Frequently Asked Questions
Sartorius has restructured the naming of its software automation portfolio to establish a consistent and intuitive naming system. This change aims to clearly show the relationships between our digital products and make their purposes easily identifiable for users.
No, they serve different purposes. The Biobrain® Automation Platform is designed as a comprehensive local automation solution specifically for Sartorius instruments. In contrast, Biobrain® Supervise functions as a centralized SCADA system for bioprocesses, offering data management and automation capabilities for both Biobrain instruments and legacy Sartorius and third-party instruments. By utilizing both products, you benefit from seamless integration, optimized automation, and consistent support, which enhances efficiency and reliability while reducing operational costs and future-proofing your automation solutions.
The transition to Biobrain® Supervise will be seamlessly integrated into the regular BioPAT® MFCS software lifecycle and will be carried out with the minor release 4.16. This ensures that existing customers can update from BioPAT® MFCS to Biobrain® Supervise effortlessly, without any migration effort.
