Modern hardware is becoming software-defined and deeply intelligent. From defense and aerospace to robotics and energy, every mission now generates staggering amounts of telemetry. But more data shouldn't mean more complexity.

Today, we are thrilled to announce the Sift 2026 Winter Release. We’ve rebuilt our core engine to help you close the loop between the lab and the field, turning raw signals into mission-critical decisions.

‍

01. DEVELOP: Family Data

Hardware development isn't a straight line. To help you model expected behavior without relying solely on manual judgment, we’re introducing Family Data.

• Contextual Validation: Overlay new test runs against historical "Golden Tests" to know instantly if your performance fits the pattern of success.
• Intelligent Alignment: Automatically "snap" different runs together based on events like ignition or liftoff.
• Statistical Confidence: View 3-sigma bounds in real-time to spot subtle anomalies before they become problems.

‍02. VALIDATE: Test Results

Stop digging through messy file servers for static PDFs. Sift Test Results bridges the gap between test execution and engineering data.

• Deep Integration: Ingest data directly from NI TestStand, Python frameworks, or custom scripts.
• Searchable Measurements: Every step and measurement is indexed, allowing you to query data across part numbers or investigate "as-built" configurations in seconds.

03. OPERATE: Explore

In 2025, we saw our customers shift from analyzing history to running live operations in the field and in orbit. To support this, we’ve overhauled Explore, our core visualization engine.

• Unmatched Performance: Optimized for live streaming, Explore stays responsive even while processing tens of millions of data points per second.
• Total Observability: Whether you are in mission control or monitoring a wind farm from across the globe, Explore surfaces real-time anomalies for safety-critical systems.

04. GOVERN: Secure at Scale

Building the future requires a massive ecosystem of partners and regulators. Our new Data Access Governance tools ensure you can share that future securely.

• Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC): Manage data permissions programmatically based on attributes like "Mission" or "Export Control Scheme".
• Sensitivity Labels: Automatically enforce security standards for ITAR-restricted or confidential assets.

Ready to build the future?

These features are live today. We’ve re-architected our core infrastructure to maximize performance and minimize latency, ensuring Sift grows alongside your most ambitious missions.

If these tools look like something your team can build with, we want to hear from you.
