Case Study: University of Washington improves boat traffic monitoring in sensitive marine habitats with Stillio

Stillio helps University researchers monitor boat movements in sensitive marine habitats

Researchers at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Labs needed a reliable way to collect data on boat traffic from marine websites to study impacts on sensitive habitats. Their challenge was manually capturing screenshots at precise intervals throughout the day, which was a significant use of their valuable time. They turned to the vendor Stillio for a solution.

By implementing Stillio's automated website screenshot service, the researchers were able to set up captures every few hours without manual intervention. This solution provided reliability and ease of operation, freeing the team to focus on other research tasks. The results included the ability to easily monitor and compare boat traffic data over time, which was neatly stored in one place for analysis. The researchers reported being very satisfied with the excellent customer service and the overall results provided by Stillio.
