👋 Welcome to Chipper

Chipper is a modern monitoring and alerting platform designed specifically for labs and hardware-centric environments. It helps your team detect issues early, reduce instrument downtime, and drive operational efficiency — all by turning raw instrument logs into actionable insights.

🧠 What Is Chipper?​

Chipper connects to your lab hardware (e.g., Hamilton robots, Tecan instruments) by ingesting system log files. It uses pattern recognition and event tracking to monitor key operations, and alerts your team when something abnormal happens.

Whether it's method execution taking too long, repeated barcode failures, or sample handling delays — Chipper helps surface issues before they become problems.

🚀 What Can You Use It For?​

  • Track method performance
    Understand how long each method takes to run — and flag outliers instantly.

  • Detect and respond to errors
    Create rules to watch for specific error events like crashes, timeouts, or hardware faults.

  • Prevent silent failures
    Be alerted when expected events don’t happen (e.g. sample idle for 30+ minutes).

  • Improve operational visibility
    Use dashboards to explore trends across instruments, methods, and time.

  • Integrate seamlessly with your stack
    Send alerts to Slack, email, or integrate directly into your lab systems.

🧪 Who Is Chipper For?​

  • Lab operations teams who need to monitor process performance and uptime
  • Automation engineers who want to catch errors early and fine-tune protocols
  • Biotech R&D teams looking for scalable, transparent instrumentation insights

📈 How It Helps​

Chipper gives you:

  • Faster incident detection and resolution
  • Less time manually reviewing logs
  • Better traceability and accountability
  • Higher lab throughput with fewer surprises
