DLA Energy needed a shared view of global fuel inventories and potential disruptions. Separate data sources complicated inventory inquiries and operational planning.

Approach

Directorates began using PLUTO in October 2024. The platform combined global energy data with AI and machine learning for risk forecasting and inventory management. Scenario modeling helped users examine disruptions and alternative supply arrangements.

Results
