Who it's for

Built for the people who handle millions of doses.

From small AI centers to industrial-scale cryobanks, SemenStrawCOUNTER fits into the workflows you already run — and makes them dramatically faster, safer, and more accurate. Below: detailed use cases by operation type, end-to-end workflow examples, and the operational metrics that matter.

Use cases by operation

Six ways teams put it to work.

Cryobanks & Storage Facilities

Challenge

Massive populations of goblets — often millions of doses across hundreds of tanks — make full inventory audits impractical with manual counting.

Solution

Run full population audits in days instead of weeks. Replace destructive sampling with complete, documented counts of every goblet.

100% population coverageAudits in days, not weeksDefensible inventory numbers

AI & Breeding Centers

Challenge

Operations need to track inventory by sire, batch, and goblet in real time, but manual counting creates a bottleneck before every shipment.

Solution

Scan-on-demand counting integrated with herd management software. Inventory updates the moment a goblet is processed.

Outgoing Inspection & Packing

Challenge

Customer disputes over short or wrong shipments are expensive and damage trust. Manual packing lists are slow and error-prone.

Solution

Generate a verified, image-backed packing list automatically for every shipment. Resolve disputes with a tap.

Image-verified shipmentsAuto-generated packing listsNear-zero customer disputes

Incoming Inspection

Challenge

Verifying supplier deliveries traditionally relies on spot-checks. Shortages and discrepancies often surface only weeks later.

Solution

Count every incoming goblet at receiving. Catch shortages immediately with photographic evidence for supplier claims.

Same-day discrepancy detectionSupplier-grade audit evidenceFaster receiving workflows

Research & Academic Labs

Challenge

Research operations need precise, reproducible counts for studies and experiments — but manual counting introduces uncontrolled variability.

Solution

Standardized, repeatable counting with full image and audit history per sample. Eliminate operator-dependent variability.

Reproducible measurementsPer-sample image archiveCompatible with LIMS workflows

Export & Government Inspection

Challenge

Export shipments require certified counts and documentation. Inspectors need verifiable evidence of dose quantities.

Solution

Issue inspection-grade reports with annotated images, timestamps, operator IDs, and tamper-evident audit trails.

End-to-end workflows

How a typical day looks.

Three of the most common workflows our customers run, step-by-step.

Daily inventory check

  1. 1Technician selects a tank from the operator console
  2. 2Pulls each goblet, places it under the scanner
  3. 3Scans complete in under a minute per goblet
  4. 4Counts auto-sync to inventory system
  5. 5Discrepancies are flagged for supervisor review

Outgoing shipment

  1. 1Pull required goblets per the customer order
  2. 2Scan each goblet to verify count and contents
  3. 3System generates a packing list with images
  4. 4Customer receives PDF + verified counts
  5. 5Shipment data flows into ERP and CRM

Annual audit

  1. 1Audit team scans every goblet in scope
  2. 2System tracks progress per tank and per shelf
  3. 3Automatic reconciliation against inventory of record
  4. 4Variances flagged with photographic evidence
  5. 5Final audit report exported as PDF + CSV
Sample scenario

A mid-sized cryobank, one year in.

An illustrative scenario based on a representative mid-sized cryobank handling ~1.2 million doses annually across 80 storage tanks, processing 600+ goblets per week.

  • Annual labor saved: ~4,800 technician-hours
  • Inventory accuracy: improved from 94% to 99.6%
  • Audit duration: reduced from 14 days to 36 hours
  • Customer disputes on shipment counts: down 92%
  • Payback period: under 4 months

Workflow integration

Plugs straight into your ERP.

A clean REST API pushes counts, scan metadata, and packing lists directly into your inventory or field-management software — no manual data entry, no double-handling. Pre-built connectors for major herd-management and inventory platforms are included; custom integrations are supported by our team.
