About iba America
iba America, LLC is the US subsidiary of iba AG (Fürth, Germany) and has been serving industrial automation providers, OEMs and end users in the USA, Canada and Mexico since 1997. The company sells and supports the iba systems for data acquisition, process analysis and analysis of machines, production and energy plants, consisting of measurement hardware such as the modular measurement system ibaMAQS as well as software products such as ibaPDA, ibaHD-Server, ibaAnalyzer, ibaDatCoordinator, ibaDaVIS, ibaCapture and ibaInSpectra. The systems acquire process and machine data in real time and at high temporal resolution, synchronize measurement and video data (including thermography integration) and break down data silos by storing all data centrally. Application areas include process monitoring, condition monitoring, PLC analysis, quality control, long-term analysis as well as power and process monitoring in industries such as mechanical and plant engineering, the steel industry and energy supply. In addition, iba America offers training and workshops on site or at the office in Alpharetta, Georgia. Headquarters are in Alpharetta, GA; the parent company iba AG is located in Fürth, Germany.
