Why Choose ITR
Who We Are
Experience Vs. Experiment
The condition monitoring and predictive maintenance industry is still very young by many standards. For obvious reasons, its growth over the past 40 years closely correlates with improvements in computational technologies.
As one of the original predictive maintenance companies in the world, ITR has also grown with the industry. We apply this experience everyday through our services and technologies. While many companies new to asset analytics and predictive maintenance experiment with predictive technologies, we know what works, what does not, and how best to tackle industry’s most complex assets.
The ITR Story
ITR is short for Industrial Technology Research. Since inception, the focus of the company was and continues to be the application of technology to create the world’s most reliable industrial systems.
In the 1970’s, a core team of electrical and mechanical engineers developed the computerized vibration analysis (CVA) process while working for the research arm of one of the largest manufacturers in the world at the time. Prior to CVA, engineers were required to analyze vibration data in the field using traditional data acquisition equipment and software. The technology limited practitioners in their abilities to predict potential failure modes using advanced analysis techniques. With CVA, practitioners could perform more comprehensive analysis from a safe environment, see more relevant data and be more precise and accurate in their analysis. This new method and technology dramatically improved the overall safety of data collection and enable analysts to see far more data relevant to the overall condition of the asset. Upon recognizing the commercial viability of CVA, the core team founded ITR.
Today, ITR is one of the original and largest independent predictive maintenance service organizations in the world focusing on improving return on assets through the integration of all major PdM technologies. With customers in most US states and over 20 countries on six continents, we remain one of the few PdM providers maintaining independence and a strict commitment to service.
