fermHUB for smart monitoring and control of bio processes - – flexible, vendor-neutral, open-source
fermHUB-SCADA can take your fermentation data into account – from online monitoring and control right through to your local, manual analysis data​
Schematic system architecture of fermHUB SCADA:
connection of online sensors, actors and interfaces for real-time control and Golden Batch optimisation
Take a look at how fermHUB is being used as the central fermentation platform in the laboratory of the ’Bioprocess Engineering’ group at the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences in Recklinghausen.
Your Benefits
Per Fermenter Control: Seamlessly scale up from the CUBE to full SCADA running on standalone PC.
Multi-Sensor & Actor Expansion: Connect further sensors (turbidity, Oâ‚‚, COâ‚‚), actuators & soft sensors instead of manual sampling and expensive analytics
Plug & Play - easy to use: Sensors and actuators that have been integrated once are automatically recognised again
Control Strategies: Develop and implement multi sensor and actor control strategies for biopreocess optimization.
Integrate external Data: 1) Add Manual Data (e.g. OD) 2) Upload Key Documents (e.g. HPLC reports)
No data silo or vendor lock-in: Sends data to other systems via OPC-UA, ModBus and HTTP protocol.
Explore our Use Cases:
Functional overview
User management:
A central user management system allows users to be created and access to the data platform to be regulated.
​
Web-based access => no software installation required:
The data platform is web-enabled and can be accessed via a web browser using a user name and password.
Client separation:
As a local data platform, fermHUB is accessible to all locally authorised persons via an ad hoc WLAN. fermHUB - COPILOT Cloud, as a central web platform, ensures that data is separated for each client.
Sensor management:
All connected sensors are automatically detected, can be configured via a central sensor management and integrated into your personal fermentation process.
Actor management:
All connected actors are automatically detected, can be configured via a central actor management and integrated into your personal fermentation process.
Fermentation configuration:
Configure your fermentation by picking out all the sensors, soft sensors, actuators you need and then start your fermentation.
Fermentation monitoring and controling:
Always know what is happening in the fermenter by monitoring data of all sensors and actuators in a central dashboard.
Fermentation prediction:
AI plugins predict the specific fermentation process through pattern recognition.
