Lab Automation That grows with you
Lab environments are never static. Requirements shift, instruments change, and discoveries open entirely new doors. We build LabVIEW-based automation systems that are designed to adapt — not fight you when the science evolves.
Lab Automation built for a snapshot in time ages out fast
Research moves fast. A system locked to last year's process becomes a liability the moment the science opens a new door. We build with change in mind from day one.
The Challenge
- Rigid instrument coupling — swapping hardware means rewriting software
- No abstraction layer — protocol changes cascade through the entire codebase
- Hardcoded sequences — adding a new test step requires deep architectural surgery
- Data siloed in proprietary formats — post-processing pipelines break with every upgrade
- No diagnostic infrastructure — when something breaks, no one can trace why
- Tribal knowledge — only the original developer understands the system
The CMC Approach
- Instrument abstraction layer — swap hardware without touching sequence code
- Configuration-driven protocols — change parameters in data, not in source
- Plugin-style sequence architecture — add new steps or assays without rebuilding
- Open, documented data output — feeds your existing analysis pipelines cleanly
- Built-in diagnostics and logging — your team can debug independently
- Documented to common standards — any qualified engineer can pick it up
Full-spectrum lab automation built to scale and adapt
From proof-of-concept bench scripts to multi-station production platforms, engineered for technical rigor and long-term adaptability.
Turnkey Test Systems
End-to-end design and delivery — hardware integration, fixture coordination, software architecture, and operator UI. We own the outcome, not just the code.
Instrument Control & Automation
Driver development for virtually any instrument built on abstraction layers so hardware swaps don't break your sequences. We work with almost any communication protocol.
Data Acquisition & Logging
High-speed synchronized acquisition across multiple channels, or lower speeds as needed. Output in formats your analysis tools already understand. Professional data visualization.
Configurable Test Sequences
Steps and parameters live in configuration, not buried in code. Add new custom test steps without touching core architecture.
Operator and Researcher Interfaces
Custom UIs designed for actual lab workflows. Live visualization, guided step-by-step instructions, controlled access.
Legacy system modernization
Aging or obsolete hardware, forced into a new version of Windows, unsupported dependency software. We migrate systems effectively.
An engagement built on trust
Lab projects don't arrive fully defined. Requirements surface mid-experiment, instruments get substituted, and the science itself redirects the work. Our process is designed to absorb that reality.
Choose Movement
Our Choose Movement philosophy shapes everything we build. We design great systems and software, but it is the way we work that truly sets us apart. We aim to be straightforward, flexible, and understanding in our approach. We do not shy away from tough conversations and come prepared with solutions. We are honest in our communication and hope to receive the same from you.
Where automation accelerates discovery
We've built for labs that are experiencing constant evolution and those with fixed processes that need optimization. We have co-authored patents and invented unique algorithms to drive exploration further.
Outsourcing that actually works
Lab teams have often been burned before — systems delivered to spec that couldn't survive the first adjustment. We hear this constantly. Then we prove it doesn't have to be that way.
Let's talk about your lab process
Whether you have a full spec or just a rough idea of what you need to automate and measure, we'll help you figure out the right path forward. A qualified conversation with engineers who've built systems like yours before.
