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.
Operating System for Autonomous Labs
Why Carbon
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.
The daemon
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.
Everything your team touches, drivers to dashboards, shares one data model and one set of permissions.
01Hardware ControlConnect and control every instrument. Daemons at the edge speak the protocols your hardware already speaks, SCPI over VISA (GPIB, USB-TMC, TCP/IP, serial), Modbus TCP/RTU, NI-DAQmx, and HTTP, with versioned profiles and tight local loops when latency matters.02AI AgentIntelligent instrument control and monitoring. Natural-language runbooks connected to your hardware through MCP, scoped to the page and permissions you're working in.03Data AnalysisA Python-first environment for measurement analysis, wired to the same traces and datasets your instruments produce. Explore in code, run on managed compute, and publish figures that stay tied to the run behind them.04DashboardsLive monitoring and control panels. Full waveform buffers after each trigger stream from the bench, so every capture looks like the trace on your scope.05Data LayerVersioned, governed research data. From instrument readouts to analysis-ready datasets in one pipeline, query, version, and share without copy/paste labs.06Team & AccessPermissions, projects, and lab governance. Roles and resource permissions keep sensitive rigs and datasets where they belong, with an audit trail throughout.
How we deploy
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.
Runs inside your boundary
Deploy on-premise with segmented networks and limited egress. The control plane lives where your hardware and data already do.
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.
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.
Auditable & access-controlled
Roles, resource permissions, and a recorded trail across every action, built for review, not retrofitted for it.
