The Fermentor Control Program was made to facilitate and automate some general and time-consuming tasks. Initially, the program was made to collect the process data during fermentation and save these for further evaluation in other programs. Soon however, there was also a need for a more user friendly program compared to the on-board fermentor control, and the possibility of a TCP/IP client connection that significantly reduced the on-site time, a factor not to be underestimated in a research laboratory. These goals merged to the development of the current program.
