data become dials: speeds, capacities, arrival and failure rates.
Run
The operation runs forward many times, with the dials varied on purpose.
Replay
Every run is deterministic, so any failure can be scrubbed back to its cause.
Decide
Options are compared with their evidence, and the planner chooses.

Human-behaviour research will extend scenario inputs to task timing, movement and interactions, with assumptions checked against observed work. See the research
