ARTIFICER: Augmented Reasoner Tool Intelligence For Improved Coordination, Efficiency, and Remediation

To meet the Air Force’s need for an intuitive unified picture of their facility data that will anticipate maintenance needs and augment personnel coordination to maximize air platform readiness, we propose ARTIFICER – a human-centered AI/ML digital assistant that will decrease maintenance equipment and process downtime, accelerate coordination, and enrich user understanding of facility state. As a cross-platform and web-based application, maintainers will have access to the information they need when they need it, in an intuitive and engaging form. Users, across experience levels, will understand the current system state through the consolidation and visualization of data from across disparate sources, and diagnosis and repair will be accelerated thanks to ARTIFICER’s recommendation system. As a proactive AI digital assistant, ARTIFICER will aim to anticipate the needs of its users to accelerate their ability to troubleshoot problems that would lead to system downtime by applying deep learning to translate facility data into actionable insights. Ultimately, ARTIFICER will help Air Force maintenance personnel achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness, leading to the increased readiness of air platforms.
