Elemental Machines

Elemental Machines is a Cambridge, Massachusetts LabOps connectivity company that instruments laboratories and manufacturing floors with IoT sensors and a vendor-agnostic cloud platform for environmental monitoring, cold-storage and freezer health, equipment utilization, alerting, calibration and compliance reporting across life sciences R&D, biomanufacturing, academia and government facilities. The platform ingests sensor and third-party equipment data at 15-second resolution and exposes it through a public REST API at api.elementalmachines.io covering machines, machine samples and sample statistics, utilization (aggregated, hourly and status), alert logs, alert rules, users, user activities, customer groups, release notes and a server status check, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 access tokens. The same data is pushed into ELN/LIMS/SDMS, QMS, MES, BMS and CMMS systems and data warehouses through the company's data-integration services. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, operates calibration to ISO 17025, and positions the platform as a 21 CFR Part 11 / ALCOA+ compliant recording system for GxP-regulated laboratories.

Elemental Machines publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include lab-operations, laboratory-monitoring, iot, sensors, and life-sciences.

Elemental Machines’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, signup flow, changelog, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/elemental-machines: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?

    time-series samples and computed sample statistics, aggregated/hourly/status utilization rollups for a customer group,
    alert logs and alert rules, users, user activities and customer groups, plus dated platform release notes and an unauthenticated
    server status check. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials against /oauth/token; the resulting
    token is passed as an access_token query parameter on every call. The provider publishes a Swagger 1.2 contract and a
    Swagger UI console at api.elementalmachines.io.
