Faster iteration. Faster time to market.

Niobia is the AI process engineer for development, scale-up and manufacturing. Find, fix and prevent failures 50x faster.

Scale-up rarely stalls on the science. It stalls on failures.

Found late, after more batches have run through the same step.

Fixed slowly, because the answer sits in MES, LIMS, spreadsheets and one engineer’s head.

Niobia finds, fixes and remembers. Failures resolved 50x faster.

In the lab

Lab OS

The operating system for product development.

  1. 01

    Plan lean experiments

    Lay out the trial in a sandbox. Publish it, and every planned batch lands in the right operator queue.

  2. 02

    Execute on the floor

    Every machine has a queue. The SOP runs step by step on a phone, with targets and windows, and everything recorded is captured.

  3. 03

    Analyze automatically

    Models trained on your own runs show how accurate they are and what drives the result. Any notebook becomes an app.

  4. 04

    Troubleshoot to the cause

    Walk a held roll back through its genealogy to the mix that came in thin. The fix goes into an 8D report and a knowledge base, so next time the agent recognizes it.

Lab OS: a line-speed trial laid out in a sandbox project. Lab OS: publishing the trial sends nine planned batches to three operator queues. Lab OS: the queue for a slot-die coater, with the running batch, what is next and who works it. Lab OS: a coat weight model card with its typical error and what drives it. Lab OS: a notebook chart of dry coat weight by roll against its window, with one roll on hold. Lab OS: a held roll traced through its genealogy, with the reason it was held. Lab OS: a decision gate that passes one batch and puts another on hold. Operator mode on a phone: an SOP step with line speed and dryer targets.

Never solve the same failure twice.

Every past failure and fix is searchable, not just what the team remembers. Ask why a batch failed, and Niobia shows its work step by step, so your engineers check the answer instead of hunting for it.

One record, from the first experiment to full production

  1. Development
  2. Pilot
  3. Scale-up
  4. Production
Break silos
Every project and every batch, with its full history and what went wrong, visible across the organization.
Trace any failure
Every step, material lot and operator action behind a bad batch, in one click.
Learn from every fix
Troubleshoot with everything your organization has learned, not only what one engineer remembers.
Capture the floor
Operator steps and deviations are logged, so analysis works from what happened, not the recipe.
Fewer experiments
Plan them, run them on the floor and analyze them, all in one place.
Analysis on request
Describe what you want to know. An agent writes and runs the analysis and shows every step.
Across your data

Managed database

All your data and knowledge, integrated. No silos.

Connected to everything you run, without friction: equipment, plant systems, databases and documents. It gives Lab OS and its agents access to your entire system.

Batch genealogy, built in
No joining tables or hunting for the last lot.
Machine learning on any source
Anyone can connect a source and run it. No data team needed.
Permissions by team
Single sign-on and an audit log. Sharing never means losing control.
Yours
Runs in your cloud or on your floor, and is never shared with frontier models.
On the tool

Edge AI

Increase your yield in months, not years.

AI that runs on your process, test and metrology equipment, inside your firewall. It catches drift at the source, tells you what is wrong, and closes the loop when your engineer approves. Available on its own, or with Lab OS and Managed database.

The Niobia Edge computer: a rugged, fanless box that mounts on the tool.
Edge AI

Drift caught at the source.

Niobia Edge connects directly to your process, test and metrology equipment. Live SPC on every signal flags drift before it becomes a failure, even while every point is still inside the limits.

It tells you what is wrong.

Process engineering AI, fine-tuned on open-weight models, reads the line, the batch and its history, and names the likely cause. It runs inside your firewall, with no internet needed.

You approve. The loop closes.

It proposes the fix and what should happen next. Your engineer approves, the correction is written back to the tool, and the line returns to target.

Sample data

Built for any process.

Lab OS, Managed database and Edge AI, tuned to how you make things. Use one, or all three together.

Semiconductors

Deposition, etch and metrology, tool by tool and lot by lot.

Batteries

Electrode coating, cell assembly, formation and test.

Coatings and thin films

Roll-to-roll coating and vacuum deposition, held on target.

Electroplating

Bath chemistry, current and deposit quality, tank by tank.

Fuel cells

Membrane electrode coating, stack assembly and conditioning.

Solar cells
