Remote Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): A revolutionary technique

   COVID has taught us many things that can not be possible earlier and we should thank COVID. Amide COVID we learn many ways of live a life in a digital way. Remote Factory Acceptance Test (Remote FAT) is also a new digital way of thinking that provides a solution for traditional FAT.  In other words, we can say it as a Virtual Factory Acceptance Test (VFAT). Virtual FAT will become very popular method in the future.

      Digitization is changing a way to live a life in an easy and different way. Digitization is an improved way of traditional to simplify our life. Same it is applicable to manufacturing industries also. 


     Digitization is an improved, simplified, cost-saving, productive, and most effective tool to develop yourself to stand in world standards.


     Innovation is the birth of a new digitization technique. Daily many things are happening in the world to simplify things.


      In this race, the pharmaceutical sector also moved to step forward to a digitizing for the industry. Let's understand what is Remote FAT. 


Here we are going to understand Remote FAT procedure:


1. What is Remote FAT?

2. What is the Requirement of Remote FAT?
3. What are the Benefits of Remote of FAT?
4. How to perform Remote FAT?
5. Who performs Remote FAT?

Let's understand the things,



1. What is Remote FAT (Factory Acceptance Test):


  Earlier we used to perform the FAT at the manufacturing site but now due to COVID new technology is come into the picture that is Remote FAT. Remote FAT is a replacement of the traditional FAT.
    Remote FAT is a technique where the customer no needs to visit the manufacturing site. Remote FAT can be possible from your own office place.  
    The instrument manufacturing site will provide software, on the basis of that we can do Remote FAT.

2. What is the Requirement of Remote FAT?


     The first thing that as we know traditional FAT is a very time consuming, costly, and slow procedure. It takes much time to get approval. 

      And the second thing is that due to COVID it is very difficult to travel throughout and it can not be avoided in the future also, so the need of the future is, we need to focus more on an online or digital platform where we can do it in better, easy, fast way.

3. What are the benefits of Remote FAT?

    
        Here important thing we need to understand is, if we accept Remote FAT as a part pharma industry, what could be the benefits to the customer as well as the manufacturer. 

1. Remote FAT is an easy and fast process.

2. Remote FAT is a time-saving technique for customers as well as manufacturers, it can be finished in a day or faster than that. No need to provide physical appearance.

3. Remote FAT will be a cost-saving process, no need to send an expert to visit the manufacturing site.

4. Remote FAT eliminates physical challenges also.

5. Remote FAT can build belied and good relations with the manufacturer.

     Ultimately, it is an easy, faster, cheap, and cost-saving technique.

4. How to perform Remote FAT:


   Remote FAT can be performed by an online platform. The manufacturing site will provide Factory Acceptance Test software that will be high resolution, the manufacturer will cover all angles of the instrument. By live streaming, we can chat online or can use for communication video and audio mediums. The software will have the HD video recording system if any doubt we can check HD recording and get resolved query. Copies of HD Video and audio recording will be available with both the customer and manufacturing site. HD video recording has a benefit that no need to do again FAT. 

5. Who performs Remote FAT?


    The automated machine-making companies can provide such solutions. Italy based groups provide Remote FAT in the pharmaceutical industry. Industrial Machine Automatic (IMA) group provides a Remote FAT facility to customers. The group already working on this. MR Systems, Schneider electric also the organization that performs Virtual FAT.
