1. A system comprising:
a sensing sub-system configured to be employed in a bioprocess environment, the sensing sub-system comprising:
one or more sensing units configured to measure at least one parameter of the bioprocess environment or to detect a correct connection of two connector units,
a portable battery power source electrically coupled to the one or more sensing units and configured to transmit an electrical power to the one or more sensing units, and
a switch configured to electrically couple or decouple the one or more sensing units from the power source; and
a control sub-system comprising a first controller configured to:
determine at least one power control parameter based on a user-input data and a sensing sub-system data, and
optimize consumption of the electrical power in the sensing sub-system, based on the power control parameter, wherein optimizing consumption of the electrical power in the sensing sub-system comprises:
a) calculating current consumption by the components in the sensing sub-system,
b) determining average current for the sensing sub-system;
c) computing total operation time of the sensing sub-system;
d) determining if a total operation time of the sensing sub-system is less than a time duration to complete a cycle of bioprocess operation; and,
i) changing the power control parameter if the total operation time of the sensing sub-system is less than the time duration to complete the cycle of bioprocess operation, or
ii) confirming that the power control parameter aid in optimizing the electrical power in the sensing sub-system if the total operation time of the sensing sub-system is greater than the time duration to complete the cycle of bioprocess operation,
wherein the sensing sub-system is wirelessly coupled to the control sub-system to wirelessly communicate the measured at least one parameter to the control sub-system.
