How can quality data be traced throughout the entire production process?

The iba system enables time-synchronous and product-related acquisition of quality-relevant process data across all production stages. ibaPDA continuously records raw data from controllers, sensors, and drive systems and stores it long term in ibaHD-Server. This allows quality parameters to be assigned clearly to specific products, batches, or production periods at any time. The result is complete traceability and reliable quality verification.

How can quality KPIs be calculated from high-resolution raw data?

Reliable quality evaluation requires KPIs to be derived directly from high-resolution process data. With ibaAnalyzer, application-specific KPIs can be calculated and analyzed flexibly based on raw data. Time- or length-related quality data can be correlated with production parameters. This enables precise evaluation of product quality and process stability.

How does a centralized data platform support quality assurance and certification?

Audits and certifications require quality data to remain available and fully traceable over long periods. The iba system provides a central platform for long-term storage of high-resolution measurement data with ibaHD-Server. Using ibaDatCoordinator and the reporting functions of ibaAnalyzer, automated quality reports can be generated. This ensures consistent and reproducible quality documentation.

How can quality deviations be correlated with process parameters?

Quality issues are often caused by complex interactions between process parameters and machine conditions. With ibaPDA, all relevant process signals are acquired synchronously and analyzed together. In ibaAnalyzer, quality data can be correlated directly with temperatures, speeds, vibrations, or control values. This enables precise identification of root causes and supports targeted optimization measures.

How does drill-down to raw data enable detailed quality analysis?

Aggregated KPIs alone are often insufficient to fully understand complex quality issues. With ibaDaVIS and ibaAnalyzer, users can access the underlying raw data directly from dashboards or KPI views. This allows critical events to be analyzed in detail down to signal level. As a result, root cause analysis is improved and process and quality optimization strategies become more effective.
