Supporting Smarter, Safer, and More Efficient Production
ITS is a specialist system integrator supporting manufacturers across the UK with end-to-end industrial automation, factory automation, and process control system solutions.
We design, implement, and maintain automation architectures that optimise production, enhance reliability, and provide real-time operational insight through technologies such as PLC, SCADA, MES, DCS, ICS, and advanced data systems.
We work across both discrete manufacturing and continuous process environments, with strong roots in Teesside’s chemical and industrial sectors as well as national projects in automotive, aerospace, battery manufacturing, and emerging sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facilities.
Understanding the Modern Manufacturing Challenge
Manufacturers face rising costs, global supply-chain pressures, stringent sustainability targets, and increasing expectations for traceability and uptime. At the same time, regulatory frameworks place heavy demands on data integrity, safety, and consistent product quality.
As a leading system integrator UK, ITS helps manufacturers meet these challenges through intelligent process automation, compliant control platforms, and digital transformation strategies.
Our solutions make production more visible, measurable, and manageable through real-time data acquisition, OEE tracking, data historian systems, and integrated control environments.

Automation & Digital Solutions for Manufacturing
Business Operational Solutions
By combining OEE, traceability, and batch processing tools with wider business operational systems, we help manufacturers reduce downtime, improve throughput, and make informed decisions based on accurate, real-time data. Our work includes developing MES-ready architectures, integrating batch systems, and delivering unified operational dashboards across whole plants or multi-site networks.
Management Information Systems
By collecting and contextualising data from PLC, SCADA, MES, and OEE systems, we deliver dashboards that provide full operational visibility, from the individual line to management level. This real-time insight allows manufacturers to monitor performance, identify inefficiencies, and drive continuous improvement across every process.
Process Control Systems
Covering everything from PLC, SCADA, and DCS integration to custom HMI interfaces, our control solutions connect legacy and modern equipment into a single, intelligent network. Each system is tailored to the specific needs of the site, ensuring optimal performance, compliance, and traceability across diverse manufacturing environments.
Project Management & Engineering Services
Whether upgrading legacy systems or delivering full-scale digital transformation, every project is managed to meet strict quality, safety, and regulatory standards. We also support ongoing system validation, cybersecurity assessment, and obsolescence planning, ensuring solutions remain robust and future-ready.
Robotic & Vision Systems
These systems automatically identify product defects, verify packaging accuracy, and detect deviations before they impact production. By deploying robotics and vision together, we help manufacturers achieve greater consistency, reduce rework, and protect both resources and reputation.
Service Level Agreements
Our services include call-out response, scheduled maintenance, cybersecurity management, and performance optimisation. By combining preventative action with rapid response, we ensure automation systems continue to operate safely, efficiently, and in full alignment with industry standards.
Engineering Smarter, Safer, and More Sustainable Manufacturing
Innovation and Future Manufacturing
ITS continues to support projects at the forefront of industrial innovation, including automation systems for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.
SAF represents one of the UK’s most significant industrial shifts, driven by government mandates for greener fuels and the push toward net zero by 2050.
As process automation and digitalisation accelerate, manufacturers will increasingly rely on cybersecurity, remote access, multi-site visibility, and resilient data systems to remain competitive.
ITS is preparing manufacturers for this future by delivering intelligent, connected, cyber-secure automation platforms that support efficiency, reliability, and global competitiveness.
