Automated hardware testing & compliance, saving 50x the time
LLMs have made building hardware easier, proving it's safe to sell is still hard. We automate hardware certification: from drones to robots. Cutting compliance hours for teams 50x.
The Problem:
- Certification are critical, non-core work - Teams (often the Chief Engineers) spend days parsing standards
- It’s not clear what you actually need - Compliance can be opaque, often requiring expensive consultants to decipher
- Labs take long to book - Third party labs can be unresponsive without insider connections
- You can’t sell without them - Not having the right certifications is gating
What We’re Building:
- Certification roadmap to sell: Clear, market‑specific path (what to test, in what order, and why)
- Automated lab bookings & logistics: We handle scheduling, sample coordination, and paperwork end‑to‑end
- Live test tracking: Visibility into progress, blockers, and results
- Technical file generation: Auto‑assembled technical files and audit packs ready for submission
Who We Are
Engineers of both software and hardware! We’re Waterloo grads, previously working at AI labs, published in Nature for pulsed power research, and going extremely viral on the internet.
OUR ASK: Do you know of any hardware teams looking to spend less time on compliance? Please connect us!
We’ve helped teams go from 0 to fully certified in weeks. We are now serving hardware teams for FCC / CE / UL / ASTM at normalfactory.com or founders@normalfactory.com!
