PAT (Process Analytical Technology)

Process Analytical Technology (PAT) is a system used in manufacturing—especially in industries like pharmaceuticals—to monitor and analyze production in real-time. It involves using sensors, instruments, and data analysis tools to observe critical process parameters and product quality during manufacturing. By doing so, companies can ensure their products meet safety and quality standards more efficiently, reduce waste, and make adjustments on the fly. Essentially, PAT helps create a more controlled, consistent, and transparent manufacturing process by providing immediate feedback and insights as products are made.
