CPS Partners with ECD to Bring Advanced Thermal Profiling to U.S. Bakeries

Comprehensive Process Solutions (CPS) has taken a major step to expand its support for the U.S. baking industry by partnering with ECD, a leader in thermal profiling technology. This new collaboration, facilitated by BAKERpedia, will enable CPS to represent ECD’s cutting-edge thermal profiling solutions nationwide, helping bakers elevate their operations with accessible and effective tools.

BAKERpedia, renowned for connecting industry leaders to foster innovative baking solutions, was pivotal in bringing these two companies together. “Pairing our sponsors to create more robust solutions for the commercial baking industry is what we aim for at BAKERpedia,” says Bob Schnyder, VP of Growth. “We’re thrilled to see CPS and ECD join forces to deliver enhanced baking performance through this strategic partnership.”

A Synergistic Approach to Improving Baking Operations

Led by Phillip Stringer, Owner and Principal Consultant, CPS has a long history of implementing advanced process solutions in bakeries across the globe. The company’s expertise in bakery engineering, production optimization, and energy efficiency aligns seamlessly with ECD’s baking technologies, such as the M.O.L.E.® thermal profilers, BreadOMETER®, and OvenBALANCER® validation sensors.

“I’ve used ECD’s M.O.L.E. profilers for many years in my consulting work,” says Stringer. “Many bakeries mistakenly think thermal profiling is complex, but ECD’s tools make it straightforward and highly beneficial. This partnership with ECD allows us to bring these powerful technologies to more bakeries, along with BAKERpedia’s vast technical resources, help to optimize processes, boost product quality, and inspire product innovation.”

Leveraging ECD’s Advanced Thermal Profiling Tools

ECD’s thermal profiling portfolio provides the precision and user-friendliness needed for bakeries to achieve superior oven performance and product quality. Their range includes thermal profilers with time-saving touchscreen interfaces, as well as sensors for validating equipment and ensuring FSMA compliance. Unlike other thermal profiling tools that can be complex and costly, ECD’s solutions are designed for ease of use, making them ideal for bakers aiming to integrate profiling into routine operations.

“We’ve been looking for a partner with deep industry knowledge and a proven ability to enhance bakery production,” says Tara Fischer, President of ECD, highlighting the importance of the partnership. “CPS fits that profile perfectly. Their experience and understanding of our products will help us deliver even greater value to customers nationwide.”

Strengthening the Industry Through Collaboration

The partnership between CPS and ECD represents more than just a business arrangement—it’s a concerted effort to drive innovation in the baking industry. By combining CPS’s consulting expertise with ECD’s advanced technology, bakeries can expect to see more streamlined processes, reduced energy consumption, and improved product consistency.

BAKERpedia’s role in facilitating this collaboration underscores its mission to foster meaningful connections that benefit the entire industry. The introduction of CPS to ECD exemplifies how aligning the right partners can produce significant advantages for commercial baking.
