Built on real instruments. Running real experiments.
Names and protocols we actually connect to.
Nornec integrates with hardware already on your bench. No rip-and-replace. No phantom roadmap. Every integration below is either connected in a live deployment, validated in Lab 242, or supported through a standard interface we can document.
Connect what you already own
One auditable control loop for every instrument.
Connect oscilloscopes, spectrometers, power supplies, PLCs, mass-flow systems, gas analyzers, radiation detectors and process sensors into one auditable control loop.
Evidence of a real run
It rejects dangerous actions. Then starts the next run.
A timestamped excerpt from a live TENSOR session. The system enforces hard safety envelopes, logs every decision, and only escalates to a human when the consequence exceeds policy.
Loop architecture
Measure → Understand → Decide → Act & Learn.
Four stages you can explain to a board. Under the hood, seven auditable services make it real.
Ingest & Validate
Multi-channel ingestion with provenance tagging. Stale, missing or out-of-envelope channels are rejected before compute.
Compute & Hypothesize
Physics-aware state estimation, regime classification, and testable hypotheses — checked against dimensional and conservation constraints.
Policy & Orchestrate
Role-based policies convert hypotheses into run plans. High-consequence actions queue for human approval; routine sweeps proceed.
Execute & Analyze
Run the campaign, archive every setpoint and decision, then feed residuals and insights back into the model for the next loop.
State estimation
Physics-aware state estimation.
Live telemetry is fused with instrument models, experimental history and known physical constraints to estimate system state, detect drift and identify genuine regime transitions.
- → Dimensional consistency checks
- → Conservation residual monitoring
- → Instrument drift models
- → Regime-transition falsification gate
Business outcome
More experiments. Fewer wasted campaigns. No overnight babysitting.
Run continuously
Keep campaigns alive after hours, weekends and holidays without leaving a scientist at the bench.
Stop bad runs early
Detect drift, anomalies and unsafe envelopes in seconds — not after the next morning’s data review.
Preserve every decision
Full provenance for setpoints, approvals, model versions and escalations. Audit-ready by default.
Compound experimental knowledge
Residuals and outcomes feed back into the model so the system learns from every run.
Keep scientists in control
Autonomous where safe, escalated where it matters. Human authority over high-consequence actions.
Not another dashboard
Conventional lab software vs Nornec Lab OS.
| Conventional lab software | Nornec Lab OS | |
|---|---|---|
| Data handling | Collects and visualizes | Ingests, validates, and reasons from physics |
| Next action | Scientist decides manually | System proposes, policy approves, human escalates |
| Safety | Static alarms | Hard operating envelopes with automatic rollback |
| Provenance | Files scattered across tools | Every decision logged with model version and policy |
| Deployment | Cloud-only or siloed | On-prem or private-cloud, no raw data leakage |
| Learning | Each campaign starts from zero | Residuals and insights compound across runs |
Integrations
We do not ask you to replace the lab. We make the lab you already own autonomous.
Oscilloscopes, spectrometers, VNAs, particle detectors, radiation counters, cameras and custom front-ends.
Power supplies, arbitrary waveform generators, motion stages, gas and liquid mass-flow controllers, valves and relays.
PLCs, DCS interfaces, SCADA feeds, safety interlocks, environmental monitors and building management systems.
Time-series databases, object stores, local GPU clusters, private cloud and existing notebook or analysis environments.
Safety and governance
The agent recommends. The policy decides. Physics has the final word.
On-prem / private-cloud
Raw instrument data stays inside your network. No uncontrolled external model access.
Role-based policies
Who can approve what is configured by your team, not hard-coded by us.
Hard operating envelopes
Voltage, pressure, temperature, flow and dose limits enforced below the agent layer.
Human approval
High-consequence actions queue for explicit human sign-off before execution.
Automatic rollback
Unsafe drift triggers fallback setpoints and orderly shutdown sequences.
Model versioning
Every deployed model, policy and threshold is versioned and reproducible.
Decision provenance
Each action carries a traceable hash linking model, policy, input state and operator.
No uncontrolled external model access
Models run on your infrastructure. External APIs are opt-in, scoped and logged.

Energy systems
Still grounded in process physics.
Lab autonomy sits on top of the same first-principles discipline that powers our energy and process work. We don't sell generic software. We deploy autonomy into real laboratories.
Nornec vs Aidevo
Who builds what.
Nornec owns the scientific judgment, experimental architecture and deployment. Aidevo provides the agent infrastructure, admissibility kernels and engineering engines underneath.
Nornec decides what the lab should do and validates that it is physically sound. Aidevo supplies the runtime, models and platform components that make autonomy repeatable and scalable.
