Count frozen semen straws in under a minute.
SemenStrawCOUNTER is an AI-powered, camera-based system that counts up to 1,000 straws immersed in liquid nitrogen with more than 99% accuracy — no cleaning, no exposure, no risk to dose quality. Built for cryobanks, AI centers, and high-volume breeding operations.

Counting straws by hand is slow, risky, and expensive.
Cryobanks and AI centers handle hundreds of thousands — sometimes millions — of straws each year. Every count by hand is an opportunity for error, delay, and damage to the doses themselves. The cost shows up everywhere: in payroll, in failed audits, in customer complaints, and in the slow erosion of trust in your own inventory numbers.
Technicians spend hours each shift counting straws by hand — time that could be invested in higher-value work.
Fatigue, lighting, and human bias compound miscounts across thousands of doses, throwing inventory out of sync.
Inaccurate counts cause customer disputes, failed audits, and write-offs that quietly erode margins year after year.
Everything you need to modernize your AI lab inventory.
Hardware, software, and integration — engineered to work together out of the box. No additional sensors, no proprietary consumables, no recurring lab supplies.
Advanced Camera AI
20MP industrial machine-vision camera paired with a deep-learning detection model trained on millions of annotated straw images across colors, sizes, and packing densities.
Under 1 Minute
Counts up to 1,000 straws in less than 60 seconds — including image capture, model inference, validation, and report generation.
99%+ Accuracy
Independently verified to outperform manual counts in side-by-side trials, removing fatigue, bias, and double-counting from the workflow.
Cryogenic-Safe
Doses remain fully immersed in liquid nitrogen throughout the count. No thaw risk, no exposure, no degradation of semen quality.
ERP / LIMS Integration
REST API and webhooks push counts, batch IDs, and packing lists directly into your existing inventory or field-management software.
Custom Reporting
Configure packing lists, audit trails, and dashboards tailored to your operation — exportable as PDF, CSV, or pushed straight to your ERP.
The AI sees what the human eye misses.
A 20MP industrial camera captures each goblet while our deep-learning model detects, classifies, and counts every straw — regardless of color, size, or how tightly they're packed. Each detection is bounded, indexed, and stored as part of an auditable scan record.
- Counts straws of all colors and sizes — yellow, red, blue, white, green, transparent
- Eliminates double-counting, skipped straws, and operator-fatigue errors
- Handles dense, irregular, and partially obscured packing patterns
- Improves automatically with usage as the model is retrained on your data
- Generates a full audit trail with timestamped image, count, and operator ID
A better way to count.
Side-by-side, the difference is dramatic — in time, accuracy, safety, and the cost of running an inventory operation.
- ⏱ 5–15 minutes per goblet of focused effort
- ❄️ Straws lifted out — risk of thaw and quality loss
- 👁️ 2–8% error rate compounding across thousands of doses
- 📋 Manual paper records, transcription errors
- 👥 Requires multiple full-time technicians
- 📉 No structured audit trail or scan history
- ⚡ 1,000 straws in under a minute, end to end
- 🛡️ Doses remain immersed in liquid nitrogen throughout
- 🎯 99%+ accuracy that improves with every scan
- 🔌 Auto-syncs counts and reports to your ERP via API
- 👤 Operated by a single technician — no specialist required
- 📊 Full audit trail: image, count, operator, timestamp
Pays for itself within the first quarter.
Most operations recover the cost of the system through labor savings alone within 90 days of deployment. Add in reduced shrinkage, faster audits, and fewer customer disputes, and the ROI compounds rapidly.
We're happy to model the savings against your specific volumes — typical mid-sized cryobanks see annual savings well into six figures.

The system is species- and color-agnostic. If your operation handles straws in liquid nitrogen, it will work for you.
Trusted by teams who count millions of doses.
"We replaced two full-time counters with a single SemenStrawCOUNTER station. Audits that used to take three days now finish in an afternoon — and the numbers are finally trusted."
"The integration with our ERP was the deal-breaker. Counts hit our inventory system the moment a goblet finishes scanning. No paper, no transcription errors."
"What surprised us was how the model handled our oldest, most densely packed goblets. The AI just sees them. Our technicians love it."

How accurate is SemenStrawCOUNTER compared to manual counting?
In side-by-side trials across multiple straw colors and goblet densities, SemenStrawCOUNTER consistently delivers 99%+ accuracy — outperforming manual counts that typically range from 92–98% depending on operator fatigue and goblet density.
Does the system require an internet connection?
No. The AI model runs locally on the bundled Intel Ultra Core i9 laptop. The system operates fully offline and syncs to your ERP whenever a connection is available.
Is it safe for the semen doses?
Yes. Straws stay fully immersed in liquid nitrogen during the entire count. The camera images down through the vapor without ever exposing the doses to ambient air.
How long does it take to set up?
Most installations are fully operational within a single day. The system is plug-and-play, requires no special facility modifications, and our team provides on-site or remote training.
What goblet sizes are supported?
All standard goblet sizes used in the industry. The rotation stage and AI model are calibrated to handle variations in diameter, depth, and straw packing density.
Can it integrate with our existing ERP or LIMS?
Yes. We provide a documented REST API and webhook system. Most integrations with mainstream ERPs and inventory platforms are completed within a few days.
