At Reach Industries, we believe that the foundation of the scientific method – observation – is on the brink of a radical transformation, empowered by the full potential of AI and data.
Our vision is ambitious: to create a world where we move beyond traditional methods of data capture and analysis, a world where labs operate with unparalleled precision, where subtle variations in process are no longer a source of costly errors, and where AI can take science to new heights by providing deeper insights and greater consistency.
Where we are: transforming labs today
Lumi – a visual science intelligence platform – is the cornerstone of that vision. A platform designed to accelerate discovery and ensure error-proof compliance by transforming how lab data is captured, analyzed, and utilized in real time. Lumi has 2 core components:
Visual Lab: With Visual Lab, we’ve automated the process of data capture, eliminating the inaccuracies and inefficiencies of manual recording. Our AI-powered system captures every detail, providing real-time insights that enable immediate process optimization. Whether it’s identifying patterns in R&D workflows or tracking protocol adherence to ensure compliance, Visual Lab turns every piece of data into actionable intelligence.
LabOps: LabOps extends this capability by offering a command center for lab management. This platform not only centralizes lab operations but also enables continuous monitoring and real-time adjustments. By integrating video logs with critical data points, LabOps ensures that labs can operate with a level of precision and efficiency that was previously unattainable.
API Access: Lumi offers an advanced Visual Lab Operations (Lab Ops) model designed to revolutionize lab automation for AI teams in biotech and pharma. AI-driven workflows can seamlessly access real-time lab data, visual feeds, and operational insights via secure APIs. Lumi not only integrates with existing AI frameworks, ELNs, LIMS, and data pipelines but also allows AI teams to send their own data to Lumi’s models for enhanced processing and analysis.
The vision: laying the groundwork for AI-driven science
As we look to the future, our vision expands to encompass more sophisticated applications of AI and data in scientific research. The foundation we’ve built with Visual Lab and LabOps is just the beginning. We’re now focusing on collecting and leveraging spatial data to enable new levels of automation and intelligence in the lab, as seen in our recent collaboration with CatSci.
Much like how Google mapped the world to make driverless cars a reality, Lumi is pioneering the collection and analysis of spatial data within lab environments. By using multiple cameras and sensors, we aim to create a detailed, real-time map of lab activities, capturing every interaction and subtle variation in processes. This will allow us to build an end-to-end tracking system that not only monitors but also predicts outcomes, ensuring that labs can maintain consistency even as they scale operations.
The integration of spatial data is just one aspect of our broader vision. In the near future, Lumi will enable labs to seamlessly integrate monitoring data with quality control systems, providing a level of traceability and accountability that meets the highest standards of auditability. Our technology will allow labs to not only detect issues as they arise but also to anticipate and prevent them, leading to a more proactive approach to scientific research.
A future of Integrated Intelligence
Imagine a lab where AI-driven systems work alongside human researchers, not just automating routine tasks but also providing deep insights that drive innovation. This is the future we’re building – a future where AI is not an add-on but a fundamental component of the scientific method, enhancing the precision, speed, and impact of research.
With Lumi, we’re not just improving the way labs operate; we’re redefining the role of observation in science. By innovating at the foundation of the scientific method, we’re unlocking the full potential of AI for science, paving the way for breakthroughs that were once unimaginable. As we continue to develop our capabilities, we remain committed to our vision of creating a world where AI and human intelligence work together to drive the next generation of scientific discovery.
