Process Analytical Technology

Holistic solutions: integrated, validated, scalable

Process analytical technology

Process Analytical Technology (PAT) enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to monitor and control production processes in real time by measuring critical process parameters (CPPs) and critical quality attributes (CQAs) during manufacturing rather than relying solely on final product testing.

However, the value of Process Analytical Technology goes beyond measurement. It lies in transforming process data into actionable insights that improve process understanding, process control, and product quality.

That is why Glatt takes a holistic approach to Process Analytical Technology: We combine consulting, integration, and lifecycle services, supporting pharmaceutical manufacturers in evaluating, developing, integrating, and reliably operating PAT applications over the long term. The result are robust solutions that help make processes more transparent, enable faster responses to deviations, and improve product quality.

One partner for the entire Process Analytical Technology lifecycle

Glatt supports the entire Process Analytical Technology lifecycle. From the initial process question through technical implementation to long-term operation, we ensure that Process Analytical Technology delivers measurable benefits in pharmaceutical manufacturing: better decisions, faster responses during the process, and higher product quality.

Consulting

Assess. Decide. Develop.

The success of a Process Analytical Technology application begins long before the hardware is selected. We help you assess potential, identify the right use cases, and develop a sound strategy for successful implementation.

  • PAT assessment
  • PAT strategy
  • Methodology & sensor consulting
  • Integration concepts
  • Regulatory support

Integration

Connect. Integrate. Automate.

For high-performance Process Analytical Technology applications over the long term: Process Analytical Technology does not end with commissioning. To ensure that models, measurement systems, and processes continue to function reliably over time, we support you with comprehensive services throughout the entire lifecycle of your application.

  • Hardware integration
  • Software integration
  • Data integration
  • SCADA, MES, and OPC
  • Retrofit solutions

Service

Calibrate. Validate. Optimize.

Sensors, data, and processes must work together seamlessly to deliver real added value. We integrate Process Analytical Technology solutions into both existing and new plants and digital system landscapes. This lays the foundation for reliable process data and well-informed decisions.

  • Calibration
  • Chemometrics & modeling
  • Model validation
  • Testing & development services
  • Retrofit services
  • Lifecycle management

Your benefits with Glatt

  • Quickly from concept to implementation

    Identify the right applications and make informed investment decisions

  • Everything from a single source

    Consulting, integration, and service ensure efficient projects and streamlined coordination

  • In-depth understanding of processes and equipment

    Benefit from our 70 years of expertise in process development, scale-up, and industrial production

  • Scalable all the way to production

    PAT solutions from the initial trial through to a fully integrated production application

  • Integration instead of siloed solutions

    Combining sensors, data, and systems into a fully functional, integrated solution

With our holistic approach, we develop Process Analytical Technology solutions that support pharmaceutical development not only from a technical perspective but also in a well-rounded way: We help you identify relevant Process Analytical Technology use cases, develop the appropriate measurement and data strategy, integrate systems into plant and IT landscapes, and validate the resulting models and applications. In this way, individual measurement data is transformed into reliable process knowledge – and Process Analytical Technology becomes a tangible source of added value for quality, process understanding, and production.

GlattVision

Real-time particle analysis tool for smarter process decisions

GlattVision is our real-time particle analysis tool, transforming particle analysis from an offline quality control method into a continuous, non-invasive process monitoring solution. By combining AI-powered image analysis with high-speed imaging technology, it provides real-time insights into particle size, size distribution, growth, and shape directly during production.

This enables manufacturers to monitor pellet formation and coating processes continuously, detect deviations earlier, and make informed process decisions without interrupting production.
