Control system and method for a fluid mixing apparatus

A method of configuring a cell culture media mixing process, comprising:

• providing an integrated control unit including a display and a set of ports;
• displaying a bioproduction workspace screen on the display, the bioproduction workspace screen graphically representing the cell culture media mixing process;
• providing a mixing system including a device;
• connecting the device to a port within the set of ports;
• and
• automatically activating the device and displaying a bioprocess module within the bioproduction workspace screen on the display upon connection of the device to the port, the bioprocess module graphically representing a process relating to the device.

A method of configuring a bioproduction mixing process, comprising:

• providing an integrated control unit including an interactive display and a set of ports;
• providing a cell culture media mixing system including a rigid housing and a flexible compartment configured to conform to an interior of the rigid housing, wherein the flexible compartment includes a mixing element and an interior of the flexible compartment is configured to contain a fluid and nutrients;
• connecting a sensor to one of the ports, wherein the sensor is in communication with the interior of the flexible compartment;
• automatically displaying a bioprocess module graphically representing a process relating to that represents the sensor on the interactive display upon connection of the sensor to the port;
• and
• arranging a set of bioprocess modules within a bioproduction workspace screen on the interactive display based on an identification of the sensor, the bioproduction workspace screen graphically representing the bioproduction mixing process, wherein the order of the displayed bioprocess modules correlates to the order in which a set of processes will take place within a process workflow.
