The competitiveness of all processing industries – from (petro)-chemicals over pharmaceuticals to foods & feeds - greatly depends on its ability to deliver consistent, high-quality and high-value products at competitive prices, in a sustainable way.
Data, Data Analytics and Process Analytical Technology are becoming the cornerstones for any global, competitive industry, and process analytical techniques are an essential tool in this future. With this in mind EuroPACT 2023 focusses on featuring innovation along the following three pillars:
The three pillars will be complemented by a special focus on PACT for energy efficiency and circular economy applications. The conference will be completed by an exhibition of instrumentation, applications and data evaluation tools.
EuroPACT 2023 provides a unique meeting and a discussion forum for researchers, suppliers and users of process analytics from both academia and industry. The conference program will include plenary and invited lectures and plenty of opportunity for discussion with colleagues during poster sessions, speed dating and discussion rounds.
You are cordially invited to contribute to the scientific programme with a last minute poster.
Deadline for the last minute poster is 31 March 2023.
If you wish to submit a last minute poster after the deadline - just let us know.
The submission is possible upon capacity.

Announcement
EuroPACT 2023 provides a unique meeting and a discussion forum for researchers, suppliers and users of process analytics from both academia and industry.
During the EuroPACT discussion rounds, we will make a deep dive into two of the following five topics for 45 min each in parallel to the poster session.
The two topics will be selected by the scientific committee according to the respective votes from all participants during the registration process.
1. Circularity economy with PAT – Discussing new measurement tasks
Production steps in the circular economy enabled through PAT sensors is an important topic for the future. The discussion is targeting for measurement tasks contributing for sustainable production in the future. Zero CO2, ecological footprint along the value chain and future contributions for environmental impact and circular economy are contents to be discussed.
2. PAT improving Energy Efficiency – Discussing new measurement tasks delivering added value
Improving the energy efficiency of production processes is crucial for the future competitiveness of all processing industries – from (petro)-chemicals over pharmaceuticals to foods & feeds. The discussion is targeting for PAT applications contributing for lower energy consumption in the future.
3. Miniaturization@PAT – Discussing new measurement technologies
Miniaturization of sensor technology is a future trend which can be observed. Discussing new potential measurement tasks for miniaturized PAT sensor technologies delivering added value for the industry should be executed in this session.
4. PAT vitality Data – a concept to use vitality data for changing reactive maintenance to predictive maintenance?
The content of the PAT@NOA (NOA = NAMUR OPEN Architecture) concept is an automated provision of PAT vitality data as base for predictive maintenance and better process understanding. To achieve that, an intelligent maintenance demand signal for PAT equipment based on vitality data is key. Automated real time condition monitoring of analytical field equipment leads to cheaper operation and maintenance of PAT equipment and less failures. By this the huge potential for cost savings can be leveraged and process understanding is improved.
5. AI@PAT – can Artificial Intelligence contribute to a better process understanding
Using PAT vitality and raw data is contributing to a game change from reactive maintenance to condition monitoring based predictive maintenance. In addition, the combination of vitality data of sensors being in a contextual relation in a process may contribute to a next level of process understanding and automated process control. This discussion shall create ideas how to clarify this with future lighthouse projects.
Interested participants are invited to join EuroPACT's pre conference course on fundamentals for process analytics in industrial applications and model lifecycling in the field.
The course will be held by leading industry experts.
The course "fundamentals on PAT in industrial applications" will cover
-PAT project management - from measurement task to business case
-Sampling and sample handling systems
-Instrumental design in industrial use
The course "model life cycling in the field" will cover
-Chemometics in the age of artificial intelligence
-Model deployment and maintenence
-Data driven optimization of and with PAT
