Balthazar

Product

Acquire. Organize. Analyze.

Balthazar links prototypes, protocols, results and metadata in one structured, searchable system — and runs the Python your team writes. 
One platform from Design to Fab to Testing.

03Core concepts

Four elements. Everything in your lab is made of them.

A Flow,run by the Runner,on a Device,becomes a Run.

  1. 01FLW

    Flows

    the recipe

    Custom Python workflows define each R&D step, from design and fabrication, to measurement and analysis. Versioned, reproducible and reviewable.

  2. 02RNR

    Runner

    the hands

    Runs your Python locally next to your instruments, controlled remotely from the browser — with any libraries you already use.

  3. 03DEV

    Devices

    the subject

    The samples and physical objects you build and test; each linked to its design, recipes and results.

  4. 04RUN

    Runs

    the evidence

    Every execution of a Flow. Inputs, code version, logs, plots and outputs are captured automatically.

04Bring your code

Paste existing Python
into a Flow.

Parameterise the inputs, declare the outputs you want to keep. Plots and logs are captured automatically. The code runs on the Runner machine with any libraries installed there.

# main.py — a Flow
a = 2
b = 3
c = a + b
print(c)  # captured in the Run output

05Capabilities

Interlinked R&D knowledge base

Prototypes and models are linked to experiments, parameters and key performance metrics automatically, so you can reproduce successes and avoid past mistakes.

Version-controlled recipes and protocols

Shared workspaces let you standardise processes and share them with the entire team in real time.

Dashboards and performance metrics

Follow real-time performance metrics and compare runs across devices to get better insights from fewer prototypes.

Role-based access, cloud or on-prem

Secure collaboration across teams and sites, with flexible deployment that keeps you in control of your data.

FAQ

Questions labs ask first.

  1. The digital backbone of your lab.

    An AI-powered R&D intelligence platform that connects your experiments, instruments, Python scripts, designs, fabrication data and measurements in one structured environment, so you spend less time organising data and more time doing research.

Make every prototype count.
