The AI-native API for physical R&D

The operating layer for complex test infrastructure.

Daqstra connects your hardware, unifies your test data, and orchestrates every run — so teams in aerospace, energy, and robotics save hundreds of engineering hours between tests.

Why Daqstra

All great engineering is built on cycles of failure and discovery.

But test infrastructure is fundamentally broken. Hardware and software are fragmented and manually pieced together between every test — and engineers spend more time dealing with that than breaking new ground.

We fired rocket engines, and found out firsthand.

LOX/IPA static fire · SEDS UCSD × Dispatch (YC)
Fragmented by vendor

DAQ, PLCs, and control software that were never designed to work as one system.

Rebuilt between every test

Channels, calibrations, and configs stitched together by hand, again and again.

Data without answers

Terabytes of test data scattered across drives — and no time to learn from it before the next run.

Industries

Built for the hardest test environments

Different hardware, same broken loop between tests. Select an industry.

The platform

One system from signal to next test

Daqstra observes, reasons, and acts — with engineers in control.

01DAQSTRA EDGE

The interface to physical systems

Every signal live — into the system and out.

Edge connects to NI, PLCs, and custom hardware at the test stand. No vendor lock, no glue code: each channel streams into Daqstra live, and commands flow back out the same way.

02DAQSTRA HUB

Where discovery happens

All your messy test data, one place in the cloud.

Hub ingests every run — however messy — and uses AI to organize it and surface the insights engineers need before the next test. Search, compare, and trace root cause across campaigns instead of digging through drives.

03DAQSTRA API

Orchestration that closes the loop

Back to experimentation, quicker and safer.

The API lets engineers reliably orchestrate all their hardware — sequences, redlines, aborts — as code. Teams get to the next test sooner, with the whole loop under version control.

Python & REST · sequences · redlines · abort logic

# next test, one call
run = daqstra.sequence("coldflow-018")
run.arm(valves=["MV-2", "MV-4"], daq=edge.all())
run.redline("PT-3 > 850 psi").execute()

We met through our love for space exploration — and we believe you should never stop reaching for the stars when things get hard.
