2025 Control Quality Talks: Expert Panel Discussion on AI in Quality Assurance

The quality assurance sector will meet at the 37th Control international trade fair for quality assurance in Stuttgart from the 6th through the 9th of May, 2025. Trade fair promoters P. E. Schall will launch a new event forum as part of this year’s supplementary programme – the Control Quality Talks. The event will kick off with an expert panel discussion on “AI in QA – Will the Future be Free of Defects? AI as Turbocharger for Profitability and Efficiency”.

Exhibitors, expert visitors and guests at Control 2025 will experience the debut of a new event forum as part of the trade fair programme – the 2025 Control Quality Talks. A panel discussion with renowned experts will be held addressing the topic of AI in quality assurance in keeping with the motto “AI in QA – Will the Future be Free of Defects? AI as Turbocharger for Profitability and Efficiency”. “We’re very pleased that industry specialists have accepted our invitation to come together for a moderated expert discussion at the presentation forum for roughly one hour on the first day of the trade fair starting at 2:30 p.m.,” announces Fabian Krüger, project manager for Control at trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. Within the framework of the 2025 Control Quality Talks, discussions will be held with the aim of identifying which AI systems already exist today, which are already being used in industry, and which specific results they’re achieving in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. The extent to which future AI systems will simplify QA and pave the way for error-free products and processes within the context of full automation will also be explored.

Panel discussion participants at the 2025 Control Quality Talks include Ira Effenberger, Group Leader at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA, Dr. Ralf Christoph, Managing Director and Proprietor of Werth Messtechnik, Florian Schwarz, CEO at CAQ AG Factory Systems and Dr. Christian Wojek, Head of AI at Zeiss IQS. The discussion will be moderated by Dr.-Ing. Peter Ebert, Editor-in-Chief of trade journal “inVISION”. All industry players are cordially invited to attend the discussion at the forum in hall 7-7115 on the first day of the trade fair. “Will it be possible to achieve error-free production in the future using AI in QA? In which measuring technology applications is AI already in use and which role is being played by synthetic data and generative AI? We’ll discuss all these questions live at the 2025 Control Quality Talks with experts from CAQ, Fraunhofer IPA, Werth and Zeiss,” emphasises Peter Ebert.

Exhibitors, expert visitors and guests will be able to gain extensive background information and further inspiration from this dialogue, because AI is clearly one of the key technology trends in quality assurance. Inspection processes are becoming faster and more efficient, they take place inline and they’re integrated into a diverse range of workflows. AI systems can provide support, in particular with regard to the acceleration of measuring processes, the evaluation of measurement data and increased degrees of automation. “We’ll encounter AI-supported systems within many different contexts at the trade fair,” promises project manager Fabian Krüger. “And considering the extent to which AI is has already penetrated the QA industry, we’re looking forward to the 2025 Control Quality Talks and to many interested visitors.”
