An end-to-end straw-counting system.
SemenStrawCOUNTER combines precision hardware with advanced AI to deliver a complete, deployable solution — designed specifically for cryobanks, breeding centers, and AI labs that need to count thousands of frozen semen straws every day.
Everything ships in one box: camera, rotation stage, edge compute, software, and integration tooling. No third-party assembly, no separate sensor purchases, no recurring consumables.
What's in the box.
Four tightly-integrated components, engineered to work as a single system from the moment they arrive.
Goblet Rotation Machine
Precision stepper-motor stage rotates each goblet under the camera for full 360° capture, with no exposure of straws to ambient air. Adjustable speed, vibration-damped, designed for continuous-duty operation in cryogenic environments.
20MP Industrial Camera + Lens
Global-shutter machine-vision camera with hardened optics, calibrated for cryogenic-condensation environments. Captures distortion-free imagery through liquid nitrogen vapor with consistent exposure.
Intel Ultra Core i9 Edge Laptop, 1TB SSD
Workstation-grade laptop runs the AI model entirely locally. Fast, offline-capable, and ready for the field. Includes hardened SSD storage for the full scan history and an integrated UPS battery.
Advanced AI Software
Deep-learning detection model purpose-built for straws in liquid nitrogen. Includes operator UI, scan history, packing-list generator, ERP sync, and admin controls — all in one application.
Built for production labs.
Engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing cryogenic workflows, with the speed and reliability that high-volume operations demand. Every component is rated for continuous-duty use in laboratory environments.

More than a counter — a complete platform.
Everything an inventory operation needs: capture, count, report, integrate, audit, and improve. All in one app.
Operator Console
Single-screen workflow: scan, validate, save. Designed so a new technician can be productive within minutes.
Reports & Packing Lists
Generate per-goblet, per-batch, and per-shipment reports. Export as PDF, CSV, or push directly to your ERP.
Scan History & Audit Trail
Every scan stored with image, count, operator ID, timestamp, and goblet metadata — fully searchable.
ERP & LIMS Integrations
Documented REST API and webhooks. Pre-built connectors for major inventory platforms; custom integrations on request.
Roles & Access Control
Granular permissions for technicians, supervisors, and admins. Optional SSO and SAML support for enterprise deployments.
Continuous Model Updates
The detection model is retrained periodically on new data. Updates are delivered seamlessly to your local installation.
Plugs into your existing stack.
SemenStrawCOUNTER ships with a documented REST API, webhook system, and CSV/PDF export. Most ERP and LIMS integrations are completed within a few days — no rip-and-replace required.
- REST API with full OpenAPI documentation
- Webhook events on scan completion, validation, and export
- Pre-built connectors for major inventory & herd-management platforms
- Custom integrations supported by our engineering team
- CSV and PDF export for systems without an API

}Your data stays yours.
The system is local-first by design. Scan data lives on the bundled hardware unless you explicitly choose to export it. Air-gapped deployments are supported for regulated environments.
- Local-first AI inference — your scan data never leaves your network unless you choose
- Encrypted storage of scan history and reports on the bundled SSD
- Role-based access control with full audit logging
- Optional SSO / SAML for enterprise identity providers
- Air-gapped deployment available for regulated environments
- GDPR-friendly data handling with configurable retention policies
From first call to first scan.
A predictable, low-risk path from evaluation to production — typically completed within 4–6 weeks.
Discovery
30-minute call to understand your operation, volumes, goblet types, and integration needs.
Live demo
On-site or remote demo with a real goblet from your operation. We baseline accuracy against your existing process.
Pilot
Optional 2–4 week pilot at one of your facilities. We measure throughput, accuracy, and operator satisfaction.
Deployment
Hardware delivery, on-site install, operator training, and ERP integration — typically completed within one day on-site.
Ongoing support
Software updates, model retraining, remote diagnostics, and direct access to our engineering team.
A complete, plug-and-play solution.
You're buying an outcome — accurate, fast, audited counts — not a research project. We've engineered every layer of the stack to deliver that outcome on day one.
