How can production be optimized with product-related data acquisition?

The iba system enables process data to be assigned to specific products or batches and recorded synchronously over time. ibaPDA continuously captures signals from controllers, sensors, drives, and fieldbus systems. This allows deviations between different production runs to be compared directly and root causes of quality or efficiency losses to be analyzed precisely. The resulting data provides a reliable basis for continuous process optimization.

How can product-specific KPIs be calculated and used for quality evaluation?

Product-specific KPIs enable detailed evaluation of quality, energy consumption, and process stability. With ibaPDA and ibaAnalyzer, measurement data can be recorded event- or product-triggered and evaluated automatically. KPIs such as energy consumption, cycle times, or quality parameters can be linked directly to individual products. This enables data-driven production approvals and early detection of quality deviations.

How does high-resolution process data acquisition help identify bottlenecks?

Short-term disturbances or delays often remain undetected in production systems, even though they significantly impact overall performance. With ibaPDA, high-resolution raw data from all relevant process areas can be recorded continuously. Analysis in ibaAnalyzer makes it possible to pinpoint bottlenecks, cycle deviations, or inefficient workflows precisely. This enables targeted optimization measures to increase productivity.

How can production data improve energy and resource efficiency?

Combining production, process, and energy data enables detailed analysis of resource consumption. The iba system records energy usage synchronously with production states and product data. This makes inefficient operating conditions, load peaks, and unnecessary energy losses transparent. Based on these insights, processes can be optimized and operating costs can be sustainably reduced.

How does a centralized data platform support quality assurance in production?

Reliable quality assurance requires process data to remain available and traceable over long periods. With ibaHD-Server, high-resolution raw data can be stored centrally and archived long term. ibaAnalyzer enables detailed comparisons between products, batches, or production periods. This allows quality deviations to be analyzed reproducibly and documentation for audits or customer requirements to be provided efficiently.
