XaaSLabs Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA) provides advanced Data Analytics and Workflow Automation software designed to modernize the inspection, risk assessment, and maintenance of critical infrastructure. From steel and concrete structures to complex industrial assets like pipelines, storage tanks, and turbines, our Cognitive Analytics and Generative AI Agent suite identifies workflow bottlenecks and improves the level of automation for manual processes with the SME in full control. We empower Fortune 100 industrial majors and specialized SMEs to streamline Inspection and Maintenance (I&M) workflows while improving decision-making and reporting quality.

Augmented Cognition for Semi-Automated Fleet Maintenance

Problem Statement:

Dry dock duration is a primary constraint on shipyard capacity, directly impacting availability for critical procedures such as Unrestricted Operations (URO) maintenance. These delays create a bottleneck that prevents submarine fleets from returning to operational readiness on schedule. Currently, Inspection and Maintenance (I&M) workflows are hindered by manually intensive processes—specifically in data acquisition, interpretation, and documentation generation—which place a substantial cognitive burden on Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and extend asset downtime

Technology Solution Statement:

XaaSLabs addresses these inefficiencies through an Augmented Cognition software stack, utilizing AI-assisted workflow automation to improve the level of automation in manual tasks and reduce SME cognitive workload. Since 2022, XaaSLabs has been collaborating with shipyards to transition our proven success in heavy industrial sectors—including power generation and marine infrastructure—into the naval environment. Our solution optimizes multiple workflow stages by streamlining data-heavy tasks, ensuring the SME remains in full control while operating with enhanced speed and precision.

Benefits Statement:

  • Enhanced Fleet Readiness: Reduces dry dock duration to accelerate the return of assets to active service.
  • Cognitive Load Reduction: Improves SME productivity and decision-making by mitigating the burden of repetitive analytical tasks.
  • Standardized Quality: Elevates the accuracy and consistency of technical reporting through AI-assisted documentation.
  • Operational Throughput: Increases overall shipyard capacity by improving the efficiency of critical-path Inspection and Maintenance workflows.
