In the world of scientific research, data precision, operational convenience, and system stability are never achieved overnight.
This March, the Olden Labs DOME Smart Cage Platform has completed over 30 updates and upgrades—ranging from enterprise-level secure login to one-click randomization grouping; from seamless video-chart integration to comprehensive optimization of underlying performance.
We’ve compiled these changes into this “Evolution Log.”
Not to show off what we’ve done, but to let you know—
The smart cage is constantly becoming more attuned to your needs.
Enterprise-level security — achieved in one step
OKTA SSO Single Sign-On Now Live
As research teams grow, account management doesn't have to become more complex.
Enterprise accounts now support OKTA single sign-on—authenticate once, and the entire team gains access. Unified and efficient permission management enhances both security and convenience.
Simpler login, hassle-free management.
Experimental Grouping — Now More Rigorous

Randomization Tool Now Live — Supports Multi-Dimensional Balancing
In experimental design, the balance of group allocation directly impacts the reliability of results.
Now, simply click "Randomize" in the Grouping View to achieve balanced random grouping of cages based on characteristics such as age, sex, genotype, and more.
From manual assignment to intelligent balancing — experimental design becomes more rigorous, while operation becomes effortless.
From Charts to Video One-Click Access

Event Videos Open Instantly — Behavior Review Becomes More Intuitive
Climbing, rearing, feeding, drinking… When an interesting behavioral event appears on the chart, now just one click instantly opens the corresponding video clip.
Data is no longer just a cold point on a graph—it's a traceable moment of reality.
The Way You're Used To We Remember It For You
Global Chart Settings — Persist Across Sessions
Every researcher has their own chart viewing preferences.
Now, personalized settings such as chart grouping order and display preferences are automatically saved across sessions—log in and it's just the way you like it.
Dashboard Defaults to "All Cages"
Upon entering the system, you see the complete overview without additional filtering—information at your fingertips, more efficiently.
Data Export Capability Significantly Upgraded
Trajectory Data Export Extended from 1 Day to 30 Days
Need to review behavioral trajectories over a longer period? Now supports data export of up to 30 days—meeting the needs of longer-term analysis.
Video Download Size Reduced by 5x
The same video content, now in a significantly smaller file—faster transfers, less storage usage.
Notification Features Smarter, More Comprehensive
Low Activity Alerts: From Images to Video
When the system detects abnormally low activity, alert messages now include video clips directly—offering greater diagnostic value than static images and helping you quickly pinpoint issues.
Offline Alerts: More Complete Information
When a device goes offline, alert details now include key information such as user, organization, and last video timestamp—making troubleshooting more efficient.
Animal Information Mismatch Alerts: Merged by Email
Reduces duplicate notifications for cleaner communication.
Underlying Architecture Building the Foundation for the Future
Automatic Data Integrity Check Added for Each Device
Optimized Browser Performance Degradation Caused by Long-Term Use
Completed SSL Certificate Testing for Development Environment — Ensuring Secure Data Transmission
Final Thoughts
30 updates, 30 refinements.
Behind every new feature and every experience optimization is our understanding and support for your research work.
The Olden Labs DOME Smart Cage is more than just a data acquisition tool.
It is growing into a partner that truly understands scientific research—and understands you.
Moving forward, we will continue at this pace—
Evolving continuously, transparently, in sync.
Olden Labs DOME Smart Cage — Introduction

The Olden Labs DOME Smart Cage is an automated intelligent housing platform purpose-built for behavioral neuroscience and drug discovery, designed to elevate animal behavior research to "Animal Research 2.0" through 24/7 non-invasive monitoring.
Why Choose It?
Traditional manual observation is limited by subjectivity and fragmented data. The DOME Smart Cage integrates high‑precision video with sensor fusion to deliver continuous, objective, quantifiable behavioral and health data—supporting more reliable research decisions.
How It Works?
The system automatically collects data and uploads it to the cloud platform. Researchers can access real‑time behavioral charts, review event video clips, export trajectory data, and perform group randomization, chart customization, and more—all through a web browser. From experimental design to data analysis, everything is completed in one seamless workflow.
