Use cases
See Lumi™ in Action: Built for Your Workflows
Instead of generic monitoring, Lumi™ is trained to recognize the specific events, anomalies and critical steps in rigorous scientific environments.
-
01
Process & Analytical Chemistry
Continuous Visual Monitoring
Lumi™ tracks complex, long-running chemical reactions so you don't have to. The LabVue model automatically detects and logs phase separations, crystallization events, color changes and liquid volume thresholds in real-time. If an anomaly occurs overnight, Lumi™ sends an alert and clips the exact video frame for your review.
Detects- Phase separation
- Crystallization
- Color change
- Volume thresholds
-
02
Biotech & Bench Work
Automated Protocol Verification
Eliminate the need for manual transcription and "buddy checks." Lumi™ passively observes manual bench workflows (such as pipetting sequences, sample prep or titrations) and verifies that Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are followed. Every action is automatically logged into your ELN, creating a flawless, unbiased audit trail.
Verifies- Pipetting sequences
- Sample prep
- Titrations
- SOP adherence

03
Laboratory Robotics
Error Detection & QA
Even the most advanced automated liquid handlers and robotic arms make mechanical errors. Lumi™ acts as an oversight system for your lab automation. It instantly detects dropped plates, jammed tips or misaligned samples, pausing the run or alerting your team before expensive reagents or precious samples are lost.
Catches- Dropped plates
- Jammed tips
- Misaligned samples

Vision models built for science
Most AI models, such as LLMs and VLMs, lack the accuracy, speed, and traceability that science demands.
Our system, powered by custom LabVue Vision Model, delivers real-time, reliable insights from hundreds of thousands of hours of footage capturing scientific workflows.

Built by Reach Industries, Lumi™ is part of our broader mission to augment humanity one industry at a time, starting with Science.
Our team designs frontier technologies that cut through complexity, elevate human capability, and reimagine how industries operate. Lumi™ embodies that vision in the world of science, an intelligent ally built to remove the noise, so researchers can focus on the discoveries that move the world forward.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about compliance, integration, security and getting Lumi™ running in your lab.
Lumi is built on a security-first architecture designed to support regulated environments, including GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and audit-ready workflows. Every action is logged and timestamped to support traceability during audits.
Lumi is built to complement, not replace, existing LIMS and ELN systems, capturing live experiment data that those systems typically can't reach on their own.
For teams that want deeper integration, Lumi offers SDKs, APIs and co-development opportunities to embed it directly into existing workflows.
Typically about eight weeks from scheduled installation to site acceptance for a single laboratory, with timings confirmed when installation is scheduled. Lumi mounts above the bench and watches the process, so there is no data migration, no LIMS to replace and no change to how your scientists work. That keeps it far shorter than most laboratory software, but it is still a structured rollout in three steps:
-
1
Scheduled installationWeeks 1–2
We survey the site, agree which benches and procedures are in scope, and mount and calibrate the hardware. A single-bench install is about half a day on site.
-
2
LaunchWeeks 3–4
We build the approved procedure from your existing SOPs, set deviation thresholds with your team, train your scientists at the bench (about an hour) and switch on live monitoring.
-
3
Site acceptance testWeeks 5–8
We prove the system against acceptance criteria your quality lead set at the start, and they sign it off.
Your team's commitment: a site contact, an IT contact, roughly half a day of bench access, an hour of training time and a quality lead for acceptance.
Yes, your data is fully secure. Lumi maintains strict security controls across the board:
- Strict Access Control: Access is strictly role-based (RBAC), with SSO and SAML support for enterprise accounts. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is available for privileged access.
- Continuous Testing: CREST-certified auditors conduct annual penetration tests, and automated scans check every code deployment for vulnerabilities.
- Clean Record & Clear Response: We have had zero security incidents involving customer data to date. If an issue ever arises, our protocol guarantees customer notification within 24 hours and regulatory notification (GDPR/HIPAA) within 72 hours.
- Vendor Transparency: We provide 30 days' advance notice before onboarding any new sub-processor, giving you the right to object.
Lumi™ changes how labs operate by turning manual observation into reliable, automated data:
- Catch Deviations While the Run Can Still Be Saved: Lumi watches every run around the clock and alerts your team the moment something shifts, wherever they are. You can correct or stop a run before it goes all the way through, so a deviation becomes a quick fix instead of a lost run, and nobody has to sit in the lab watching.
- Scientists Stay on the Science: Lumi automatically records timestamps, timing and visual changes such as color, texture or phase shifts, so your team can focus on the experiment instead of tracking it by hand. Details that are usually noted informally or missed entirely are captured every time.
- Richer, Traceable Records: Lumi creates a complete, time-stamped paper trail that makes records more complete and accurate.
- Bulletproof Protocol Adherence: Easily cross-check actual run data against your original protocol to verify every step was executed correctly, rather than relying on memory.
- Audit-Ready Data Integrity: Records are captured in line with ALCOA+ principles to support audit readiness (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, Complete, Consistent, Enduring and Available).
