Abstract

A novel flexible, cross-platform compatible system for monitoring and control of biotechnological processes is proposed. Different architectures of the proposed system are outlined and analyzed. They include bioreactor with digital control unit, computer and application. The application connects to bioreactor’s controller, database, web application and cell phones or netbooks as remote clients. Questions of the system’s practical implementation are discussed. An example of developed bioprocess monitoring system is presented.
