With fermHUB and ‘Golden Batch Fermentation’, I no longer find any surprises in the bioreactor
Reproducibility is the biggest challenge in fermentation. With the Golden Batch Fermentation feature in fermHUB, you can turn past successes into a clear target range for every new batch. Live data is compared in real time with the best historical runs, whilst predictive analytics identify trends at an early stage and provide specific recommendations for action – ensuring maximum yield and full process control.

fermSYS VOC-Buddy for making water kefir with intelligent fermentation control
fermSYS Buddy: Dynamic Bioprocess Control for Water Kefir
Discover how the fermSYS Buddy transforms water kefir fermentation from static recipes into an intelligent, automated bioprocess. By connecting the compact fermSYS CUBE to a dosing pump via ad-hoc Wi-Fi, it enables real-time feedback and PID-controlled dynamic feeding. Combining biotechnology, AI, and smart hardware optimizes substrate use, enhances taste consistency, shortens production times, and leads the way to aut

From Soft Sensors to Autonomous Fermentation Control: Scaling Intelligent Strategies with fermHUB
How can we make fermentation processes more transparent, intelligent and autonomous? In her Bachelor’s thesis at Westphalian University of Applied Sciences, a student combines a fermSYS VOC sensor with an external turbidity sensor to develop a soft sensor for cell viability. The next step: using fermHUB to turn online process insights into intelligent control strategies for a future of autonomous fermentation.
