Overview  

AutoCage is a modular, automated live-capture cage trapping system designed to improve trapping efficiency while reducing animal welfare impacts. It replaces mechanical triggers with intelligent sensing, automated door actuation, and configurable control logic, reducing the need for frequent manual checking.

AutoCage can be retrofitted to existing cage traps and integrates with the Celium Network - with options for direct cellular or satellite connectivity. Features include automated opening and closure, optional auto-release if welfare timeframes are exceeded, programmable lure dispensing, and support for connected AI camera systems to enable non-target identification and informed release decisions.
