The ITS R&D lab is now a valuable resource for our customers because we can dedicate the time to solve specific application issues.

Before any customer commits to any equipment purchase, most want to know or confirm their product’s thermal profile or washing process in advance. The ITS R&D lab is now a valuable resource for our customers because we can dedicate the time to solve specific application issues. ITS can also test new ideas and processes and provide solutions that improve the customer’s process.
Our R & D lab includes a versatile oven and lab washer, an in-house heat transfer program, and commercial CFD software to develop or confirm the heating/washing process with the customer by providing scientific results, with or sometimes without the actual parts.
After the PO, R & D always work with the engineering department to ensure delivering the necessary heat process or washing parameters. R & D department also constantly work on different innovation projects, explore new method or technology to keep ITS in leading edge of the thermal processing industry.

“Solutions for Tomorrow” is the slogan for R & D. The full-time lab is under the direction of Dr. Joe, an US Patent holder with a Ph.D. in Thermal Science.

In this episode, I sat down with Beejan Giga, Director | Partner and Caleb Emerson, Senior Results Manager at Carpedia International. We discussed the insights behind their recent Industry Today article, “Thinking Three Moves Ahead” and together we explored how manufacturers can plan more strategically, align with their suppliers, and build the operational discipline needed to support intentional, sustainable growth. It was a conversation packed with practical perspectives on navigating a fast-changing industry landscape.
