11 What Is PAT Expected To Achieve Fast development of processing Optimization of product processing Condition monitoring / fault diagnostics Know if something deviates from normal Check correctness of each unit operation Support for the use of Advanced Process Control Fast Release of product Mission statement - Maximize the value and knowledge starting from the early design and development stage 4. Steve Hammond, Sonja Sekulic, Fast Release and Continuous Processing: A Vision of the Future, Going Continuous - Advanced PAT and Real Time Release, Graz, Austria, September 16th,

12 PCMM OSD PAT and Product Diversion Diversion 1 Post Fluid Bed Drying PAT 1 (NIR) Post CMT Potency & Blend Uniformity PAT 5 (NIR) Feed Frame Potency & Blend/Granule Uniformity Combi Tester Weight Hardness Thickness PAT 3 (NIR) Post Granule Sizing Potency & Granule Uniformity, Moisture PAT 4 (FBRM) Post Granule Sizing PSD PAT 2 (NIR) Post TSWG Granule Formation Diversion 3 Tablet Eject Chute Continuous Mixing & Direct Compression Diversion 2 Post Granule Sizing ConsiGma TM WG
