Delivering the Decision Advantage

Ensure readiness by creating digital threads with AI + robotics for full asset life cycle management.

Build. Maintain. Modernize.

Cantilever® Operating Platform

Manage Asset Health from Sea to Shore

Cantilever is our dual-use operating platform powered by AI and robotics (AIR) to accelerate decision-making at every stage of asset life cycles – from design to disposal.

Seamlessly acquire, aggregate, and integrate critical data layers into one extensible platform to create a digital thread across all components, processes, and suppliers, improving transparency and auditability.

Build

Accelerate the Industrial Base

APPLICATIONS

Advanced Manufacturing

AI and robotics transform how critical assets are manufactured, creating digital twins and digital threads to expedite throughput while improving processes and quality.

Gecko robotically acquires and integrates data to establish digital baselines that reduce inspection times by over 90%, going from several weeks to mere hours. Gecko's Cantilever software helps automate critical quality assurance workflows in the production line.
