FermentDT
AI fermentation advisory & control

Your best batch, every batch.

FermentDT is an AI supervisory control system (a digital twin) that plugs into the PLC/SCADA you already run, giving your team a layer of foresight and real-time insight into every fermentation. Vendor-neutral, software-only, no rip-and-replace.

0:57 · captioned · a simulated twin on synthetic data, not a live plant.

From hindsight to foresight

  • Problems not found until samples are processedDrift caught early, before it becomes a loss
  • Lab values sampled by handSoft sensors infer them continuously
  • Holding a static setpointSteering to a target curve
  • An alarm after the factA recommended correction, confirmed by the operator

How it works

Four moves, around the clock.

  1. 01

    Sense

    Neural soft sensors infer sugar, ethanol, and biomass from instruments already on the tank.

  2. 02

    Predict

    A live model runs each batch forward and flags where it is heading off-curve.

  3. 03

    Decide

    Model-predictive control (MPC) solves for the feed, heat, and air moves.

  4. 04

    Steer

    Recommended setpoints go to the operator, who remains fully in control.

Every batch will make your model smarter.

What FermentDT delivers

  • Protected yield through early warning of stuck, sluggish, or contaminated ferments
  • Less downtime and manual sampling
  • No new hardware and no capex wall

Built for

One closed-loop engine, spoken in your language

Wine

Once-a-year ferments where a stuck or spoiled tank is a vintage you can't redo — and nobody can sample every tank every hour.

Beer & cider

Year-round, high-throughput fermentation where batch-to-batch consistency and tank turns are the whole economics.

Canola & soy

Oilseed meal and other crop sidestreams fermented into high-value ingredients, where a repeatable ferment is what turns a byproduct into a product.

Cannabis & food-ag

Emerging precision-fermentation and food processes where repeatable yield and process control gate scale-up.

Industrial bioprocess

Larger bioprocess operations running on PLC/SCADA that want closed-loop intelligence without an enterprise rip-and-replace.

Developed through a 12-month R&D consortium (Ai26.10) on live industrial fermentation in collaboration with Crush Dynamics and Protein Industries Canada.

The lab

Prototypes, films and working notes. Access for partners and investors.

The lab is where the build lives, newest first. It isn't public. If you back companies like ours, or build the systems around fermentation, ask and a person will come back to you.
