The Digital Lab is Analog's Center of Excellence — built in partnership with the Manufacturing Solutions Center. It's where applied research becomes deployable technology, and where organizations bring their toughest operational challenges to test against real, working AI.
The Digital Lab is where Analog's technology is built and validated before it ships — and where the line between research and production disappears. It's not a think tank producing whitepapers. It's a working environment where applied research is pressure-tested against real operations, then scaled directly into the platform and tools our partners depend on.
New capabilities are prototyped and engineered here — from process mining models to decision automation — using real operational data, not theoretical scenarios.
Every capability is validated against actual operations before it deploys. If it doesn't hold up in the real world, it doesn't ship.
Proven technology flows directly into Optic and our client engagements — so research becomes operational advantage, fast.
The Digital Lab is built for collaboration without compromise. Organizations can bring their own data to test, validate, and build against — on secure, local infrastructure that never exposes proprietary information to the open web. Your operational knowledge stays institutional, protected, and yours. It's how we let partners explore what's possible with their real data, without ever putting that data at risk.
Confirm on-prem / secure-local capability is accurate to state publicly & depth of detailThe Digital Lab exists in partnership with the Manufacturing Solutions Center — a collaboration that grounds our research in real industrial operations. It's more than a research relationship: together, we're expanding the center's ability to deliver new professional services and grow its industry offerings. The result is a Center of Excellence where applied AI meets real manufacturing, and where the outcomes prove themselves on the floor.
Add MSC history, scope, or what's next if shareable publiclyThe Digital Lab isn't closed infrastructure — it's an open invitation. Whether you're exploring what's possible with your operational data, validating a use case before committing, or building toward something new, the Lab is where it starts. Bring your hardest problem. We'll show you what applied AI can do with it.
