Hi Eric! Welcome to permies!
What is the scale of operation that you want to do?
How exactly does your pressure canner work?
How big is the pressure canner?
What exactly does it look like (a picture might help)?
What type of control system do you have in mind?
Right now, the closest things I can find similar to what you might be trying to do are examples of people using
pressure cookers for substrate sterilization and
mushroom cultivation.
