  • NitecLLC Spinoff Announcement

    NitecLLC Spinoff Announcement

    NITEC LLC announces the spinoff of its Multi-Objective, Many Agents inverse solution technology for enterprise-level decision intelligence under a new company, AIMOO LLC.  After years of solving complex reservoir engineering challenges, we’ve developed powerful technology that’s now available as a standalone product (globalMOO™) to solve multi-objective problems outside of the realm of reservoir engineering.   

    globalMOO™ inversely solves complex numerical models, including black-box AI models, enabled by many agents that mimic the inference process used by human subject matter experts.  This unique product is used in optimizing multiple objectives that cannot be simplified to a single performance index, as well as in calibrating complex numerical models to known outcomes.  Naturally, the trained agents can be deployed at the edge for near real-time decision support. 

    The new company will be managed by Dr. Tuba Firincioglu, while maintaining her existing position as the Managing Director of NITEC LLC.  Dr. Firincioglu said; “We’re driven by the belief that organizations should have access to a powerful and trustworthy decision intelligence tool. With our globalMOO™ inverse solution product, you can have both.” 

    To learn more, visit globalMOO.com and explore how this breakthrough technology can transform your optimization challenges.  NITEC LLC continues to provide industry-leading reservoir engineering consultancy.
