Metaphore is operating at the forefront of modern drug discovery, where workflows span multiple scientific domains and must evolve rapidly alongside research priorities. Supporting this level of complexity requires more than traditional automation—it demands infrastructure that can adapt in real time.

To meet this need, Metaphore partnered with Automata to implement a flexible, software-defined automation platform designed to support continuous workflow development and scale. By integrating a broad range of instruments and enabling direct access to workflow logic, the platform gives internal teams the control to build, modify, and deploy workflows independently.

This shift redefines automation from a fixed system into a dynamic capability—enabling faster iteration, reducing reliance on external vendors, and creating a foundation for long-term scalability.

In this case study, explore how forward-thinking biotech teams are building automation environments that not only support today’s workflows, but are designed to evolve with the science.
