Kitchen automation and manufacturing control systems for commercial food equipment
Lab2Fab builds control systems and automation software for commercial kitchen equipment, now operating under Middleby Corporation. The tech stack—CAN, Modbus, MQTT, embedded C, LiDAR, and CAD tooling—reflects a hardware-focused automation business, not a software-as-a-service play. Current hiring is concentrated in senior engineering (4 of 5 open roles), suggesting they're scaling precision control work to handle real-world deployment complexity.
Lab2Fab provides manufacturing automation and control-system design for commercial food service equipment. The company operates as part of Middleby Corporation, the world's largest food equipment manufacturer, and focuses on kitchen and bar automation, process control, and industrial robotics integration. Active development centers on HMI integration and control-system architecture, addressing precision and deployment challenges in live kitchen environments.
Lab2Fab builds with CAN, Modbus, MQTT, embedded C, and LiDAR-based sensing. CAD and Solidworks PDM support mechanical design workflows. The stack prioritizes real-time industrial control and hardware integration.
