What Integrated Test + Measurement does

Integrated Test & Measurement (ITM) is a privately held engineering services and software company founded in 2001 by Tim Carlier and headquartered in Milford, Ohio. The company operates across three vertical spaces: industrial monitoring, testing services, and proprietary iTestSystem software, serving customers in aerospace and defense, automotive, civil and infrastructure, energy and power generation, off-highway, and pulp and paper. ITM is a recognized National Instruments Gold Alliance Partner with a small, specialized workforce of 11-50 employees that delivers structural testing, strain gauge installation, vibration monitoring, and LabVIEW consulting engagements directly to enterprise clients across five to six continents.

The company's technical foundation centers on iTestSystem, a proprietary Windows desktop software platform purpose-built for NI cDAQ and FieldDAQ hardware that handles configuration, data acquisition, real-time visualization, and analysis of high-channel-count sensor data from strain gauges, accelerometers, thermocouples, and pressure transducers. ITM complements this software with patented industrial monitoring hardware for boiler applications (SFD, FMS, CDS, SHOP, HALT, SLM), rugged RAC-series data acquisition systems for harsh environments, and a Genset Vibration Monitoring product line. An Automated Analytics engine performs edge computation of RMS, peak, kurtosis, rainflow cycles, and fatigue damage indices, reducing transmission bandwidth by 10-100x before streaming summarized KPIs via MQTT to AWS IoT Core for downstream use with Timestream, Grafana, QuickSight, Amazon Lookout for Equipment, and SageMaker.

ITM generates revenue through five streams: project-based engineering services, freemium iTestSystem software licensing with paid advanced modules, industrial monitoring system sales and multi-year support contracts, short-term DAQ equipment rentals, and LabVIEW consulting. Customer acquisition is primarily direct via phone, email, website forms, and industry conferences such as NIWeek and the AF&PA Recovery Boiler Conference. Notable reference customers include Blue Origin, 6D Testing & Analysis, Ohio University, and unnamed mining, pulp and paper, and electric vehicle battery manufacturing clients.

Direct peers

• HBK (Hottinger Brüel & Kjær): HBK is a global leader in test & measurement, structural durability, and vibration analysis hardware and software. It competes with ITM's RAC rugged DAQ systems, strain gauging, and vibration test services across automotive, aerospace, and industrial customers.
• MTS Systems: MTS Systems provides high-performance structural and materials test systems used in automotive, aerospace, and civil engineering. It competes with ITM's structural testing services and rugged DAQ solutions for design validation projects.
• PCB Piezotronics (MTS Sensors): PCB Piezotronics manufactures vibration, pressure, and acoustic sensors used in structural health monitoring and industrial condition monitoring. Its accelerometers are often deployed alongside systems like ITM's Genset Vibration Monitoring and vibration test packages.
• Dewesoft: Dewesoft manufactures high-channel DAQ systems and bundled data acquisition software for vibration, structural, and power testing. It competes with ITM's iTestSystem + cDAQ bundles in vehicle, aerospace, and industrial monitoring applications.
• Kistler Group: Kistler supplies piezoelectric sensors, charge amplifiers, and complete test systems for measuring pressure, force, acceleration, and strain. It overlaps directly with ITM's strain gauge installation services and structural testing product set across automotive, aerospace, and industrial customers.

Emerging players

• Structural Monitoring Systems: SMS provides structural health monitoring systems for aerospace and civil infrastructure using comparative vacuum monitoring and advanced sensors. It is comparable to ITM's structural load monitoring and aerospace strain gauging services in rugged, mission-critical applications.
• Campbell Scientific: Campbell Scientific designs rugged data loggers and measurement systems for structural health, environmental, and industrial monitoring. It overlaps with ITM's RAC series and civil/infrastructure remote monitoring solutions but with a stronger environmental and geotechnical focus.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell Forge Predictive Maintenance: Honeywell Forge offers asset performance and predictive maintenance software for power generation, refining, and pulp & paper. It competes with ITM's boiler monitoring and structural health monitoring business, particularly for large enterprise customers consolidating vendors.
• National Instruments (now part of Emerson): NI is the dominant hardware platform for ITM and a recognized Gold Alliance Partner in this case, but also sells its own DAQ systems, LabVIEW, and structural test software that overlap directly with iTestSystem's market. Since Emerson's acquisition, NI increasingly competes with integrators like ITM.
• Emerson (Plantweb / NI): Emerson owns National Instruments and operates a broad industrial automation and condition monitoring portfolio (Plantweb, AMS). As the parent of ITM's key hardware partner and a developer of competing analytics, Emerson is the most consequential incumbent peer for ITM's industrial monitoring franchise.
