Embedded IoT Design for Bioreactor Sensor Integration

Abstract

This paper proposes an embedded Internet of Things (IoT) system for bioreactor sensor integration, aimed at optimizing temperature and turbidity control during cell cultivation. Utilizing an ESP32 development board, the system makes advances on previous iterations by incorporating superior analog-to-digital conversion capabilities, dual-core processing, and integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The key components include a DS18B20 digital temperature sensor, a TS-300B turbidity sensor, and a Peltier module for temperature regulation. Through real-time monitoring and data transmission to cloud platforms, the system facilitates advanced process control and optimization. The experimental results on yeast cultures demonstrate the system’s effectiveness at maintaining optimal growth, highlighting its potential to enhance bioprocessing techniques. The proposed solution underscores the practical applications of the IoT in bioreactor environments, offering insights into the improved efficiency and reliability of culture cultivation processes.
