Project Description

The customer is a manufacturer supporting U.S. Navy submarine production, pursuing a strategic modernization of its manual, paper-based shop-floor operations. The business goal is to replace fragmented, paper-driven manufacturing processes with a proprietary AI-enabled workforce readiness platform that gives Foremen, Technicians, QC Inspectors, and Program stakeholders AI-generated work instructions, smart technician assignment, and real-time quality and compliance visibility. The engagement is delivered in two phases across six workstreams: a FedRAMP High/IL4-compliant Google Cloud Platform Landing Zone that establishes the secure cloud foundation, followed by platform development spanning a manufacturing data integration engine, data connector migration, Looker analytics, and a workforce enablement platform powered by four AI agents. Delivery is distributed across multiple delivery locations to balance the teams and specialized skill availability, all within the strict US-persons-only access controls required once the customer's Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is in use.
