The Control Expert Days, which supplement the trade fair, also provide the industry with significant added value, making quality assurance a tangible strategic priority for the future. A statement from Markus K\u00f6ntker, head of marketing at Babtec Informationssysteme.  <\/em><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;110877&#8243;]For many years now, Control has carried special significance for Babtec. It\u2019s the central hub where the quality community comes together to exchange ideas in a practical, international context with a clear focus on industrial quality assurance. In particular for us as a supplier of software solutions for quality management and requirements for integrated management systems, direct contact with users, decision-makers and partners is extremely valuable. Control highlights the key challenges currently faced by manufacturers, ranging from more efficient processes and regulatory compliance to the intelligent use of data through new technologies.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;195366&#8243;]In-Depth Technical Expertise and Practical Solutions[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;126661&#8243;]We especially value Control\u2019s high levels of technical depth: it doesn\u2019t focus on superficial trends, but rather on concrete solutions to real challenges faced in day-to-day business life. The meetings are highly focused, because visitors usually arrive with specific questions: How can I effectively fulfil my customer\u2019s requirements? How can I use my quality data to detect defects earlier in the manufacturing process? How can I streamline my complaints handling process? How can we ensure consistent transparency throughout the supply chain? These are precisely the issues addressed by modern quality management solutions.     <\/p>\n<p>From our perspective, Control 2027 will be characterised predominantly by topics such as artificial intelligence, data-driven quality management, automation, sustainability and networked supply chains. AI will play a key role in this regard \u2013 not as a replacement for skilled quality assurance personnel, but rather for support and as a virtual quality expert in routine daily operations. It speeds up the organisation of information, helps to identify patterns in data, facilitates root cause analysis and enables the formulation of more effectively targeted corrective measures. However, technical assessment by skilled personnel remains absolutely essential.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;135791&#8243;]QA Enhances Economic Efficiency, Resilience and Competitiveness[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;482197&#8243;]Quality has long since moved beyond simply checking for errors at the end of a process. It\u2019s a key driver of economic efficiency, resilience and competitiveness. Ensuring quality at an early stage reduces scrap, rework, customer complaints and supply chain risks. In this regard, quality assurance makes an important contribution to the future viability of industrial manufacturing. It\u2019s also crucial to focus on business processes and organisational requirements. Enormous competitive advantages arise for companies that effectively improve not only product quality, but rather the quality of processes and management as well.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;134058&#8243;]Digitalisation as a Prerequisite for Effective Quality Management[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;797295&#8243;]We also recognise the challenges: many companies are still using isolated systems, inconsistent data structures and manual processes. This is compounded by a shortage of skilled personnel, rising cost pressure and ever-stricter regulatory requirements. The challenge lies in not viewing digitalisation simply as an additional task, but as a prerequisite for effective, future-proof quality management.  <\/p>\n<p>Against this background, we regard the Control Expert Days as a very useful addition to the leading trade fair. The compact format provides scope for in-depth professional discussion, concrete practical examples and efficient networking. As a result, the format is much more personal and offers genuine added value for visitors \u2013 not least of all because they can ask questions after the talks and engage in a direct exchange of ideas. Accordingly, the main benefit lies in gaining relevant insights quickly and discussing current developments with experts. And thus the Expert Days reinforce precisely what sets Control apart as a whole: making quality assurance transparent and tangible as a strategic priority for the future.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Control is of particular importance to Babtec Informationssysteme as a supplier of quality management software solutions, because it serves as a pivotal platform for the quality community.
