Join this webinar to explore the hidden gap between lab testing and process automation, and how leading food manufacturers are closing it with real-time quality data.

Every food manufacturer has a quality control operation. Most have a gap in the middle of it.

Lab reference data is precise, trusted and essential. But it captures a single sample at a single point in time from a process that never stops moving. The variation between samples, the drift that builds across a shift, the batch already packaged before the result comes back: that is where quality risk lives, and periodic sampling alone cannot see it.

The manufacturers closing that gap are not replacing their lab. They are extending it. By combining reference lab measurements with real-time process data, they are building a quality control operation that sees more, responds faster, and gives their lab teams more useful information to work with.

In this panel discussion, Perten’s Wes Shadow (Market Manager), Nadja Eremina (Subject Matter Expert), and Stefan Lundgren (Process NIR Business Development Manager) explore what that combination looks like in practice across food manufacturing. Drawing on real implementation experience, the panel covers how leading facilities are bridging lab and line data, what the transition involves, and what it delivers in quality consistency, reduced rework, and faster response to process variation.

Whether you run a single at-line instrument or are evaluating full process integration, this session will give you a clearer picture of where your quality data strategy could go next

You’ll learn: 

  • A practical understanding of where the quality data gap appears in food manufacturing operations – and why it matters
  • An honest picture of how lab and process measurement work together rather than in competition
  • Real examples of what closing the gap looks like across different production environments
  • Actionable first steps for manufacturers at any stage of the journey, from at-line to full process integration
