From data to the next experiment.
Automating the R&D cycle

We support the entire measure → analyze → design → execute cycle in materials and chemical process development. Our three core technologies — automated data analysis, experiment planning and optimization, and robotic control — can be deployed separately or combined in a single integrated system.

01Measurement Automation

Assess conditions,
with automated data analysis.

Measurement data is analyzed and visualized automatically, with no manual steps. It removes analyst-to-analyst variability and quantifies every result with uncertainty.

02Materials Informatics

Choose the best next experiment,
with experiment planning & optimization.

Predictive models built from your accumulated data let AI propose the next conditions to try. Multi-objective optimization is supported, reaching your targets within a limited number of experiments.

Experiment-condition optimization dashboard Pareto-front exploration with multi-objective Bayesian optimization Predictions with uncertainty and next-condition proposals
03Process Informatics

Run experiments around the clock,
with robotic control.

Robots carry out experiments and processes under the selected conditions. The results feed directly back into the system, closing the analysis–planning–execution loop.
