About Workshop:
Bioprocess engineering and fermentation are central to industries such as pharmaceuticals, biofuels, food technology, and enzyme production. However, maintaining optimal conditions in bioreactors is complex due to dynamic variables like nutrient availability, oxygen transfer, pH, and microbial growth. Traditional monitoring approaches often lack predictive capabilities, leading to inefficiencies and variability in production.
Digital twins—virtual replicas of physical bioprocess systems—enable real-time simulation and predictive control of fermentation processes. By integrating sensor data, kinetic models, and AI algorithms, digital twins can forecast process behavior, detect anomalies, and optimize parameters for improved yield and consistency. This workshop explores dry-lab workflows for building simplified digital twin models, enabling participants to understand how smart biomanufacturing systems operate in Industry 4.0 environments.
Aim: This workshop aims to introduce participants to the concept of digital twins in bioprocess engineering and fermentation systems. It focuses on using real-time data, mathematical modeling, and AI to simulate, monitor, and optimize bioprocess performance. Participants will learn how digital twins enhance process control, productivity, and scalability in industrial biotechnology. The program bridges bioprocess engineering, data science, and smart manufacturing.
