Industries - Research

Research laboratories demand precision observation, rigorous documentation, and strict safety compliance across environments that range from chemistry labs to animal facilities to field stations. Researchers need continuous, objective behavioral data for animal studies, equipment utilization metrics for shared facilities, and safety monitoring that operates without disrupting sensitive experiments. ConductVision was born from ConductScience, a company with over a decade of experience in scientific instrumentation and research methodology, including proven expertise in lab animal behavioral tracking and analysis. This heritage informs every aspect of the platform, from experiment documentation that meets publication standards to animal behavior tracking algorithms validated against manual scoring. Research facilities gain a vision analytics partner that understands the scientific method.

Research

The challenge

Animal behavior studies depend on hours of manual video scoring that is tedious, subjective, and rate-limiting for research throughput. Shared equipment in core facilities is often underutilized due to poor scheduling visibility. Laboratory safety incidents frequently occur during off-hours when supervision is minimal.

Our solution

ConductVision provides automated animal behavior tracking and scoring that correlates with established manual methods, freeing researchers to focus on analysis rather than observation. Equipment utilization monitoring provides facility managers with objective usage data. Lab safety monitoring detects PPE violations, fume hood misuse, and after-hours incidents.

Capabilities - AI detection for research

Purpose-built detection models that address the specific challenges of research.

  • People Detection. Real-time occupancy intelligence from any camera feed — available for deployment at any scale.
  • PPE Detection. Verify hard hats, vests, goggles, gloves, and respiratory protection — automatically, continuously — available for deployment.
  • Environmental Monitoring. Water levels, flood risk, vegetation health, and erosion — visual intelligence born from ConductScience's environmental research heritage — available for deployment.
  • Behavioral Analytics. Loitering, aggression, crowd surges, and abandoned objects — anomaly detection grounded in behavioral science — available for deployment.

Use cases

How organizations in research are using ConductVision.

Automated Animal Behavior Tracking

Overhead and side-view cameras track animal position, movement trajectories, social interactions, and specific behaviors in home cages and test apparatus. Built on ConductScience's proven foundation in lab animal behavioral analysis, automated scoring reduces observer bias and enables continuous monitoring across light/dark cycles.

Experiment Documentation

Time-stamped video records of experimental procedures, equipment configurations, and environmental conditions provide objective documentation that supports reproducibility. Footage is linked to electronic lab notebooks and indexed by experiment ID.

Laboratory Safety Monitoring

Cameras verify PPE compliance, fume hood sash position, and proper chemical handling practices. After-hours lab occupancy is monitored for lone-worker safety, with alerts when personnel are detected in restricted areas outside of authorized schedules.

Shared Equipment Utilization

Core facility instruments such as microscopes, centrifuges, and sequencers are monitored for active use versus idle time. Utilization data informs grant-funded equipment purchases, scheduling optimization, and cost-recovery calculations.

Vivarium Environmental Monitoring

Cameras in animal housing areas monitor cage conditions, water bottle levels, and environmental indicators. Behavioral anomalies across colony populations can indicate environmental issues before they are detected by standard environmental sensors.
