Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) have become increasingly important with the establishment of the quality-by-design paradigm in industrial processes, particularly where batch operation is standard. PAT plays an instrumental role in advancing process understanding and operational efficiency, while strengthening safety and reliability to ensure consistent on-spec product quality and minimize environmental impact. Empirical methods based on latent variables, often referred to as chemometric methods, are a main component of PAT. When used alongside Batch Multivariate Statistical Process Control (BMSPC), these methods enable the timely detection and diagnosis of process upsets. Furthermore, process understanding can be improved by applying Latent Variable Models (LVMs), such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares (PLS), particularly relevant in batch processes, where the inherent complexity of the model results in a high degree of uncertainty in the operation.
