Every sample. Every event. Every result. Connected.
The semantic data engine that weaves complex, multi-department R&D into ML-ready knowledge. Built for the scientists of today, and the autonomous labs of tomorrow.
R&D has evolved. Traditional data management hasn't.
Whether you are coordinating three isolated departments or orchestrating a fully autonomous lab, ELNs and LIMS fail for the exact same reason: they force dynamic physical science into rigid digital spreadsheets.
The Human Bottleneck
Chemistry lives in one system. Mechanical testing in another. Your data scientists spend 80% of their time writing Python scripts to VLOOKUP and merge data just to figure out what happened.
The Autonomy Bottleneck
Robots produce unpredicted states and massive volumes. If your database requires a software vendor to reconfigure a schema for every new robotic workflow, your automation is paralyzed.
A Self-Evolving Schema for Physical AI
We don't force you to build multi-year ontologies or rigidly pre-define your templates. datin exposes the ability to change the schema on the go. As your experiments change, whether driven by human intuition or an AI agent controlling a robot, the knowledge graph adapts.
One connected record.
Three superpowers.
Every feature solves the human problem and the robotic problem at once — because they were always the same problem.
Deterministic Cross-Silo Merging
Stop manually merging spreadsheets. datin natively understands that an additive formulation (Chemistry) and a friction test (Mechanical) belong to the same physical object. It automatically normalizes units and aligns results instantly, regardless of which department or robot generated it.
“Show me the mechanical wear-test results of all samples containing >5% Additive X.”
Git-like Lineage & "Time-Travel" Provenance
Legacy systems overwrite data. datin operates with a capture-time semantic record. Trace the exact physical and digital provenance of any sample back to its inception. If a machine calibration error is discovered months later, simply branch the data — every downstream table updates automatically.
“This batch failed. Trace its exact history from mixture to Machine B.”
Flexible Data Input and Programmatic Analysis
With the integrated coding environment and our SDK, imports and analyses can be done programmatically and accounted for as events, just like physical experiments.
“Analyze this data with the script developed by Rudy in 2018.”
True FAIR data export — RDF in one click. Every record is mapped to open standards, so your knowledge graph leaves datin as portable, machine-readable RDF whenever you need it. No data lock-in, no export project.
Don't have a Self-Driving Lab yet? That's exactly why you start here.
Autonomy is impossible without unified, machine-readable data. While you build out your robotic capacity, datin acts as the connective tissue for your human scientists today. By unifying your departments now, you are building the exact data foundation required for the AI agents of tomorrow.
Trusted by multi-department research institutions with robotic setups from Europe and the US.
See it on your own data.
Give us your messiest, cross-department data or your most complex robotic output. We will run a scoped pilot using your samples, your instruments, and your vocabulary. Running in weeks, not quarters.
