Sempervirens Automation, LLC is a lab automation software consultancy founded in January 2023 by Ransom Mowris, a robotics software engineer who has worked in lab automation since 2014.

The company designs and builds the scheduling, integration, LIMS and AI agent software that lets an automated lab run as one system, working directly with the scientists and automation engineers who will use it.

The company is deliberately small. That keeps every engagement close to the person doing the work, and it is why most new projects arrive by referral.

Have a lab in mind?

Tell me what you're trying to automate. Most of my work comes through referrals, so if a colleague sent you, mention them.
