The Allentown Monitoring Platform is an AI-powered automated cage inspection solution designed to improve operational efficiency, animal welfare, and facility management within laboratory research environments.The platform combines gantry-mounted cameras, computer vision models, edge computing, and cloud analytics to continuously monitor cage conditions, automate inspections, and generate intelligent technician workflows in real time.
The Challenge
The client needed to eliminate labor-intensive manual cage inspections across large research facilities while improving monitoring accuracy and operational visibility.The platform also required reliable AI-based detection of water levels, food availability, and bedding conditions, alongside real-time monitoring, low-latency performance, and scalable edge-cloud infrastructure capable of supporting thousands of cages.
The Solution
We developed a complete AI-driven monitoring ecosystem integrating automated gantry-based image acquisition, edge inspection software, cloud analytics, and real-time operational dashboards.
The solution included:
- AI-powered monitoring for food, water, and bedding conditions
- Automated gantry-based cage scanning
- Intelligent technician pick-list generation
- Traffic-light status dashboards
- Closed-loop verification workflows
- Live video streaming and remote camera controls
- Technician accountability and audit reporting
- Continuous AI learning and feedback mechanisms
The Result
- Automated routine cage inspections across facilities
- Near real-time visibility into cage conditions
- Reduced unnecessary cage handling and manual inspections
- Improved technician productivity and task prioritization
- Enhanced operational efficiency and animal welfare standards
- Scalable AI-driven infrastructure for future expansion
