Democratization of data with ibaDaVIS

Data acquisition and visualization in a rolling mill with ibaPDA and ibaDaVIS

A strip steel producer based in Germany uses ibaDaVIS to overview and evaluate data over the long term. This allows problems that arise to be solved more quickly and thus to start completely new evaluation approaches proactively. Initially used in one rolling mill, the iba system has been rolled out more and more, and currently about half of the plants in the mill are equipped with measurement technology from iba. The continuous data acquisition enables the steel producer to analyze the individual process steps of the manufactured products with ibaAnalyzer and thus to calculate meaningful quality parameters (Key Performance Indicators, KPIs), which are used to compare the plants and to analyze the production - a big step towards Industry 4.0. In this way, optimization potentials can be quickly identified and implemented. In particular, scrap quantities can be sustainably reduced through precise allocation. This improves the CO2 balance of production and helps save money. It also facilitates the work of commissioning engineers and application technicians when ramping up new plants and introducing new products. In addition, thanks to ibaDaVIS, all users can access the data quickly and easily. The right way to the democratization of data.

Business Benefits

Energy savings
and improvement of the CO2 balance through allocation of scrap quantities

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.


"The insights with ibaDaVIS on the process values and signals for trend and outlier analysis is only the first step. Quickly, completely new insights and thus potentials to processes are recognized on the same data."
