What Does FAT Mean and Why Is It Important for Customer Satisfaction?

Share this news

When we talk about customer satisfaction in the industrial sector, there is one element that plays a crucial role in the success of any project: the FAT, or Factory Acceptance Test. But what exactly is the FAT, and why is it so important?


The Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) is a critical phase in the development of our packaging solutions. It involves a thorough test conducted at our facilities, where the customer has the opportunity to verify that the machinery we have designed and manufactured meets the agreed-upon requirements before it is shipped to its final destination. This test is the last line of control before delivery, and its main objective is to ensure that everything functions perfectly, as expected.



In the context of our machines, the FAT allows for the evaluation of their real-world performance, checking their operation under the specific conditions of the customer’s use and making necessary adjustments in real-time. It’s a process where our engineers work closely with the customer’s technical teams, enabling direct collaboration that improves mutual understanding and ensures every technical detail is meticulously reviewed.


Although there may sometimes be geographical distance involved, the client’s presence at our factory during the FAT becomes even more valuable when the final destination is remote. This visit not only helps to anticipate and correct potential issues before the on-site installation, but also establishes a closer relationship between the client and the INDUSER team. Through this direct interaction, not only is the product quality ensured, but trust is strengthened, and a long-term collaborative relationship is built.



At INDUSER, we consider the FAT not just a quality assurance practice, but a fundamental step that enhances the value of our service. For us, it is crucial to involve our customers in this process because we believe that their satisfaction begins long before the machine reaches their facilities. The FAT is a powerful tool to deliver on our promise of quality and to ensure that every project we undertake is delivered with the utmost precision and confidence.
