Optimistic – ITS MD Graham Ives says Teesside ’ s future looks bright .
“ The future on Teesside is bright . Technology is accelerating faster than ever before and the opportunities to help people with automation are increasing rapidly .” problems and making decisions , and removing the dependencies on hierarchical relationships to come to a solution .
These decisions need to fit with our core values : accountability ( taking responsibility to make it happen ), communication ( giving all the information at the right time , and finding a way to come to a solution together ), entrepreneurial ( committing to finding a way to bring the solution to life ), inspiring ( doing it in a way that inspires others to take up their challenges with energy ), and teamwork ( doing what ’ s right for the customer and the team ).
These core values are alive in the business and everyone on the team is encouraged to live them every day . They help us deliver positive change to our customers and our colleagues , all the way from guiding our recruitment to project delivery and systems support .
Having people who are motivated to do the right thing for their customers and our team at ITS is what makes us great to work with . Our team is all about solving people ’ s problems , using knowledge and some “ out of the box ” thinking to deliver systems that help save lives or keep people safe .
For many years , we have developed our traditional skills in control systems to stay at the forefront of technology in key skills , with PLC and DCS control systems , databases , data management and data analytics helping people maintain control over their processes and finding ways to predict failure in advance , or identifying critical parameters in their processes .
Combinations of machine vision , deep learning and edge learning technologies allow us to solve many quality challenges for our customers by ensuring any faults with products are captured and prevented from reaching the consumer . Coupled with robotic systems , we can ensure that we do this more flexibly , using cobots and robots to help the health and safety of workers by removing work that can create Repetitive Strain Injuries , improve mental health by removing mundane tasks and allowing them to do something more mentally stimulating . Additionally , robots and cobots can fulfil tasks firms struggle to recruit people for .
A key part of our work in keeping people safe in automation is around Computer Systems Validation , ensuring that best engineering practice is followed , helping our customers deliver repeatable and safe automated processes in the manufacture of drugs and medical devices . We have a great team across our Warrington and Middlesbrough sites , with varied experience from laboratories , HVAC systems , production systems and equipment validation at all levels .
Our customers say that whenever they are audited , if the audit involves an ITS Ltd system , they know that the auditors will be impressed by the quality of delivery . Having that confidence in us is something we aim for constantly - we want to be our customer ’ s trusted advisor .
It ’ s been an absolute honour to work with all the people at ITS Ltd over the years , to be part of our great team of people , helping them grow and achieve their goals , and helping our customers have a great experience working with us to achieve their goals while ensuring that people who need help are kept safe . The future on Teesside is bright . Technology is accelerating faster than ever before and the opportunities to help people with automation are increasing rapidly . It ’ s an exciting time for many and it ’ s no different at ITS . If you think we can help you please come in and see us , we ’ ll be focused on helping you achieve your goals .
