Insilico provides its customers with predictive digital twins for process development and manufacturing. Recently, through the collaboration with Meyer Chroma Technology (MCT), Insilico has added digital twins for purification to its product portfolio. Now Insilico is taking its vision of the Smart Biofactory one step further and is announcing the alliance with 2-control ApS to create plant-wide control of the individual digital twins as well as the entire digital value chain. 2-control ApS, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, has been supplying control and optimization for complex industrial processes for more than twenty years. The combination of 2-control’s model predictive control with Insilico Digital Twins now opens up new possibilities for customers to monitor, control and optimize performance, robustness as well as product quality, both for the individual digital twins and for the entire system.

Klaus Mauch, CEO of Insilico, says: "Insilico is looking forward to working with 2-control. By controlling the individual Digital Twins as well as the entire system, it will be possible to take process performance and process robustness of our customers' bio-production to a new level." And Prof. John Bagterp Jorgensen, CEO of 2-control, adds: "The collaboration with Insilico opens up new, exciting areas of application in biotechnological process development and production. The biotechnological industry will greatly benefit from our many years of experience with complex industrial processes".
