The iba system for measurement data acquisition and process analysis
iba AG, headquartered in Fürth, develops and manufactures hardware and software systems for measurement data acquisition, process monitoring and quality analysis in industrial plants. The modular, scalable iba system includes measurement systems such as ibaMAQS, power quality units (ibaPQU-S), data servers (ibaHD-Server) as well as software for real-time monitoring, condition monitoring, vibration and PLC analysis, long-term analysis and quality documentation. Data can be integrated via SQL, cloud, OPC UA and Kafka; camera and video data are recorded synchronously with measurement data using ibaCapture. Core markets are metallurgy (rolling mills, continuous casting), power supply and power grids as well as mechanical and plant engineering and automation technology. Customers include companies such as Novelis, the BILSTEIN Group and FEST. The owner-managed, medium-sized company supplies customers worldwide through its own subsidiaries and representatives.
