Embroid
Embroid Pro · Lab automation hub

Coordinate shared labs, validation benches, and advanced device workflows.

A premium local-first automation hub with more ports, richer debug interfaces, scheduling, observability, accessory expansion, and team-ready automation for serious benches and validation labs.

Embroid Pro hardware — black lab automation hub with blue corner bumpers, e-ink status display, Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB ports, and accessory connections.
What it is

Built for shared labs, not one-off desks.

Embroid Pro is designed to sit in a lab rack, validation bench, or senior engineer's setup as permanent infrastructure. It coordinates multiple attached targets, local jobs, debug channels, power controls, accessories, and evidence records without depending on a laptop.

  • Premium, rack-ready hardware with visible status for operators and lab leads.
  • Local scheduler, queue, and resource locks — multiple engineers can share devices predictably.
  • Local history, evidence capture, and export remain the source of truth; cloud is an optional coordination layer.

Optional cloud coordination
01

Build a shared hardware lab

Give teams and automation systems controlled access to multiple attached targets, without queueing behind a single workstation.

02

Coordinate more devices

Use 4 downstream USB-C ports, UART / debug channels, GPIO, power control, and accessories together — on one node.

03

Run local jobs and queues

Schedule workflows, lock resources, retry failures, and keep jobs running even without cloud access.

04

Capture richer evidence

Store logs, job history, accessory metadata, debug output, and validation artifacts locally — sync selected records when useful.

05

Extend with accessories

Support thermal probes, camera, CAN / RS485, logic capture, sensor pods, host power triggers, and wireless mains relay accessories.

06

Use cloud for team coordination

Add remote ingress, fleet control, analytics, and collaboration without making cloud ownership mandatory.

Port map

More ports, more channels, permanent infrastructure.

Pro is built to stay in place. Gigabit Ethernet for reliable lab networks, accessory expansion for specialized rigs, and richer debug channels for parallel validation.

USB & power
  • 4× downstream USB-C data ports
    Drive multiple targets, probes, and adapters on one node.
  • USB passthrough mode
    Hand a target to an attached workstation when needed.
  • Switchable USB-C power output
    Per-port VBUS control from software.
  • Barrel-jack DC switching
    For targets with their own supply rails.
Debug & I/O
  • 4× UART / debug channels
    Advanced debug interfaces — JTAG / SWD support planned or available by configuration.
  • 8 GPIO / trigger lines
    Reset, boot-mode, trigger capture, custom signaling.
  • Accessory bus + expansion
    Thermal, camera, CAN / RS485, logic capture, sensor pods.
Network & status
  • Gigabit Ethernet
    Wired link for lab networks and predictable CI throughput.
  • Wi-Fi with WPA Enterprise
    Authenticated wireless for corporate lab networks.
  • Front-panel display / status indicators
    Power, network, lease, queue depth, and error state at a glance.
Pro vs Basic

Choose Pro when the bench becomes shared infrastructure.

Basic handles one bench reliably. Pro is what a lab picks up when multiple engineers, CI pipelines, and validation jobs all need the same hardware.

  1. 01Multiple engineers need access to the same devices with scheduling, queueing, and resource locking.
  2. 02Jobs need to run in parallel across multiple targets or debug channels.
  3. 03Validation requires wired Ethernet or WPA Enterprise on the lab network.
  4. 04Teams need richer local history and audit evidence across many runs.
  5. 05Workflows require accessories — thermal chambers, logic capture, camera rigs, CAN / RS485, or mains relays.
Duty cycle

Shared infrastructure that never goes idle.

Pro's scheduler keeps the lab booked across teams, agents, and pipelines. Active engagements take leases; the rest of the time the bench runs scheduled or queued work on the same hardware.

Active development & triage

Engineers, agents, and field support hold short leases on whichever targets they need.

  • Multi-user leases with role-scoped permissions
  • Agent loops over MCP with scoped capabilities
  • Field debug from anywhere in the world
Always-on validation & release

Between leases, the scheduler runs parallel jobs across attached targets and accessories.

  • Parallel CI hardware tests on every PR
  • Nightly regression suites and release smoke tests
  • Compliance and signed-evidence runs on every release tag
Enterprise

When to talk to us about Enterprise.

Pro covers shared labs and validation teams. Enterprise layers on fleet-wide controls, dedicated support, and custom rollout work.

  • Multiple labs or sites need a unified control plane with per-site governance.
  • Security review requires custom data residency, SSO / SCIM, or on-prem cloud components.
  • Rollout needs bespoke integrations, training, and white-glove onboarding.
  • You want committed uptime, priority support, and named engineering contact.
