Automation & Workflow Modules

Automation request flow, NanoScience Lab execution review, and supported workflow module categories in Protoly.

Automation & Execution Review

Protoly does not stop at documentation. Selected workflows can move toward execution through automation request review and NanoScience Lab service delivery where the workflow is feasible for supported systems.

Automation Requests

  • Users submit a finalized record for automation consideration.
  • The request captures intent, constraints, and execution goals.
  • Medic Tech evaluates feasibility and prepares quotation or execution planning.
  • Approved workflows can move into managed NanoScience Lab execution.

Execution Readiness

  • Structured steps are easier to validate and translate than free text.
  • Supported module steps clarify automation intent during review.
  • Workflow versions support traceability across revisions and pulls.
  • Mixed manual plus module-supported execution remains valid.
