Democratization of data with ibaDaVIS

The Technology

The central component of the data acquisition in the plant is the versatile measuring software ibaPDA (Process Data Acquisition). To be able to compare the respective process steps of the different plants better, 10 to 15 standard signals were defined in advance, which were recorded and calculated in the iba system. For a more precise evaluation of the recorded measurement data, the strip steel producer uses ibaAnalyzer, for the automated management of the same ibaDatCoordinatior. Messages on the plant conditions are automatically transmitted to the operator or maintenance staff. Thanks to the precise recording and the clear visualization with ibaDaVIS, improvement measures can be derived directly from the collected data and thus rapid optimizations can be achieved. The relevant data is easily and quickly accessible for application engineers, foremen, supervisors and employees from the laboratory. More than 100 users are currently working with the system. In addition, the strip steel producer uses ibaDaVIS to access digitally stored protocols, for example to provide reports for the calibration verification of measuring instruments during audit appointments. Thanks to the results achieved, it is planned to implement the iba system even further in the plant in the future.
