On May 9–12, 2023, the 35th Control international trade expo for quality assurance will welcome innovations in the domains of vision systems, image processing, and sensor technology, as well as measuring and test technology, to Stuttgart. Modern software, inline inspection procedures, and AI-assisted systems are hot topics right now.
Just a few weeks remain till the Control international trade expo for quality assurance (QA). Industry participants are excited about one-on-one encounters in Stuttgart. For Schneider Messtechnik of Bad Kreuznach, Germany, it is the most significant trade show of the year. “Control has developed into a dependable fixture on the calendar of trade shows for the whole metrology industry. Since the very beginning, Schneider Messtechnik has participated as an exhibitor, and we have been able to follow Control without interruption all the way up to the 35th event this year at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre. According to Schneider Messtechnik’s chief marketing officer, Uwe J. Keller, it is and always has been the company’s most significant trade show.
“We particularly admire Control’s high concentration of experienced visitors, who attend the show with specific projects in mind and engage in conversations with the exhibitors. We also salute Control’s growth into the premier trade show for quality control.
Trend: Easy to Operate Machines and Automation
Making measuring instruments incredibly user-friendly and intuitive is one of the most significant contemporary technological advancements in quality assurance. Software for measurement is given special consideration because it should offer the best support to the operator. To do this, Schneider Messtechnik created its own software that satisfies the demands of the market today. Another trend is automation. Users can connect their CNC measurement equipment to partial or complete automation systems thanks to the specific machine series that Schneider Messtechnik has designed for this task. Both of these trends are a reflection of the current state of the labor market: on the one hand, an increasing number of people must be able to use and operate measuring devices, and on the other, automated procedures must be used to make up for the existing staffing shortage.
Trend: Deep Learning for Classification Tasks
Current QA practices aid in addressing production issues like resource conservation, sustainability, and efficiency. To ensure effective operations, information must be provided regarding the state of every link in the process chain. To do this, dependable quality assurance is necessary. According to Markus Riedi, CEO of Opto GmbH, predictive maintenance has developed into a significant criterion for improving the effectiveness of quality assurance. Big data analyses of manufacturing procedures and feedback to intelligent production control, according to Riedi, will be able to sustainably lower energy use and raise product quality. He believes that the automation of quality processes and the growing importance of deep learning for categorization jobs are key to the future of QA. The Opto CEO predicts that data will show in a few years that results from AI-assisted measurement and testing systems far beat those from DIN-based techniques. His business will deliver Solino image modules, inline, process-capable sensors, to Stuttgart from Gräfelfing, Germany. Riedi says, “Control has been our main trade fair for years. “During the exhibition, we display new products, update all of our dealers, and present ourselves as a cutting-edge business for microscope automation jobs. Control is a goal that we strive for throughout the entire year as we develop new products.
Trend: Complete Closed-Loops and Robot-Based Measurements
Control’s international orientation and its thorough presentation of the whole industry, from calipers to universal measuring devices, is highly recognized by exhibitors and expert visitors alike. The time-tested, practice-oriented trade fair idea, convenient accessibility, and the consistency of Control’s content make it a set date in the trade fair calendars of many firms. Control is a significant event in the field of quality assurance at both the European and international levels, as the Metrologic Group has also verified. Technical conversations and the beginning of new business are supported by personal meetings of all concerned parties. Control project manager Fabian Krüger cites virtualization, automation, robots, and digital twin technologies as trends and current industry issues. This year, Factory 4.0 will be integrated with entire testing circuits, including data flow management, cutting-edge programming options, and robot-based measurements. These contemporary measuring techniques guarantee improved precision, increased output, and fewer defective parts. This offers great assistance to industrial organizations in reducing scrap and raw material waste.
Four Full Halls, High Levels of Internationalism
“We’re looking forward to four halls (3, 5, 7, and 9) full of intriguing innovations in the domains of quality inspection and quality assurance, together with all of the exhibitors and expert guests,” says Bettina Schall, general director of trade fair organizers P. E. Schall. We anticipate having many participants from countries other than Germany. The exhibitor advisory board, on behalf of our exhibitors, has once more praised the high degree of internationalism and emphasized the importance of Control on a worldwide scale. The trade show has been and will continue to be an industry high point for a topic-focused, action-oriented industry, making it a very useful business platform. We are excited to welcome all exhibitors and visitors to the 35th Control in Stuttgart from May 9–12, 2023.
