Abstract
The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for activity based enzyme formulation management of an enzyme formulation comprising (i) receiving input data, preferably via an input unit (10), of at least one storage segment data defined by at least temperature and storage duration and an initial enzyme activity value of said enzyme Predicted degradation formulation; (ii) determining, specifically calculating, a remaining activity value of the enzyme formulation based on the storage segment data and the initial enzyme activity value via a processing unit (20); (iii) providing a remaining activity value for the enzyme formulation, preferably via an output unit (30), and (iv) managing said enzyme formulation based on the remaining activity value of step (iii), said managing preferably comprising at least one of —providing a dosage recommendation based on the remaining activity value of the enzyme formulation, preferably via an output unit (30); —providing a residual shelf life indicator for said enzyme formulation based on the remaining activity value of the enzyme formulation; —automated adjustment of a dosage of the enzyme formulation by controlling of a dosing equipment; and/or —eliciting an order of a batch of enzyme formulation if the remaining activity value is indicative of the total enzyme activity in the enzyme formulation being below a pre-determined threshold value. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for activity based enzyme formulation management of an enzyme formulation, comprising: —an input unit (10) configured to receive a data input, preferably a user interface, wherein the data input comprises storage segment data defined by at least temperature and duration and an initial enzyme activity value of said enzyme formulation; —a processing unit (20), preferably a processing unit comprising at least one processor, configured, specifically by programming, to determine, specifically to calculate, a remaining activity value of the enzyme formulation based on the storage segment data and the initial enzyme activity value; and —an output unit (30) configured to output the remaining activity value for the enzyme formulation to the user and/or to a data interface; and to a system comprising said apparatus. The present invention further relates to methods, computer programs, data carriers, and uses related to the aforesaid method, apparatus, and system.
