techniques enable solid bases for digital transformation in the biopharmaceutical industry. Among various data analytical techniques, the Kalman filter and its non-linear extensions are powerful tools for prediction of reliable process information. The combination of the Kalman filter with a virtual representation of the bioprocess, called digital twin, can provide real-time available process information. Incorporation of such variables in process operation can provide improved control performance with enhanced productivity. In this chapter the linear discrete Kalman filter, the extended Kalman filter and the unscented Kalman filters are described and a brief overview of applications of the Kalman filter and its non-linear extensions to bioreactors are presented. Furthermore, in a case study an example of the digital twin of the backer’s yeast batch cultivation process is presented. Graphical Abstract A digital twin of a bioreactor mirrors the processes of the real bioreactor. It contains the physical parts, the process model and prediction algorithm to predict the bioprocess variables. These values could be used for optimization and control of the process.
