Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) video production for RMGroups latest automation assembly for a large UK food manufacturer.
This huge construction is a very complicated piece of engineering. This machine is designed to go through 1200 products per minute, and to sort and arrange, as well as reject unwanted products before they are moved on conveyor belts towards an automated palletising system.
Most video productions are created at the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) stage, as this is the only available time to film capital equipment manufacturing once it has been constructed, and before it has to be deconstructed for shipping to international clients.

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is a critical part of the manufacturing process that ensures that a piece of equipment or machinery meets the client’s specifications before being shipped to the site. This is the process of testing the functionality and performance of a system or equipment in a factory setting to verify that it meets the required specifications and standards. The FAT is performed by the equipment manufacturer, and the client or their representative is typically invited to witness the tests.
The purpose of FAT is to ensure that the equipment or machinery is fully functional and will meet the requirements of the client, as specified in the purchase order. It also ensures that the equipment is safe to use, conforms to the relevant safety standards, and meets the necessary performance standards. The FAT is an essential step in the equipment acquisition process, as it provides an opportunity to verify that the equipment performs as expected before it is shipped to the client’s site.
During the FAT, the manufacturer will conduct a series of tests on the equipment, which may include performance tests, functional tests, safety tests, and environmental tests. The tests are designed to verify that the equipment meets the performance specifications and that it is safe to operate. The manufacturer will also test the equipment under different operating conditions to ensure that it is suitable for use in a variety of environments.
Once the tests are completed, the manufacturer will provide a detailed report to the client, including the results of the tests, any issues that were identified, and the actions taken to address these issues. The client will then have an opportunity to review the report and provide feedback to the manufacturer.
