We offer cooperation as partner in scientific projects which require an automated operant conditioning of animals. In this case, the cooperating institute is the Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology in Dummerstorf, Germany.

We offer consulting services for institutions and companies which require an expert opinion for projects or trial setups involving automated operant conditioning. This service includes temporary support in the development or implementation of custom solutions, support in developing new concepts for animal training and the preparation of surveys.

The guarantee for reproducible training results is a commercially available hard and software platform. This platform is sold and produced by the pironex GmbH as pia-SF. It features a fanless embedded SoC with a touch panel, housed in a IP65 protected enclosure. The device includes…
