As the 7th European Conference on Process Analytics and Control Technology (EuroPACT 2026) comes to a close in Lyon, France, Art Fiber Systems (AFS) is reflecting on an incredibly productive and inspiring week. The conference provided an excellent platform to discuss the future of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and demonstrate how AFS is driving the transformation toward real-time process control.
Highlighting Advanced Process Control
A major highlight of the event was a pitch presentation delivered by our CEO, Viacheslav Artyushenko. He showcased how our customized multi-spectral fiber systems are transforming the industry’s approach to process analytics. The latest market trends show a strong shift toward transforming the common way to control fabrication processes in industry by utilizing in-line reaction monitoring, rather than relying on the analysis of several individual samples.
Throughout the event at Booth #11 and Poster #43, our on-site team – including Viacheslav Artyushenko, Martin Warman, and Alain Chardon, Director of ArzhOptics and our dedicated AFS sales representative in France – engaged in deep, high-quality discussions with industry professionals. Today, many end-users of process-spectroscopy are overloaded by too many versions of spectrometers and probes produced by multiple vendors. Our experts were able to demonstrate how AFS GmbH helps clients select an optimal equipment set to monitor their reactions in-line across a broad 0.3-16µm range.
Promising Collaborations Ahead
The strong interest we received from the wider PAT community has been truly inspiring. Our primary mission at AFS is to help end-users in the design of a spectral fiber system or sensor which will enable them to monitor their specific process or reaction in-line using its key spectral features. Ultimately, AFS will save customers time and money on their way to enhance production yield and product quality with reduced manpower.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to DECHEMA for organizing such a dynamic event, and to everyone who visited our booth to discuss their unique analytical challenges. The connections made over the past few days have paved the way for very promising collaborations ahead for AFS.
