Cleanliness of components and processes has been established as a quality criterion in many industries for years. Customers are increasingly expecting higher standards: for example, delivered components should be degreased, cleaned, and partially sterile, ideally arriving safely and cleanly packaged.

Especially in the automotive and supplier industry, current quality guidelines VDA 19 are consistently followed and documented.

The increasing complexity of processes and the integration of manufacturers and suppliers accordingly change the required measures. This is reflected in the adaptation and expansion of the VDA guidelines, which were revised at the end of 2014.

To achieve defined cleanliness specifications, companies invest in various ways. Whether through additional personnel deployment in cleaning processes or through appropriately used technologies. Furthermore, there are increasingly integrated cleaning techniques in machines and automated systems, as well as downstream analysis methods, to make the industrial manufacturing process ever cleaner — up to production in cleanrooms.

But what is important? Which method is best suited for whom? What effort corresponds to which result?

Answers to these questions are provided by the quality forum organized by BECKER Cleanroom Technology, CleanRoomNet, and "saar.is": "Technical Cleanliness in Vehicle Construction and Industry" on May 7, 2015, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM near Saarbrücken. Further information about the program and venue, as well as a registration form, can be found at www.becker-reinraumtechnik.de.

The event showcases current trends and technologies and informs about changes to the VDA 19 guidelines. Additionally, practitioners will share which methods and procedures they successfully use and what experiences they have gained during implementation and execution.

The expert speakers come from industry and will discuss:

QUALITY - Innovations in the revised VDA 19 and selection of suitable testing procedures

CLEANING - How are contaminants avoided or minimized? How can parts be cleaned during a workflow? Which technical tools or solutions have been tested?

ANALYZING - What options are available for analyzing components for residual dirt, what formats are possible, and what pre- and post-processing systems exist? How can these be integrated into the process, and what improvement potentials do they offer?

ENVIRONMENT - What environmental conditions should be targeted in each production process? What criteria influence a manufacturing company's decision to choose a cleanroom or sterile environment?

PRACTICE REPORTS – Two companies share their experiences with quality systems and technologies.

Interested parties can still register for this event until May 4, 2015
