Abstract

Digitalization is having an increasing impact on all industrial sectors, including the chemical and biotechnological industries. Aiming for innovative research and development, the Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences play a pivotal role in transferring academic knowledge and know-how to industrial practice. We review selected examples of projects related to the digitalization of processes and bioprocesses at four different institutions across Switzerland. These developments cover the whole spectrum of digital technologies, including big data, connectivity, analytics and automation. They are conducted in close collaboration with industrial partners and aim to support the growth of this important industrial sector.
