Dirac Brings AI-Driven Process Planning to Enterprise Manufacturers on Microsoft Azure PR Newswire Wed, August 19, 2026 at 9:05 AM EDT 2 min read Dirac is aligning with Microsoft to increase visibility across aerospace & defense and the broader industrial base to replace the legacy process planning stack with AI NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dirac, Inc. is expanding its work with Microsoft, bringing BuildOS, its AI-native process planning platform, to manufacturers across aerospace & defense, industrial equipment, and agriculture and construction machinery. Dirac has earned co-sell ready status from Microsoft which allows them to work with Microsoft on various go-to-market strategies while giving them increased visibility throughout Microsoft's ecosystem. This puts AI to work across the core engineering loop, from design and simulation through engineering change. BuildOS carries that intelligence the rest of the way, onto the shop floor. BuildOS is a new generation of manufacturing process planning: the system of record for how complex products get built. Working directly from CAD and PLM data, its AI maintains a live, connected model of the product and the factory, and generates from what manufacturers have historically stitched together across half a dozen enterprise applications and stacks of manually authored documents: the process plans, work instructions, and change propagation that put engineering intent on the floor. The AI parses new designs, drafts the plans, and propagates engineering changes, with engineers approving instead of authoring. When the design changes, the floor changes with it. Across Dirac's customer base, manufacturers running BuildOS report: Up to 95% reduction in time to create work instructions Up to 85% faster engineering change order (ECO) release cycles Up to 95% faster new operator onboarding, critical when scaling production BuildOS runs its AI on Microsoft Azure: GPU-enabled Azure Virtual Machines power CAD processing and 3D rendering, application data is managed in Azure DB for PostgreSQL, and customer CAD files are stored in Azure Blob Storage, all encrypted with customer-managed keys held in Azure Key Vault. For manufacturers whose design and engineering data lives in Azure, BuildOS closes the distance between that data and the people building the product. "The manufacturers we serve have made major commitments to Microsoft Azure, and working with Microsoft puts BuildOS inside the buying motion those customers already trust," said Fil Aronshtein, co-founder and CEO of Dirac. "Every serious manufacturer is being asked to build more, faster, with fewer experienced hands. AI is how they get there, BuildOS is where it goes to work, and Microsoft is how it reaches them." BuildOS is available now in Microsoft Marketplace, where manufacturers can provision, purchase, and deploy it against existing Azure spend commitments, without a separate procurement cycle: [ https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/diracinc.dirac-buildos ]. Dirac is the company behind BuildOS, the AI Build Platform: one live, model-based system connecting design, planning, and execution, thus replacing the static, document-driven way complex products have been made for decades. Dirac is based in New York. Learn more at diracinc.com.

AI 시장 분석
Dirac has launched its AI-driven process planning platform, BuildOS, on Microsoft Azure and achieved co-sell ready status. Through this partnership, manufacturing companies in aerospace, defense, and industrial equipment can leverage CAD and PLM data to reduce work instruction generation time by up to 95% and engineering change cycles by 85%. This accelerates digital transformation in manufacturing and is expected to positively impact the expansion of Microsoft's cloud ecosystem.
상승 영향
- Cloud Computing — As Dirac's BuildOS is fully integrated into Microsoft Azure and made available for purchase in the marketplace, Azure cloud usage and related infrastructure revenue will directly increase.
- Artificial Intelligence — Generative AI is being fully applied to manufacturing process planning, accelerating the practical commercialization and monetization of the enterprise AI market, such as reducing work instruction generation time by up to 95%.
- Defense — Aerospace and defense manufacturing companies will adopt BuildOS to maximize production efficiency, such as reducing engineering change cycles by 85%, thereby benefiting from cost reduction and enhanced productivity.
DYAX 전담 분석
With the integration of Dirac's BuildOS platform into Microsoft Azure, enterprise manufacturers can move away from traditional manual documentation and adopt AI-driven real-time process planning. In particular, utilizing GPU-based Azure Virtual Machines and Azure databases maximizes CAD processing and 3D rendering performance, while enabling easy procurement through the Microsoft Marketplace, which is expected to drive related revenue growth.
Future stock price movements will be determined by the adoption rate of Azure cloud among manufacturing customers and the speed of BuildOS deployment expansion. Key indicators to watch include transaction volume through the Microsoft Marketplace, performance tied to Azure spend commitments, and actual productivity improvements for manufacturing customers.
