Vivarium automation is not a single technology — it is a connected ecosystem of physical and digital systems that reshapes how facilities operate, how data flows, and how research gets done. Brian Bilecki maps the full scope of automation across animal rooms, support spaces, and facility workflows, from cage-level environmental monitoring and automated census tracking to cage wash robotics and unified control infrastructure. He advises on where to start, how to sequence investments, and how facility design — organized around functional cores like biocontainment, breeding, and behavioral research — enables automation to deliver durable operational and scientific returns.
