Vela
Vela provides an AI-driven project delivery platform for power infrastructure teams, tracking changes across drawings, supplier questions, and project records to flag downstream impacts on orders, schedules, and equipment. The platform builds a project model linking equipment, drawings, and schedules, and uses AI agents to compare equipment listings against design bases and prepare engineering reviews. It connects to 60+ tools including Autodesk Docs, Procore, SAP Ariba, Gmail, and Primavera P6.

Problem
Power infrastructure projects involve complex, interconnected records—drawings, purchase orders, supplier threads, and schedules—that live across disconnected tools. When an engineering change occurs, teams struggle to trace its downstream impact on orders, lead times, and installation dates, leading to delays and missed risks that push out power-on.
Solution
Vela provides an AI-driven project delivery platform that automatically tracks changes across drawings, supplier questions, and project records, and maps how each change affects the broader project. It builds a project model that ties equipment, drawings, orders, and schedules together on a single-line view, and flags affected records—such as purchase orders, supplier threads, and schedule activities—when a revision occurs. For equipment procurement, Vela compares candidate equipment listings against the project design basis, identifies specification differences, and prepares engineering review requests or seller questions automatically. The platform also supports utility interconnection by helping teams answer RFIs and restudies faster, with AI agents reading public reseller sites and flagging out-of-basis units.
Target Audience
Primary users are power infrastructure owners, developers, and EPC teams who need to track drawing revisions, manage equipment procurement, and keep interconnection applications moving across complex, multi-tool project environments.
Features
- AI-powered project model linking drawings, orders, schedules, and supplier conversations to the specific equipment they describe
- Automated change impact tracing that identifies which purchase orders, supplier threads, and schedule activities are affected by a new drawing revision
- Equipment listing comparison that pits candidate units against the design basis and flags voltage, rating, impedance, tap, and vector group differences
- Cloud agents that open reseller sites, read public listings, and draft seller questions or engineering review requests for out-of-basis specifications
- Connectors for 60+ tools including Autodesk Docs, Procore, SAP Ariba, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Primavera P6, and Salesforce
- Utility interconnection support for answering RFIs and navigating restudies with tracked applications and requirements
