DOI: 10.1002/elsc.202000058 Successful operation, control and optimization of biotechnological process depend on reliable real‐time available measurements of the process variables. Although some hardware sensors are readily available, they often have several drawbacks: cost, sample destruction, discrete‐time measurements, processing delay, sterilization, disturbances in the hydrodynamic conditions inside the bioreactor, etc. It is therefore of interest to use software sensors [29, 30]. The central idea behind a soft sensor is to use easily accessible on‐line data for the estimation of other process variables that are either difficult to measure or only measured at low frequency [30]. The figure illustrates a software sensor for on‐line monitoring of substrate and biomass production in backers yeast cultivation. For details see article DOI 10.1002/elsc.202000058 on page 169.
