Digital technologies: The performance enabler for animal research facility effectiveness and sustainability

Increasing demands for capacity, energy use reduction, effective research methods, and recruitment continues to raise the bar for animal research facility operating efficiency. Digitalization is the way forward to reach the performance levels required and, in this session, Paul Fuson demonstrates how to push energy efficiency, asset, and space utilization even further, and meet physical and cyber security demands through sophisticated research environment management tools. He profiles applications of digital technologies to unlock new data insights from the cage to the penthouse and identify operating improvement opportunities, and to navigate the relationship between the built environment and facility users.
