The iba System
Autonomous, modular, scalable
The iba system for process data acquisition and analysis consists of perfectly-adjusted hardware and software components for acquiring, recording, analyzing and processing measurement data. Due to the modular design and simple configuration, the iba system can be adapted comfortably to various tasks and is scalable at any time.
Experts in Measurement Systems
for Industry and Energy
It is our mission to bring transparency to the world of industrial production as well as to power generation and energy distribution plants. Using an iba system, you can be sure that your plants and machines are captured 360° and that every single process can be seamlessly recorded and made visible 24/7.
The iba System
Our data acquisition systems and software solutions for
measuring, monitoring and analyzing machine, production,
and energy plants are scalable and can be perfectly extended
at any time. They can not only grow along with increasing
requirements but are also compatible with all common
industrial control systems.
Process Monitoring
Automated real-time monitoring of processes, machines, and plants is based on acquired measurement data, calculated characteristic values and camera images. In addition to simple monitoring of signals for exceeding limits in ibaPDA, more complex characteristic values can also be calculated with ibaInSpectra and ibaInCycle, thus enabling process deviations and anomalies to be detected in real-time. With ibaVision, real-time image processing is possible based on camera images captured with ibaCapture.
Monitoring of vibration signals
With ibaInSpectra, vibration signals are continuously processed in real-time. Spectral analyses can be used to monitor vibrations online and correlate them with other process data. If vibrations reach critical states, alarms can be issued immediately in numerous different ways. In addition, feedback into the plant control system is possible in order to automatically adjust the corresponding parameters and thus optimize processes and increase product quality.
Monitoring of process changes
ibaInCycle monitors all kinds of cyclic and rotating processes as well as quasi-cyclic, regularly executed process steps without additional sensor technology. Based on the acquired process signals, ibaInCycle detects changes in the process
behavior – in particular, deviations that occur slowly due to wear on machines, as well as anomalies (sporadic changes) in the process. The analysis of the measurement data is performed in the time domain. The core of the method
is the temporal normalization and the comparability of
similar processes with Time Synchronous Averaging (TSA).
ibaInCycle lets you take action ahead of time to prevent damage and safeguard your production quality. Thanks to comprehensive detection and online analysis of
the process, the impact on product quality and machine condition can be reliably predicted. This helps to avoid production downtime, increase plant availability, ensure
production quality and, last but not least, reduce maintenance costs.
Monitoring with ibaVision
If the process behavior is recorded with cameras and ibaCapture, your process can also be monitored camera-based. With ibaVision, information can be extracted directly from camera images by means of industrial image processing. The results of image processing are recorded in ibaPDA and monitored for possible exceeding of limit values. A perfect solution for measuring tasks for which sensor technology is either not available or cannot be integrated economically.
