Control 2025 is getting ready to take off. From May 6 to 9, 2025, suppliers and users of solutions for the quality of a product, process or service will come together. The trade fair company P. E. Schall is planning the international trade fair for quality assurance, which will present various types of measurement technology and cross-industry relevance, in the four halls 3, 5, 7 and 9 of the Stuttgart exhibition center. The range of topics covers the areas of vision, image processing, sensor technology and measuring and testing technology, including state-of-the-art software and evaluation technology. As the most important industry event, Control traditionally focuses on quality, relevance and a high level of expertise. Around 35 percent of exhibitors will be coming from abroad.

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are an important technology trend in quality assurance. This year, exhibitors, trade visitors and guests will experience the first edition of a new event format as part of the trade fair program - the Control Quality Talk 2025. Under the heading “AI in QA - Will the future be error-free? AI as a turbo for profitability and efficiency”, a panel of renowned experts will talk about AI in quality assurance. They will discuss which AI systems already exist, which are already being used in the industry and what concrete effects they have in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. They will also explain the extent to which future AI systems will pave the way for error-free products and processes as part of full automation and simplify QA. Ira Effenberger, Head of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision Research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA, Dr.-Ing. Ralf Christoph, Managing Director and owner of Werth Messtechnik, Florian Schwarz, CEO CAQ AG Factory Systems, and Dr. Christian Wojek, Head of AI, Zeiss IQS. All industry participants are cordially invited to follow the discussion on the first day of the trade fair from 2.30 p.m. in Hall 7-7115.

QA measures are essential for companies and determine their future. Especially in times of difficult economic conditions, the importance of modern QA solutions is high. This is why Control is one of the trade fair highlights of the year for many companies. In all industries, it is currently more important than ever to use the advantages of digitalization, networking and intelligent evaluation of information and to implement them within daily QA processes. This is because, in addition to the opportunities for increasing efficiency in production, intelligent QA also significantly benefits the manufacture of safe products. This means reducing potential error costs and additional work as well as high customer satisfaction, uncovering hidden errors in the value chain, avoiding legal consequences and often also directly preventing danger to life and limb.

QA measures are often an integral part of industrial production workflows. The trend is towards full automation of inspection processes as well. AI systems are increasingly providing support, particularly when it comes to accelerating measurement processes, evaluating measurement data and further automation. Trade visitors to Control traditionally have the opportunity to obtain up-to-date information and make new contacts via a top-class supporting program. This includes the specialist forum with topic-specific and practice-relevant presentations as well as the special show “Contactless Measurement Technology” by the Fraunhofer Vision business unit, which is being held for the 19th time this year.
