Trade fair for quality assurance Control 2023 is in preparation

"In the entire quality assurance industry, Control is known as an indispensable leading trade fair and is one of the most interesting and important trade fairs of all for many companies," knows Fabian Krüger, Control Project Manager. "Quality assurance in the most diverse forms is a decisive component of industrial production and indispensable, so further developments are eagerly awaited." Testing the properties and condition of workpieces and products is just as essential to manufacturing quality as process control. Every manufacturing company, regardless of size, takes measures for form and dimensional inspection, object recognition and position determination, presence checking and completeness testing, component testing inside and out, and surface inspection. Production-integrated inspection processes, supported by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, have long been part of everyday life in modern production. Due to rapid advancements in both technologies and processes, Control in May 2023 is again highly anticipated. Quality inspection and quality assurance have taken on unprecedented importance due to growing automation and digitization, non-contact processes and remote services, small batch sizes, zero-defect manufacturing and comprehensive data analytics. Control gives trade visitors everything they need to score points with excellent QA in manufacturing and successfully face the competition. The industry is working intensively on further developments relating to measuring and testing technology, materials testing, analysis equipment, vision technology, image processing, sensor technology and weighing and counting technology, as well as AI-supported software tools. In this context, the automation of industrial quality assurance itself brings quite a few advantages such as transparency, consistency, cost efficiency and centralized documentation.

The huge subject area of quality assurance is developing rapidly. For example, because measuring, testing and inspection processes are increasingly integrated parts of manufacturing processes rather than taking place in specially created measuring environments, inspection processes must be adapted to harsh production environments - such as dust, vibrations and time pressure. This brings many challenges to measuring machines and test equipment. "In May 2023, the 35th Control will once again bring together the international QA industry in person as a trade fair highlight," states trade fair organizer Bettina Schall, Managing Director of P. E. Schall GmbH & Co. KG. "The industry has huge tasks to tackle. Resource protection and sustainability are necessary, concrete fields of action that affect everyone. That's why companies need pragmatic, solution-oriented presence trade fairs to exchange ideas live and directly. Our Control with direct practical relevance will therefore be the right platform to offer users and those interested in quality assurance cutting-edge, future-proof solutions so that they can compete internationally with excellent QA in manufacturing."
