HOW IT WORKS

From iba signal capture to validated root causes in three steps

Visplore sits directly on top of your iba HD Server — no data export, no middleware. Your existing iba infrastructure is the foundation for systematic root cause analysis across your entire metalworking operation.

iba integration

Example: Visplore helps identify coil grip failure events during hundreds of coil changes in a rolling process, and a clamping force issue as potential explanation. The changes are extracted and compared automatically, and impact factors are sorted by relevance.

THE CHALLENGE

Troubleshooting shouldn’t take days.

When a KPI turns red in metalworking or metal fabrication, finding the root cause often means manually pulling data, aligning records across events, and relying on individual experts. Visplore provides a structured, guided path from your iba data to validated hypotheses — without days of manual time series analysis.

What Visplore Brings to Your iba Infrastructure

Guided forensic analysis workflows for your existing iba setup

Visplore is an analysis layer complementing your iba environment. It works with what you already have.

iba HD Server

Your Time Series Data Foundation — Fully Utilized

The iba HD Server centralizes your plant’s time series data and production events at full resolution, continuously and automatically. Visplore connects directly to it, making all that captured data instantly available for systematic analysis across your metalworking operation.

  • Direct native connection — no export, no middleware, no cloud

  • Imports Time Series and Event Stores, including numerical, digital, and string signals

  • Filter events by recipe, product type, or metal grade before import

  • Loads only relevant event windows with no idle time in between

Visplore

Advanced Analytics & Root Cause Analysis — Guided for Engineers

Visplore answers the “why” behind your KPIs. It enables advanced analytics across hundreds of production events — without programming or manual data preparation. Fully on-premise, European-built, no data ever leaves your plant network.

  • Compare hundreds of production orders or machine cycles side-by-side

  • Automatically ranks which signals differ most between good and bad runs

  • Cross-reference with quality data, ERP/MES, and material databases

  • Reusable analysis templates — standardize root cause analysis across sites

USE CASES

From scrap spikes to machine degradation — root causes found in minutes

Real troubleshooting scenarios from metalworking and metal fabrication plants, powered by Visplore on top of iba HD Server data.

Scrap Rate RCA

Cross-Event Analysis

KPI shows increased scrap on a specific product. Select good vs. bad production orders, let Visplore rank which process parameters differed most across the metal fabrication chain.

Machine Cycle Time Drift

Time Series Analysis

Recent press or rolling mill cycles are running longer than baseline. Time series analysis across hundreds of events over weeks identifies which phase is drifting and what changed.

Energy Efficiency Drop

Signal Correlation

Furnace or drive energy consumption has increased. Correlate with operational signals, maintenance events, and material properties across weeks of of metalworking production data in minutes.

Early Equipment Degradation

Pattern Analysis

Detect subtle shifts in vibration, temperature, or torque patterns across machine cycles before they become failures — advanced analytics that let you act when KPIs turn yellow, not red.

Recipe & Material Correlation

Cross-Source Analysis

Understand how material input properties and recipe parameters influence output quality — by filtering and segmenting HD Server events by product type or heat number across your metal works.

Standardized Troubleshooting

Analysis Templates

Build reusable root cause analysis templates for recurring quality issues. Every engineer at every site follows the same guided workflow — reducing dependency on individual experts.

INTEGRATION IN ACTION

See how Visplore connects to your iba HD Server

Watch how Visplore imports time series data and Event Stores, filters by product type, and enables immediate cross-event analysis — all without leaving your on-premise environment.

HD Server Connection

Connects natively to all iba HD Server instances — no middleware, no export needed

Time Series & Event Stores

Imports numerical, digital, and string signals; search by name, identifier, or type

Efficient Event Import

Loads only the relevant event windows from your metalworking production — not the idle time in between

Filter by Category

Import only events matching a specific recipe, product type, or metal grade

Ad-Hoc Segmentation

Segment by digital trigger signals, value ranges, pattern shapes — everything directly in Visplore

Cross-Source Enrichment

Combine iba time series with quality databases, ERP exports, or lab results in one view
