HAT PIN LABS

A smart lab that ships on a flatbed.

We'll help you plan your container lab with our interactive 3D tool, then handle all the purchasing and assembly of the equipment. We install and calibrate it, and ship your lab to you ready to go.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick your dimensions

    Tell us which of our containers you can support — dock access, crane weight, site footprint. We'll recommend the best one based on your needs.

  2. 2

    Pick your power budget

    We support a wide variety of industrial power inputs, and also off-grid power sourcing — shore service, solar, battery and generator.

  3. 3

    Design your shop

    Tell us all the fab, lab and machining equipment you want, plus any accessories — cabinets, shelves, tables. See it before it ships in our interactive Container Configurator.

  4. 4

    We build it

    We order everything from our vetted distributors, then install, assemble and calibrate your equipment — building out your container.

  5. 5

    We ship it

    We ship your container to you and help with the install at your location.

The shells

Three standard ISO shells. Every fit-out starts from one of them, so the finished unit still ships, stacks and craned like any other box on the yard.

A 10 ft standard shipping container of the type the HPL-10 is built from.

Build your lab

HatPinOS

We augment every container with a smart perception system, so the unit knows what is inside it and what is happening in it. That makes your workflows AI-powered and the lab itself easier to manage, operate and hand over.

What it does

  • Perception

    Cameras and sensors, watching the whole bay.

  • Inventory

    Every asset and consumable, tracked in place.

  • Workflows

    Your procedures, run and checked by the unit.

  • Oversight

    Access, safety and audit trail in one log.

Servicing, handled from the same place.

Even after your lab is installed, HatPinOS manages the equipment in it — service intervals, calibration dates and consumables, per asset. Coordinate maintenance and servicing through us and it gets scheduled around your work, not in the middle of it.

Re-spec the lab as the work changes.

Requirements moved mid-project? Launching a line that needs different equipment? Our container labs are modular and straightforward to reconfigure — and we will recycle or resell the kit you are replacing at fair market value.

Talk to us about your build.

Tell us what you need to run and where it's going — we'll help you spec the shell.
