Independent automation engineering · Lyon, France
Automat Labs programs the lab-automation systems, builds the software and data layer that keeps every run reliable and observable, and brings the result into a validated GMP state. One engineer accountable across all of it — not a hand-off between vendors.
01Capabilities
Most providers own a single layer. Automat Labs works across all of them — anchored in Hamilton VENUS, and reaching deeper into software and validation than most single-discipline vendors do.
Hamilton VENUS method development and liquid-handling automation — reliable, reproducible, higher-throughput methods that replace manual bench steps.
Production software that turns instruments and manual workflows into observable, maintainable systems — from device control to dashboards and digital workflows.
Process validation and qualification executed to the rigour that regulated manufacturing demands — from packaging lines to injectable fill/finish.
A biomedical and electrical engineering base that spans the whole system — instrument to interface — with project delivery to match.
02Why AutomatX
AutomatX carries a project across every discipline — so nothing falls into the gaps between them.
03Technical stack
04Track record
Yolan Weiler’s engineering track record across pharmaceutical manufacturing, process validation, and lab automation — the foundation the practice is built on.
Process validation of a new injectable vaccine manufacturing line — scoped and delivered right-first-time over ~1.5 years.
Full engineering lifecycle across three regulated pharma settings — packaging qualification, injectable fill/finish, and R&D lab automation.
Lab-automation products taken from scientists’ requirements through development to production deployment.
MSc Biomedical (magna cum laude) & BSc Electrical Engineering, with medical-robotics research.
Map the whole system — instruments, software, data, and the validation it has to pass — before a line of code or a single part is committed.
Build and connect the layers as one system: hardware that fits the software, software that respects the instrument, automation designed to be validated.
Qualify to standard, then hand over deliverables that are maintainable, well-documented, and reproducible — and stay that way after the project ends.
06About
Automat Labs is the practice of Yolan Weiler, a biomedical and electrical engineer trained at KU Leuven (magna cum laude) and PRINCE2-certified in project and change management. The work spans GMP packaging and fill/finish qualification, process validation of a new vaccine line, and R&D lab automation — programming Hamilton VENUS robots and building the C#, Python and JavaScript software around them.
I started Automat Labs because the hardest problems in automation live in the seams between disciplines — the instrument, the software, the data, and the validation — and almost no one is accountable for all of them at once. That accountability is the point.
Tell me what you’re building, what it has to pass, and where it currently breaks. You’ll get an engineer’s read on scope and the seams — not a sales pitch.
