Solutions
Intelligent Software for Scientific Instruments
We build the software layer between AI and laboratory hardware - from MCP servers for instrument control to digital twins for liquid handling robots.
Agentic AI for Instruments
MCP servers that let AI agents control lab instruments through natural language - with humans always in the loop. Built on deep instrument control experience.
Systems Engineering
Full-stack instrument control software for life sciences. Real-time data pipelines, embedded systems, and regulatory-grade code. Built by competitive programming Olympiad medalists.
LiquidBridge Digital Twin
Digital twin platform for liquid handling robots. Simulate protocols before execution, optimize with AI, and reduce waste. Virtual lab environment for every bench scientist.
Why QPillars
Built Different
We are not a generic software agency. We are instrument engineers who happen to be very good at AI.
We Ship Instrument Code
Not a consultancy deck. We write C++ and Rust that runs on diagnostic platforms and scientific instruments. Large-scale codebases, real-time constraints, zero-defect culture.
Competitive Programming DNA
Our engineering team includes International Olympiad medalists. We solve hard algorithmic problems - the kind that matter when you need real-time pipetting coordination across 96 channels.
Swiss Precision, Startup Speed
Based in Zurich. We combine the reliability expectations of Swiss medtech with the velocity of a founder-led team. No layers of management - you talk to the engineers who write the code.
AI-Native Architecture
We don't bolt AI onto legacy systems. We build MCP-first architectures where AI agents are first-class citizens - with proper guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, and audit trails.
