Edison 4.0: Structured experimentation, powered by AI.

Edison 4.0 is a software for R&D teams in chemistry and materials science. Define your workflow, set your objectives, and let AI guide your experiments — or run them your way. No coding. No data prerequisites. No magic.

Two Tools in One

1. A project structuring tool
Define your experimental workflow visually. Track parameters, capture results, and connect your work to the broader R&D pipeline. Valuable for every project, regardless of complexity.

2. An adaptive experiment planner
An AI agent that suggests which experiments to run next, based on everything the system has learned. Powerful when you need it: large parameter spaces, competing objectives, or situations where trial-and-error isn’t converging.
OPEL is how you structure AI-driven R&D. Edison is the software tool where you do it.

How It Works

 

Step 1: Define your experimental workflow

Map your process from synthesis to characterization. Edison automatically derives your controllable factors and measurable responses.

Step 2: Set your design space

Define variables, types, ranges, and units for each factor. This is the territory Edison will navigate intelligently rather than exhaustively.

Step 3: Set objectives and scoring

Tell Edison what “good” looks like. Define targets, acceptable ranges, and failure zones. Set how competing objectives should be weighted.

Step 4: Run, learn, iterate

Edison suggests your first batch. You run the experiments in your lab, upload results, and Edison proposes smarter next steps. Each cycle gets closer. What used to take 100 experiments often takes 20–30.

What Edison Can and Cannot Do

✓ Edison can ✗ Edison cannot
Suggest which experiments to run next Predict outcomes for completely unstudied systems
Explore large parameter spaces with fewer experiments Replace your scientific expertise or judgment
Learn and improve with every cycle Deliver one-shot accuracy — first rounds are exploratory
Structure workflows so learning is captured Work without clear, measurable objectives
Start without any historical data Make decisions for you — you stay in the loop

Edison 4.0 does not do magic. It does structured, adaptive experimentation — and that turns out to be much more valuable than magic.

Getting Started

No coding. No data prerequisites. No special infrastructure. Setup takes less than an hour.
