Elevate Your Efficiency With Tailored Connectivity for Every Asset
Our commitment to seamless life sciences IoT integrations for equipment redefines how scientific research and manufacturing spaces achieve comprehensive connectivity. Elemental Machines has developed the largest library of lab equipment integration protocols in the industry, and with our extensive range of integrations — powered by both digital and analog solutions — we help you unlock a universe of insights for LabOps, QA/QC, and facilities teams.
Integration Made Easy
Elemental Machines’ connectivity platform collects data from virtually any type of equipment. Essentially anything with an output connection can be connected to our alerting/monitoring dashboard with a “plug-and-play” sensor.
The most common use case: connecting incubators to your dashboard so you have full visibility over all the key factors affecting your science. Wondering about the humidity or temperature? Just connect to the incubator directly, and within minutes, you have all the critical data in the same dashboard you use for everything else. Create alert thresholds, escalation rules, and rest assured that your science is safe, with time-stamped, audit-ready histories.
Digital and Analog Equipment Integrations: All From a Single Source
Whether your equipment already has digital communication capabilities or relies on analog output, our innovative approach ensures that every asset is fully integrated into your operational ecosystem. Here’s how our asset tracking system makes both digital and analog equipment integrations a reality:
-
Digital connectivity
Leveraging our extensive library of device drivers, we ensure even equipment without native data communication capabilities becomes a part of your interconnected ecosystem.
Our digital integration device is like a Swiss Army knife with hundreds of options. Each integration creates a “digital twin” so that you have the full picture of your critical scientific operations from your Elemental Machines’ Dashboard. We do the tedious work so you can focus on making sure everything works as it should, with 21 CFR Part 11-aligned records when you need them.
-
Analog solutions
For equipment with 4-20 mA current loop output, we capture high-quality, noise-resistant data; this approach is invaluable for integrating building infrastructure like HVAC systems or water. Although these systems might have a separate monitoring capability for catastrophic events, integrating these critical environmental conditions into your central dashboard gives you real-time access to critical context specific to your scientific operations.
-
Universal compatibility
Beyond our proprietary sensors, we seamlessly connect with thousands of third-party tools. Our data science capabilities act as a universal translator to interpret each device’s unique digital output signature so that you can have a single view of all your critical activities on the Elemental Machines’ Dashboard. We even create custom cabling solutions for specialized equipment types.
-
Rapid, hassle-free deployment
Stuff to do? Get started in under a minute with our straightforward setup; our hardware’s design focuses on minimal user intervention, making the transition to a fully integrated system as smooth as possible, with optional cellular backup for continuity.
-
Equipment library
Leverage our expansive library of hundreds of predefined equipment integrations to seamlessly incorporate all of your most critical instruments and equipment into Elemental Machines’ connectivity platform. Data from incubators, balances, gas manifolds, and more from brands like Thermo Fisher, Eppendorf, Stericycle, Kuhner, Mettler, MVE Bio, Siemens, and others make the Elemental Machines’ platform a truly comprehensive “Smart Ecosystem.”
Custom Equipment Integrations for Your Unique Needs
Your operations are unique, and so are your equipment integration needs. Our team excels in creating bespoke connectivity solutions, ensuring even the most specialized equipment is fully integrated into your data-driven ecosystem. Whether you require lab Modbus integration or lab OPC UA integrations, we have the expertise to bring your entire lab or manufacturing facility online.
