Triggering enhanced process robustness and predictability in SUT by AI-based digital twins

Single Use Technologies (SUT) still struggle on providing process robustness and predictability across scales. This lecture explains the benefits and potentials of using digital twins to allow for compensating bioprocess performance variations as for example caused by material variability or scale up effects. The role of AI in conjunction with digital twins will be discussed. We explain the possibility to counteract batch failure by predictive control strategies and deep integration of digital twins in a digital transformation program.
