Control 2023: The industry highlight for quality assurance
Control 2023, the international trade fair for quality assurance, is now entering the home stretch. From May 9 to 12, 2023, the focus in Stuttgart will be on vision technology, image processing, sensor technology, and measuring and testing technology across all industries. The business platform with the character of a leading global trade fair will showcase new technologies and expanded fields of application.
The Control is one of the important, large and international trade fairs on the subject of quality assurance (QA) and will take place for the 35th time this year. "We're pleased that more registrations have already been received now than at the same time in 2022," reported project manager Fabian Krüger from trade fair promoter P. E. Schall at the beginning of February. "At almost 37 percent, the foreign share of exhibitors is also now already higher than the foreign share in 2022," informed the project manager. "One can be excited and curious about the innovations in quality inspection and quality assurance presented in the four halls 3, 5, 7 and 9," promises Krüger. The reason: The technologies for measuring and testing are developing rapidly. On the one hand, because new fields of application are opening up, and on the other, because growing automation continues to be a strong driver. Control 2023 should once again live up to the show's reputation as the leading meeting place in quality assurance. "It is so unique in the world market because it represents different types of measurement technology and is therefore relevant across all industries," explains Krüger.
Control 2023 as a fixed point in the annual calendar
For many companies, it is not only relevant, but indispensable. "Control has become a fixed date in the trade fair calendar for the entire measurement technology industry. Schneider Messtechnik has been an exhibitor from the very beginning, and we were allowed and able to accompany Control without interruption until this year's 35th event at the Stuttgart exhibition center. It is and was our most important trade fair in the annual calendar," states Uwe J. Keller, Division Manager Marketing at Schneider Messtechnik. "At Control, we particularly appreciate the high density of trade visitors who visit the trade fair with concrete projects and seek discussions with the exhibitors," notes Keller, who especially appreciates Control's development into the leading trade fair for quality assurance. QA measures in many industrial and non-industrial sectors have gained unprecedented importance; for example, QA measures help to meet the production challenges of efficiency, resource protection and sustainability. "To be able to map efficient processes, you have to be informed about the current status at every point in the process chain. Reliable quality assurance is essential in order to be able to map this transparently. The fact that resource protection and sustainability are also on board at the end of the process speaks in its favor. Defective parts can be rejected immediately and not fed to the next production step. Energy and production resources are saved," continues Uwe J. Keller. The company emphasizes the increasing importance of modern, practical measuring software, which must be intuitive to use on the one hand and meet the challenges of full automation on the other.
Digital mapping as the basis for forecasts and optimizations
Testing the properties and condition of workpieces and products is essential for production quality. Production-integrated inspection processes, supported by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, have long since become part of everyday production. The digital transformation process, which can be designed with X-ray technology, optical 3D systems, measuring devices for fast tactile measurement, and modern software, for example, is very much in the news. Digital mapping of processes, infrastructure and components has become essential in many areas because virtual worlds are the basis for forecasts and optimization; companies can identify quality problems and their causes more quickly through digitization.
High internationality, direct practical relevance
Condition and process controls are indispensable; every manufacturing company uses, to a greater or lesser extent, measures for form and dimensional inspection, object recognition and position determination, presence checks and completeness checks, component inspections inside and out, and surface inspection. Thus, Control 2023 will showcase many advancements around measurement and inspection technology, materials testing, analytical equipment, vision technology, image processing, sensor technology as well as weighing and counting technology and as well as AI-supported software tools. "We are particularly looking forward to the 35th Control in the spring of 2023," explains Bettina Schall, managing director of trade fair company P. E. Schall. "Both exhibitors and trade visitors appreciate the thematic focus of the industry highlight Control. That makes this trade fair a highly recognized business platform. Present, pragmatic and practice-oriented - that's how Control 2023 will be from May 9 to 12, to which we will extend a very warm welcome to all industry players."
