hardware, software and service provider and recognized by many across all major
industries as the leading authority on
PdM
Our History
“ITR” is short for Industrial Technology Reliability. Incorporated
in 1983 in the USA, the roots of the company were and continue 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 a major US steel
company. Prior to CVA, engineers were required to conduct vibration analysis 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 either at the machine or from an office environment, dramatically improving
the safety and overall effectiveness of the vibration analysis industry. Upon recognizing
the commercial viability of CVA, the core team founded the ITR Company.

Commitment to Technology and Service
Unlike many competitors, ITR only provides hardware, software and services focused
entirely on reliability and condition monitoring. ITR’s success is 100% dependent
upon the value of the tools and information provided to customers to improve their
preventive maintenance programs and avoid problems whenever possible. ITR success
is due entirely to the success of its customer’s
PdM
and reliability processes.
ITR remains committed to providing customers with the most advanced
PdM
technology and service available in the industry. Commercially available technology
typically lags ITR advancements by several years, and ITR remains focused on the
research and development required to stay ahead of the curve. By focusing on the
process of converting data to information using advanced analytical techniques,
ITR remains the
PdM
industry leader for helping companies establish world-class
PdM
and reliability processes.
