Taqtile is expanding its presence in US defense manufacturing through a strategic partnership with Wildcat Defense, bringing its Manifest digital work instruction platform to American shipyards and industrial facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement will see Taqtile deploy Manifest across Wildcat\u2019s growing defense industrial portfolio, targeting persistent workforce shortages, knowledge retention challenges and inefficiencies in complex Taqtile manufacturing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manifest enables experienced technicians to capture specialist knowledge and translate it into digital instructions accessible to frontline workers. The technology is designed to accelerate training, standardize procedures and reduce costly operational errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the partnership, Taqtile will work with individual businesses to identify critical workflows, digitize established practices and progressively introduce the platform across industrial operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deployment builds on Taqtile\u2019s existing work supporting US Navy shipyard maintenance, aviation operations and US Army training initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur work with the Navy, Army and other defense organizations has reinforced how much readiness depends on the person performing the task,\u201d said Dirck Schou, CEO and Co-founder, Taqtile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement follows Wildcat Defense\u2019s agreement to acquire Fraser Industries, parent company of Wisconsin-based Fraser Shipyards. Wildcat has outlined plans to invest US$350 million in expanding the shipyard\u2019s workforce and manufacturing capabilities, although the acquisition remains subject to closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Taqtile, the partnership creates an opportunity to extend military maintenance technology into commercial defense manufacturing, where aging workforces and increasingly sophisticated equipment are intensifying pressure on industrial productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The companies intend to replicate successful deployments across Wildcat\u2019s expanding portfolio, embedding digital expertise into everyday industrial operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
