Laboratory Automation & Hardware Systems

Overview

We bridge the gap between physical laboratory instruments, diagnostic equipment, sensors, and modern cloud platforms. We build fault-tolerant control planes that enable remote orchestration of complex hardware and wet-lab analytical runs.

Core Technical Capabilities

1. Instrument Integration & Protocol Daemons

Low-level serial (RS-232, USB, UART), network, and proprietary binary protocol daemons connecting analytical hardware directly to web platforms without packet loss.

2. Durable Distributed Orchestration

Resilient, long-running workflow architectures using Temporal.io and FastAPI, featuring automatic retries, deterministic state tracking, and failure recovery across multi-hour assay executions.

3. Real-Time Telemetry & Messaging

Low-latency bidirectional communication via WebSockets and Redis, synchronizing device execution lifecycle and telemetry in real time across distributed hardware nodes.

4. Live Video Streaming & Remote Diagnostics

Low-latency video pipelines utilizing MediaMTX, FFmpeg, and WebSockets to enable live visual monitoring, remote commissioning, and troubleshooting of robotic laboratory equipment.

5. Scientific & Computational Workflows

Orchestrating batch computational jobs (variant calling, sequence analysis) alongside healthcare data standards (FHIR) and wet-lab instrumentation.

Technical Tooling & Stack

• Orchestration & Backend: Temporal.io, FastAPI, Celery, Redis, Docker, Linux
