Project manager Fabian Krüger from trade fair company P. E. Schall can be pleased with a successful Control 2023 trade fair: "The trade fair week was a great success. We experienced four full halls with impressive solutions for quality assurance (QA) and saw many groundbreaking new solutions. It was bustling with activity and a great atmosphere from the very first hour," said the project manager. "589 exhibitors from 32 countries showed on 42,000 square meters of exhibition space that quality assurance is on the direct path to the future."

Control 2023 trade fair: Worldwide unique industry get-together for QA professionals

It was clearly noticeable how the importance and innovative power of QA in production is increasing, according to a conclusion drawn by the trade fair organizers. The special significance of Control, the world's leading trade fair for the manufacturing sector, was once again confirmed by exhibitors and trade visitors this year. The high foreign share among exhibitors of 34.5 percent underscored the high internationality of this industry highlight and proved its status as the world's excellent business meeting place for everything to do with QA topics. "Control is one of our leading trade fairs throughout Europe as far as quality assurance is concerned," confirms Stefan Hug of Faro Europe, responsible for sales in the DACH region. The company's mobile 3D measurement technology for product measurement met with great interest. Dr. Harald Wuest, Co-Founder and CEO at Visometry also confirmed "very many interesting contacts and a very high level of interest from trade visitors." In all halls and at all booths, it was once again evident this year that Control is used as an ideal opportunity to adequately present the latest developments for industrial and non-industrial quality assurance and quality inspection - professionally and technologically at the top level, practice-oriented, user-oriented and in a pleasant working atmosphere.

Automation and visualization increased significantly

"In all areas, we have seen significantly increased and, above all, impressive visualizations," emphasizes project manager Krüger. "Thanks to improved image processing systems and new analysis software, part and object inspection is carried out according to the latest standards. The eye-catchers also included many robots that provide automated support for inspection processes. There has never been so much talk about artificial intelligence (AI) as this year," Krüger noted, "and its benefits for practical use, for example in inspection and quality testing, could be demonstrated and made transparent in many places."

21310 trade visitors to the Control 2023 trade fair experienced the current trend and driver topics of the QA industry - automation, end-to-end digitization, modern software, inline inspection processes and AI-supported systems - in direct visualization and in practical use. Measurement system software is taking on an increasingly important role, as are web and cloud technologies. Also a major topic that is constantly being pursued is inline inspection technology. It saves time and resources, but brings new challenges. This is also confirmed by Wolfgang Zeller, Managing Director of Mitutoyo Germany: "Measurements are increasingly being carried out outside the laboratory, directly in production. Therefore, the demands on the measuring machines are increasing."

Excellent mood among exhibitors

Control 2023 not only connected the virtual world in production with the real world, but also suppliers with users, exhibitors with trade visitors, and manufacturers with customers and partners. "Control as a leading trade show was a complete success for us again this year," confirmed Kai Bartel, Head of Measurement Technology at Klingelnberg. Likewise, Uwe J. Keller, Chief Marketing Officer at Dr. Heinrich Schneider Messtechnik, declared Control "to be the trade show highlight of the year for us." Dr.-Ing. Ralf Christoph, managing director of Werth Messtechnik, was also more than satisfied with Control 2023. "The trade show is quite outstanding!" He expressly praised the trade show organization and emphasized the lively interest of the trade visitors. He is already looking forward to Control 2024 and to the further development of this trend.

"It's no coincidence that Control, as an international trade fair with world-leading character, is one of the most important dates of the year for many companies", states Bettina Schall, Managing Director of trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. "The uniquely lively trade fair activities, the fulminant interest in the top-class supporting events, and the many satisfied voices were once again proof in 2023 that this is where the bundled QA competence meets. Control gets to the heart of the issues and challenges facing the market - cost-effectiveness, quality, safety, resource conservation, efficiency and future viability. This trade fair plays an outstanding role in meeting these challenges. We are delighted about this and would like to thank all exhibitors, visitors and participants very much for their commitment!"

Next Control: 23 - 26 April 2024

After Control is before Control: The international QA industry has long since noted the next date for the exchange of experts in its calendar. Many exhibitors, both national and international, have already booked their booth space for 2024 during Control 2023 in order to present the further developments of future-oriented concepts to the interested public, also increasingly from abroad, at the 36th Control, international trade fair for quality assurance, in Stuttgart from April 23 to 26, 2024.
