What is Process Analytics (PAT)?

Process analytics refers to the use of measurement technology for continuous or discontinuous monitoring and control of industrial processes — directly in the process (inline), near the process (online/atline) or in the laboratory (offline).

Who is the Analytic Journal for?

For engineers, process technologists, laboratory managers and decision-makers in process-intensive industries who need technically sound and manufacturer-independent information on process analytics.

Is access free of charge?

Yes. All technical articles, the knowledge database and the interactive tools are freely accessible.

How is the portal financed?

Through partnerships with manufacturers and system suppliers in the PAT sector — in clearly labeled formats, without editorial influence.

In which languages is content published?

All core content is published in German and English (DE/EN).

How can a company become a partner?

04 — What problem does the Analytic Journal solve?

What problem does the Analytic Journal solve?

Manufacturer information is biased

Objective technology evaluation is missing from the market.

General trade media are too superficial

PAT is not covered with the required technical depth.

Academic sources are not practice-oriented

The transfer to industrial application is missing.

The Analytic Journal builds the bridge between technology and practice — technically precise, application-oriented, independent of manufacturers.

05 — What does the portal offer?

What does the portal offer?

Technical Articles

In-depth content on measurement principles, methods, standards and applications

Technology Comparisons

Structured comparisons (e.g. NIR vs. Raman, Inline vs. Atline)

Knowledge Database

Definitions, method descriptions, glossary — structured for machine readability

PAT Configurator

Measurement principle selection by process and target variable
