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​
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.
Per-Fermenter Control:
Seamlessly scale up from theCUBE to full SCADA running on standalone Linux.
Multi-Sensor & Actor Expansion:
-
Connect further sensors (turbidity, Oâ‚‚, COâ‚‚) & actuators.
-
Develop soft sensors instead of manual sampling and expensive analytics
Plug&Play and easy to use:
Sensors and actuators that have been integrated once are automatically recognised again
Control Strategies:
Multi sensor and actor control strategies possible.
Integrate external Data:
-
Add Manual Data (e.g. OD)
-
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.
