Due to the Germany's travel restrictions, attendants will have to present upon entry into the country documents such as negative test results.
Calling Card
As manufacturing continues to incorporate automation and production process grows complicated at an accelerated pace, quality assurance needs to constantly upgrade, evolve and find new ways to uphold quality standards. Control has risen to the top of the food chain as the definitive go-to international trade fair specializing in quality assurance tools and services. Each year in early May, Control arrives at Messe Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany for a dynamic program that lasts a total of four days. Control serves as a chief meeting point for exhibitors and buyers. As a procurement platform it has no rival in Europe and has a global appeal. What’s more, the trade fair keeps its sight on the future and it’s here new innovations see the light of day first!
Business Profile
Quality assurance is a big field with a lot of sectors. Control unites all QS-relevant technologies, products, subsystems and complete solutions under one roof. This means both exhibitors and trade visitors have a comprehensive view of the entire industry. Exhibition halls are dedicated to every product category - software, materials testing devices, modules for measuring, special equipment, analytical apparatus, QA systems, optoelectronics, length and angle measuring devices. Brands at Control are numerous and you’ll encounter names such as AYONIS, Bowers Group, EXTEND3D, DDO Coating and Beijing Magnetic-Flux Equipment Manufacturing. Naturally, Control lies at the heart of the QA industry in Europe and most buyers come from the European Union, though there is interest from Asian markets such as China and Thailand. Purchasing is a main object for trade visitors and exhibitors enjoy excellent sales numbers.
Did You Know?
A reason why Control carries so much weight in the industry has to do with the patronage and full involvement from organisations such as the Fraunhofer Vision Alliance and the European Machine Vision Association. The EMVA, in particular, spearheads one of the most important forums at the fair – Control Vision Talks. The main goal for papers and presentations is to reveal the potential of machine vision and optical metrology solutions where factory automation is concerned. There’s a lot of theory and information, but also presentations with a more practical goal in mind. Another highlight has to be the series of DGQ workshops, which offer practical knowledge!

Past Editions
2022
Control 2022 took place as a live event between 03.05.2022 and 06.05.2022 at Messe Stuttgart, amidst the absence of Covid-19 safety measures.

Furthermore, it received 617 exhibitors.
