Remote FAT: 3 Major Advantages Not to Overlook !

In a world where efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability have become essential, remote FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) stands out as an innovative and advantageous solution.

We usually welcome our clients or their representatives at our production site in Écublens to carry out the FAT, a crucial step aimed at verifying that the delivered equipment fully meets the client’s technical requirements.

However, in 2020, during the height of the health crisis, travel was impossible. We therefore quickly implemented an alternative:

the remote FAT, conducted live.

Since then, this method has proven to be extremely beneficial, offering three major advantages :

💲 Cost reduction : no more need for plane tickets, hotels, or travel expenses.
✈️ Time savings : greater flexibility in scheduling, as everything is done remotely.
🍃 Environmental respect : by limiting travel, the carbon footprint is significantly reduced.

During these virtual FATs, a project manager and an engineer test each machine component in real time. All steps are demonstrated and explained live, with a Q&A session to ensure every detail is clear and validated.

This time, the FAT involved a DCS 1000-2, a packaging machine dedicated to slices of processed cheese. We thank our client for their trust and collaboration.🙏
