Behind TILOS stands ObjectReef—a technology platform developed and owned by Human Dialog.
ObjectReef enabled the unique time-location planning capabilities for which TILOS became known and continues to provide the technological foundation for its evolution.
ObjectReef for developers
ObjectReef.dev provides detailed information about the platform, its programming model, developer resources, and ways to build complex business applications.
ObjectReef
For more than two decades, TILOS has helped infrastructure organizations plan and deliver complex linear projects around the world.
Behind TILOS stands ObjectReef, a technology platform developed and owned by Human Dialog that enabled the unique time-location planning capabilities for which TILOS became known.
ObjectReef was designed to support complex enterprise-scale applications with exceptional speed and efficiency. As a solution built on ObjectReef, TILOS is able to process large projects, extensive datasets, and sophisticated time-location calculations while maintaining the performance users rely on every day.
ObjectReef allows the engineering team to focus on complex planning logic while the platform manages the technological foundation beneath it.
Graphic Cell technology
ObjectReef provides the unique Graphic Cell technology that powers TILOS visual planning.
Combining the precision of vector graphics with exceptional performance and scalability, Graphic Cells allow complex project information to remain clear, responsive, and easy to navigate regardless of project size.
The Graphic Cell concept enables different kinds of project information to be combined within a flexible visual planning environment. This is what allows a TILOS view to bring together time-location diagrams, schedules, project profiles, charts, maps, progress information, and other planning content.
What the technology enables
ObjectReef provides the performance, flexibility, and technological foundation that support the TILOS planning experience and its continued evolution.
01
Process extensive project data and sophisticated time-location calculations while maintaining the performance planners rely on.
02
Keep complex project information clear, responsive, and easy to navigate through Graphic Cell technology.
03
Support rich, connected planning information that can adapt to different project structures, workflows, and visual requirements.
04
Provide the technological basis for collaboration, web access, shared planning content, and the continuing evolution of TILOS.
The foundation for continued evolution
Today, ObjectReef provides the technological foundation for new capabilities that extend how organizations work with TILOS.
It supports the development of practical capabilities—including shared planning, web access to project information, reusable planning libraries, and improvements to everyday usability.
As these capabilities develop, the same technological foundation will support the long-term evolution toward a new-generation time-location planning platform.
Beyond TILOS
ObjectReef supports a broader ecosystem of applications and future solutions developed by Human Dialog.
For developers and organizations interested in the platform itself, ObjectReef.dev explains its programming model, data handling, performance, deployment approach, and application-development capabilities.
