Hardware labs weren't built for scale
As teams grow, shared hardware infrastructure becomes a bottleneck.
Scheduling Contention
Engineers wait hours for shared hardware. Manual sign-up sheets and Slack messages don't scale.
See solutionObservability Gap
No centralized view of which devices are online, busy, or failing. Test results live in scattered logs.
See solutionGovernance Gap
No access controls, audit trails, or compliance reporting across shared test infrastructure.
See solutionDeployment Gap
Bootstrapping new labs and onboarding hardware into CI pipelines is a manual, error-prone process.

Stout layers enterprise capabilities on top of the open-source Lager runtime.
Enterprise Governance
RBAC, SSO integration, comprehensive audit logs, and compliance exports. Give every team the right level of access to shared infrastructure.
Hardware Scheduling
Reservation systems, priority queues, resource locking, and device allocation policies. Eliminate contention and maximize utilization.
Observability & Intelligence
Power regression detection, log clustering, test flake analysis, DUT health tracking, and AI-assisted debugging across your fleet.
Deployment Automation
Infrastructure-as-code templates, secure networking, and standardized lab bootstrapping. Go from bare metal to running CI in minutes.
Built for your entire hardware team
Whether you're hands-on with instruments or managing lab strategy, Stout gives you the tools to work faster.
Test Engineers
Stop waiting for hardware. Reserve devices, queue jobs, and get real-time fleet visibility so you can focus on writing tests, not fighting for access.
Engineering Managers
Full audit trails, compliance exports, and utilization metrics across every lab. Know who used what, when, and why — without chasing spreadsheets.
DevOps / Infrastructure
Infrastructure-as-code templates and standardized lab bootstrapping. Go from bare metal to CI-connected hardware in minutes, not days.
