Challenges Faced
CMMC relied on offline methods to manage bioreactor simulations, leading to several issues:
Complex Testing Setup
Setting up bioreactor simulations required manual data entry for multiple parameters, leading to a slow and error-prone process. Users had to input values individually for each test, increasing the risk of inconsistencies and making it difficult to replicate simulations accurately.
Inefficient User Management
The lack of an automated user registration system created bottlenecks in onboarding researchers and industry professionals. Admins had to manually review and approve each request, leading to delays and inefficiencies in granting access to the simulation platform.
Lack of Real-Time Monitoring
Without a centralized digital system, tracking ongoing simulations was a challenge. Users had no way to monitor real-time data changes, which made it difficult to adjust parameters dynamically or respond to unexpected results during the testing process. This slowed down research progress and increased turnaround times for test iterations.
Scalability and Collaboration Limitations
As the consortium grew, the need for a scalable solution became apparent. The offline approach limited the ability of multiple researchers to collaborate effectively on simulations. There was no unified platform for sharing insights, modifying test parameters collectively, or reviewing previous simulation results in an organized manner.
Limited Data Visualization
Data analysis was constrained due to the absence of automated visualization tools. Users had to manually interpret raw numerical outputs, making it time-consuming to derive meaningful insights. The inability to generate visual graphs or models in real time hindered quick decision-making and slowed down research improvements.
