Abstract: Methods and apparatus for bioprocess monitoring are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a controller to monitor a first bioprocess instrument, a data logger to collect data for the first bioprocess instrument, the collected data including data collected while the first bioprocess instrument is transferred from a first location to a second location, a configurator to configure the first bioprocess instrument to operate in a first mode at the first location and in a second mode at the second location, the first or second mode determined based on a type of processing at the first or second location, and a user interface to display the collected data to a user, the collected data including real-time bioprocess monitoring data, the controller to adjust a setting of the first bioprocess instrument based on the monitoring data, the monitoring data used to maintain controlled environmental conditions within a vessel of the instrument.

Abstract: A system and related method to facilitate the programming of a PLC without requiring a physical connection of the PLC to the device used to program it. The system includes a database and a group of functions embodied in one or more computer programs. The functions enable a user to convert industrial process information of a process worksheet into PLC programming language. The system also enables a user to generate test documents associated with the controlled industrial process. This methodology enables a robust and structured workflow for software change control with new parameters established and any changes in the process control are captured by the system.
