About iba
iba AG, headquartered in Fürth, has been developing systems for process data acquisition, analysis and signal processing for more than 30 years. The portfolio includes scalable software such as ibaPDA, ibaAnalyzer, ibaHD-Server, ibaDatCoordinator, ibaDaVIS and ibaCapture, as well as hardware such as the modular measurement system ibaMAQS for signal acquisition and signal processing. The solutions acquire, monitor and analyze machine, process and energy data in real time and over the long term – for example for process monitoring, condition monitoring with vibration analysis, quality documentation and power and process monitoring. Typical users are maintenance, production, automation and grid operations in industries such as mechanical engineering, plant engineering, the steel and metal industry and energy supply. The system communicates with common industrial control systems and can be expanded at will.
