CORE CAPABILITIES

Six Core Capabilities Building the Closed Loop

Refined around real-world pain points, every capability has been validated across thousands of laboratories.

🔌

Universal Instrument Gateway

RS-232/485, USB, LAN, folder monitoring, direct database connection — five capture modes with adaptive selection. No hardware replacement required; one gateway adapts to all mainstream brands.

Covers 5 Communication Protocols
🔄

Bi-Directional Communication

Push task sequences, parameter templates, and gradient programs to instruments; simultaneously retrieve raw chromatograms, integration results, and audit trail logs. Bi-directional command loop enables truly unattended experiments.

Supports Command Dispatch & Data Return
🧪

Raw Data Compliance

Encrypted raw data archiving with complete metadata recording; supports electronic signatures and full audit traceability. Natively complies with 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GMP/GLP data integrity requirements.

21 CFR Part 11 Compliant

Edge Computing Gateway

Local caching + store-and-forward mechanism ensures zero data loss during network outages. Industrial-grade 99.95% stability; supports 24/7 unattended continuous capture with automatic retry and alerting.

Zero Data Loss During Outage
🤖

AI Anomaly Detection

Real-time identification and auto-alerting of baseline drift, peak shape distortion, and retention time shifts. AI models continuously learn lab baseline characteristics, detecting anomalies 2-3 batches ahead of traditional rule engines.

AI-Driven Intelligent Alerting
📊

Unified Data Lake

Structured test data and unstructured raw files stored in a normalized model, bridging to BI dashboards and AI analytics platforms. Break down instrument silos and enable cross-brand data aggregation and analysis.

SOLUTION FLOW

Five-Step Implementation Delivery Path

Driven by standardized methodology, averaging 8 weeks from adaptation to go-live. Each layer can be independently validated for project control.

L1 · Driver Adaptation

Instrument Assessment & Communication Protocol Adaptation

On-site instrument inventory → communication protocol analysis → data field mapping → driver development & unit testing. Covering five modes: RS-232/485, USB-HID, LAN TCP/IP, folder monitoring, and direct database connection.

L2 · Task Dispatch

LIMS Work Orders to Instrument Task Queue

LIMS test work orders auto-converted into instrument-readable task sequences, supporting sequence queuing, priority scheduling, and auto power-on/wake. Fully automated workflow — no manual instrument panel operation needed.

L3 · Real-Time Capture

Operating Parameters, Raw Data & Audit Logs

Millisecond-level data capture, simultaneously collecting instrument operating parameters, raw test data, and operational audit logs. Supports continuous, scheduled, and trigger-based capture modes; local caching during network outages.

L4 · Data Parsing

Vendor Format Parsing & Standard Data Model Normalization

Adapts to proprietary vendor data formats, auto-parsing into a unified standardized data model. Structured test results populate the LIMS database; raw files are archived to the data lake, preserving both originality and usability.

L5 · LIMS Integration

WORM Storage, Hash Verification & Compliant Archiving

Tamper-proof WORM storage, SHA-256 hash verification, and long-term archiving strategy. Data automatically linked to LIMS samples, batches, and projects, forming a complete compliance evidence chain — ready for retrieval and audit at any time.
