cluetec Audit at the VDMA Quality Management Conference

The VDMA Quality Management Conference is an important meeting place for specialists and managers from the mechanical and plant engineering sector who want to future-proof their quality management. The focus is on current trends, practical insights and exchange within the industry. The presentation by Mathias Hoffmann from the IWS, who will show how quality management is evolving from a pure documentation approach to intelligent, data-driven assistance, also fits into this context.

Under the title “From QM documentation to intelligent assistance”, Hoffmann will shed light on how modern technologies are fundamentally changing operational quality management. The focus is on automated data collection directly in the process – for example via mobile solutions – and its intelligent evaluation. Instead of simply documenting data, it is analyzed in real time and provides a concrete basis for decision-making. This allows deviations to be detected at an early stage and processes to be continuously improved, which is a decisive advantage, especially in dynamic production environments.

An essential part of the presentation is the use of AI-based evaluations. These make it possible to identify patterns and correlations in large amounts of data and derive specific recommendations for action. Quality management is thus transformed from a reactive control instrument into a proactive management tool. Practical examples from the security industry clearly show how this approach is already working today – and what added value it offers in particularly sensitive and regulated areas.

At the same time, the presentation addresses key challenges that are also repeatedly discussed at the VDMA conference: ensuring high data quality, user acceptance of new digital solutions and compliance with regulatory requirements. The presentation thus fits seamlessly into the overarching themes of the event and provides concrete approaches on how companies can actively shape change in quality management.

Mathias Hoffmann’s presentation is therefore exemplary of what participants can expect at the VDMA conference: well-founded insights, practical solutions and forward-looking impulses for modern quality management.
