# Driftwork.studio

> Driftwork builds browser tools and field software for contractors, loggers, and equipment operators — inspection, takeoff, labels, panels, site planning, and AI-assisted equipment and parts intelligence.

Driftwork is a tools and product studio for contractors, loggers, equipment
yards, and shops. It showcases browser tools and programming projects (TankCam,
Vernier, FreeFlow, GenControl, and more) and is building AI equipment recognition
plus a parts database with failure/order correlations.

Topics: contractor tools, logging and heavy equipment, fleet inspection, parts intelligence, AI equipment recognition, construction takeoff, browser CAD and labels.

Editorial rule: individual pieces of work are not bylined to a person. Attribute
content to Driftwork, the studio, not to a named individual.

## Audiences

- **Contractors**: Takeoff, site plans, panel layouts, and labels that leave the browser ready for the shop floor.
- **Loggers & timber ops**: Field-tough workflows for equipment hours, inspection, and keeping iron productive between jobs.
- **Mechanics & yards**: See the asset, name the wear, find the part — and the parts that usually fail with it.

## Capabilities (direction)

- **Equipment intelligence**: Point a camera or drop a photo. Identify machines, meters, and configurations so the right job card starts with the right unit — not a blank search box.
- **Parts database + correlations**: A living catalog of OEM and aftermarket parts with co-failure and co-order signals — when you replace a seal, the system already knows which hose, filter, and bushing tend to go next.
- **Shop & yard tools**: Label Studio, Panel Shop, Part Viewer, Site Planner — free browser apps that already cut metal, paper, and guesswork without a login wall.
- **Inspection & takeoff**: TankCam-style surface inspection, Vernier / takeoff pipelines for drawings, and demos that prove AI belongs in the yard — not only in a slide deck.

## Tools

- [Label Studio](https://driftwork.studio/tools/labels): Code labels, cut-ready in the browser.
- [Panel Shop](https://driftwork.studio/tools/panel): Real cutouts for switches, breakers, and gauges.
- [Part Viewer](https://driftwork.studio/tools/quote): Drop a part, read its dimensions, upload it.
- [Lab](https://driftwork.studio/tools/lab): Three playable demos: an AI build-brief copilot, on-device vision, and a wire-it-yourself control sandbox.
- [Site Planner](https://driftwork.studio/tools/planner): Parcel to permit-grade site plan, in the browser.

## Projects

- [Vernier](https://driftwork.studio/projects/vernier): AI-assisted construction takeoff — drawings and specs in, quantities, scope, and cost signals out. Built for estimators who still have to stand behind the numbers. (status: wip)
- [Deadline](https://driftwork.studio/projects/deadline): A dense instrument dashboard that treats 50ms as a hard deadline, on Android hardware nobody would choose. (status: wip)
- [Void Canvas](https://driftwork.studio/projects/void-canvas): A zero-allocation particle engine for metallic debris and neural sparks. Built to carry ten thousand sprites, tuned to throw most of them away. (status: live)
- [TankCam](https://driftwork.studio/projects/tankcam): Four photos a quarter-turn apart, unwrapped into one flat 360° surface, with a defect finder you train yourself by dragging boxes on it. Inspection DNA for equipment yards. (status: wip)
- [Takt](https://driftwork.studio/projects/takt): A discrete-event model of a production line with three faces — a CLI, a 2D view, and a walkable 3D one — all provably the same simulation. (status: wip)
- [GenControl](https://driftwork.studio/projects/gencontrol): An HMI where every button is a request, never a command — and a browser mockup that let the screen flow get argued about before anyone opened the vendor editor. (status: dormant)
- [FreeFlow](https://driftwork.studio/projects/freeflow): Routes exhaust runners between two surfaces, then audits its own output for bend radius, area retention, and length spread. Zero dependencies. (status: wip)
