The Future of Life Sciences

Artificial’s mission is to accelerate the pace of life science discoveries by making automation accessible.

To accelerate the development of gene therapies and life-saving drugs, or rapid pandemic response, life science companies can no longer afford to have automation solutions that are siloed and difficult to use.

Instead, they need an automation platform that is fully connected across their entire lab — from its software and data to its people and hardware — and intuitive for anyone to use.

To address this need, we bring together the fundamentals of automation, life sciences, and UX onto a single, easy-to-use platform — the Artificial Product Suite.

Now, scientists can focus on their next breakthrough, not wrangling their automation.

WattIQ was founded as Ibis Networks in 2013 to solve the problem of wasted energy from electrical devices that consume power even when not in use. This problem costs businesses billions of dollars in excess costs per year. Our first commercial product was launched in 2014, with early deployments focused on proving the scalability and reliability of our networked smart plugs across higher education, K-12 schools and projects driven through utilities.

Over the past year, we have expanded our solution offering to address asset utilization and condition monitoring, enabling businesses to use energy consumption data to optimize asset sharing, reduce unnecessary equipment purchases, identify bottlenecks in their processes, and reduce their carbon footprint through reduced purchasing and electricity consumption. We are excited to work with you to re-imagine your asset sharing, procurement and maintenance programs by unlocking your asset utilization and condition data.
