Statement from Böhme & Weihs on the Control Expert Days 2026

“Control is still the world’s leading trade fair for quality today – and quality has become a decisive competitive and success factor. In industrial production, it has long been about more than just meeting standards: It is about understanding processes, using data and making knowledge available.

That is why we are not developing quality management as an isolated discipline, but as part of a networked whole. We combine quality management (CAQ), production control (MES) and energy monitoring in a central control system for the digital store floor. This makes quality an active driver for efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness.

Artificial intelligence and sustainability are part of our everyday practice. AI-supported assistance systems are already supporting root cause analysis and knowledge assurance in quality assurance. At the same time, the integration of energy, emissions and production data shows how digital manufacturing is becoming the engine of sustainable value creation.

The Control Expert Days offer the ideal framework for contributing our perspectives to the discussion and gaining new impetus from the industry: How can quality be rethought in an increasingly digital manufacturing world – networked, intelligent and practical? We are looking forward to seeing how this high-caliber format establishes itself and are delighted to be part of it.

Quality that creates the future – on a store floor that thinks for itself. Let’s talk about it!”
