Control 2022 gets ready for takeoff

As the leading trade fair for measurement technology, Control, the international trade fair for quality assurance (QA), has been an ideal forum for personal contact and business exchange for decades. "The high demand for personal trade fair participation has been unbroken for months on the part of the QA industry", confirms project manager Fabian Krüger from trade fair promoter P. E. Schall GmbH & Co. KG. "All over the world, the industry values Control as an indispensable platform, and is especially anticipating this year's live trade fair after a forced break of two years," says Krüger. "Particularly in these weeks and months, when uncertainty again prevails due to the pandemic, many companies see Control at the beginning of May as a must-attend event," says the project manager, recalling the successful, smooth execution of the attendance trade shows last fall.

QA has never been as important as it is at present

The need for expert discussion on new developments in the QA industry is huge. Many companies are currently introducing enhanced or entirely new QA systems - driven by increasing automation and digitization, more contactless processes, remote services, small batch sizes and zero-defect manufacturing. The need for quality verification of any process, including data analysis and end-to-end traceability, now affects almost all industries from both industrial and service environments. "QA solutions have never been as significant as they are at present," the Control project manager points out. Solutions and systems in measuring and testing technology, materials testing, analysis equipment, vision technology, image processing, sensor technology, and weighing and counting technology have undergone significant further development over the past two years and will find a highly interested trade audience at Control 2022.

High proportion of foreign exhibitors at Control 2022

And the trade public seems to be just waiting to finally be able to visit a trade show live again. Months before the trade fair date, visitors had already asked for tickets, says project manager Fabian Krüger. "Exhibitors and trade visitors finally want to meet in person to discuss QS innovations, because a lot has happened in the past few months." The fact that Control is still considered the world's leading trade show for QS is reflected in the high proportion of foreign exhibitors: around 35 percent come from outside Germany, including Switzerland. 

Advances in automation, digitization, contactless processes, remote services and end-to-end traceability are affecting all industries, now including service sectors. Test technology users use diverse QA solutions inline in networked processes - even contactless. This will be explored in greater depth at the special show "Contactless Metrology" organized by the Fraunhofer Vision Alliance, which will be held for the 17th time at Control 2022. In Hall 6, it will present a cross-section of innovative technologies from the field of non-contact measurement and testing technology.
