System setup for monitoring and/or controlling fermentation processes

Abstract

The present invention describes a system setup for monitoring and/or controlling one or multiple fermentation processes, said system setup comprising—at least one fermentation unit; a data acquisition unit; and a cloud computing unit having a database, a file storage capability, a data calculation capability and a user interface capability; wherein the at least one fermentation unit is connected to the acquisition unit which in turn is connected to the cloud computing unit so that on-line, real-time data on the one or multiple fermentation processes may be transferred from the at least one fermentation unit via the data acquisition unit to the cloud computing unit to be interpreted and displayed for a user being on-line, and wherein the system set-up enables measuring in the at least one fermentation unit and/or the data acquisition unit of the on-line, real-time data on the one or multiple fermentation processes, wherein the system setup also comprises—one or multiple laboratory simulation platform(s) and/or full-scale process(es) comprising said at least one fermentation unit, being in data connection with the cloud computing unit; and wherein the data acquisition unit is connected to the cloud computing unit so that all data acquisition, data interpretation and data storage is performed centralized on the cloud computing unit.
