What is the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)?

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): A validation process conducted before equipment is shipped to ensure it meets design specifications and operational requirements. FAT is critical in manufacturing to verify system functionality and prevent costly errors during production deployment.
