Carbon

    Operating System for
    Autonomous Labs

    ↓

    Between the instruments on the bench, the scripts that drive them, and the data they produce, running an experiment has become running an infrastructure. Carbon brings instrument control, automation, and analysis into one platform, extensible to your lab's, and your instruments', particular needs.

    One daemon. Every protocol on the bench.

    A single edge daemon discovers your instruments and speaks each one's native protocol, SCPI over VISA across GPIB, USB-TMC, TCP/IP, and serial, plus Modbus TCP/RTU, NI-DAQmx, and HTTP. Tight loops execute locally; telemetry streams to the cloud over an encrypted WebSocket.

    Six systems. One surface.

    We don't ship you software. We come to automate your lab.

    Every Carbon engagement starts with our engineers on your floor. We learn your instruments and your protocols, automate them inside your boundary, and leave you operating a stack you own.

    01

    Forward-deployed engineers

    We embed engineers in your lab. They map your instruments, encode your protocols, and stand up the stack, then hand you the keys.

    02

    Runs inside your boundary

    Data never leaves your building: deploy on-premise with segmented networks and limited egress. The control plane lives where your hardware and data already do.

    03

    Deterministic by default

    Protocols run the same way every time. AI never embeds itself by default, you decide where it operates and where it stays out.

    04

    Your stack stays system-of-record

    Carbon orchestrates around your existing QC and vendor software instead of replacing it. Integrate, don't rip-and-replace.

    05

    Auditable & access-controlled

    Roles, resource permissions, and a recorded trail across every action, built for review, not retrofitted for it.

    See Carbon on your bench in a live walkthrough with our team. We'll map your instruments, workflows, and compliance needs — and show you what the platform looks like in your context.
