Chemspeed and SciY Announce Self‑Driving Laboratory Platform Integrating Automation, Analytics and AI Orchestration

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At SLAS2026, Chemspeed Technologies, a leader in the automation and digitalization of R&D and QC laboratories, and SciY, a leader in scientific and laboratory management software focused on lab standardization and AI-readiness, today introduce their open Self‑Driving Lab (SDL) platform. Their Self-Driving Lab platform is designed to accelerate research and development (R&D), quality control (QC) and chemical and biomolecular manufacturing workflows. The SDL enables lab managers to operationalize autonomous, AI‑orchestrated experimentation through vendor‑agnostic integration that unites modular precision automation, scientific analysis and lab management software, complete lab digitization and an AI‑ready open data backbone.

Today, many labs face significant challenges from siloed tools and integration gaps in heterogeneous lab environments that limit efficiency and scalability. The diversity of hardware and software systems often results in incomplete connectivity, incompatible data formats, and fragmented workflows. These constraints slow discovery, development and manufacturing QC processes, and hinder the transition towards autonomous AI‑enabled operations.

The Chemspeed/SciY open SDL platform provides this digital lab foundation and integrates the laboratory environment. Outstanding analytics, for NMR, IR/Raman, MS and X‑ray, ensures the traceable, quantitative data required in critical decisions. Chemspeed’s precision automation delivers modular, vendor‑agnostic control over complex laboratory workflows with deterministic, reproducible execution. SciY’s AI‑ready open data backbone unifies instruments and robotics data, workflow automation and orchestration with vendor‑agnostic FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data capture, curation, governance and ontology‑driven semantics.

“Vendor‑agnostic orchestration is key. With our open SDL, we enable decision‑making in closed‑loop design–make–test–analyze (DMTA) workflows towards continuous 24/7 operations,” said Bernd Gleixner, the President of Chemspeed. “We are delivering not only a platform, but a service engine that accelerates discovery, supports compliant scale‑up and increases throughput across customers’ value chains.”

“We are seeing strong market interest by leading pharmaceutical partners,” said Santi Dominguez, the President of SciY. “This confirms that customers are looking for open, readily deployable full stack SDLs, and we are partnering with them to scale autonomous operations across sites and use cases.”

Chemspeed and SciY are vendor-agnostics divisions of Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR).
