Introduction

Augury offers full-stack complementary machine health services.

• MH CR for critical equipment
  Continuous monitoring and prescriptive diagnostics are verified by Augury reliability engineers, so you can rely on the machines that matter the most and know how they are performing 24/7.
  For more details see: Machine health for critical equipment

• MH SE for supporting equipment.
  Continuous monitoring and prescriptive diagnostics for non-critical machines, with instructions on what to do next.
  Note that this will soon be replaced by "Pulse". We'll keep you informed.
  For more details see: Machine health for supporting equipment

• Managed Diagnostics (MD)
  Provides Machine Health coverage to machines with slow rotation speeds (between 150 - 300 RPM) as well as intermittently running machines.
  For more details see: Machine diagnostics

• Specialized Monitoring (SM)
  Provides Machine Health coverage to machines with ultra-slow rotation speeds (less than 150 RPM), machines that change speed during normal operations, and non-rotating machines.

Machine health for critical equipment

MH CR provides full monitoring, diagnostics, and Augury reliability engineers to cover your most critical equipment. It delivers precise fault diagnostics, root cause analysis, and detailed instructions on what needs to be done to avert machine failures and improve machine performance. Augury reliability engineers are available, if required, to help you implement the required actions.

MH CR provides the tools and resources to help your organization:

• Continuously monitor all critical assets
• Deploy technology certified to cover critical equipment in hazardous environments
• Reduce planned and unplanned downtime with actionable insights
• Optimize the performance of your assets and processes
• Streamline spare parts inventory
• Optimize shift planning and scheduling strategies to condition-based maintenance

Guaranteed Diagnostics

Some customers with the MH CR package also have Guaranteed Diagnostics. This is a warranty that includes compensation for repair events you were not warned about to reimburse for machine downtime and production expenses for Critical Rotating (CR) assets. You can see if a machine has guaranteed diagnostics by the blue badge in the machine header.

Machine health for supporting equipment

MH SE provides full monitoring, that, together with advanced AI-based diagnostics, enables users quickly determine the severity of potential problems on a machine before it reaches failure.

Quickly scan for problems, stay up to date on your facility's performance, and perform maintenance.

MH SE provides the tools and resources to help your organization:

• Achieve full asset fleet coverage on one, integrated Machine Health platform
• Eliminate unplanned downtime and establish proactive maintenance planning and scheduling
• Streamline spare parts inventory
• Reduce manual inspections and employee exposure to hazardous locations and equipment
• Augment employee capabilities and eliminate guesswork
• Reduce M&R costs at your site and at scale

Managed diagnostics

Managed Diagnostics (CR-MD) is an add-on that expands Machine Health coverage to previously underdiagnosed asset types that have slow rotation speeds (between 150 - 300 RPM) as well as highly intermittent running machines.

These machines are chronically under-diagnosed across the industry due to the challenges in monitoring them but are super critical. When they go down, they can easily account for more than 50% of downtime (and, for hard-to-repair machines, can cause up to 90% of downtime).

CR-MD provides a vast improvement on older monitoring techniques, such as route-based ultrasound monitoring. Because of the many challenges to monitoring such systems and the focus on higher system sensitivity to prevent downtime, there is a slightly higher expected risk of missed faults as well as more false alarms/alarm noise.

With CR-MD expanding your Machine Health coverage you can continuously monitor all your machines on the same Machine Health platform. You are less likely to miss the signs of a developing problem because all the data is available in the same place. This means there is no need to switch applications, connect the dots, or buy and integrate multiple solutions.

How it works

Augury VAs leverage available anomaly detectors and manage a combination of asset-specific features, with additional anomaly detection to trigger alerts to users

• CR-MD uses custom-built feature thresholds, set by VAs or the customer.
• Specialized AI features and detectors listen for specific vibration patterns unique to low RPM machines.
• Specialized sampling regime to maximize recorded sessions for analysis in Intermittent Machines
• When a threshold is crossed, users automatically receive alerts.
• The relevant machines are flagged as CR-MD on the Machine Health page and have frequent manual review by VAs.
• The customer has full access to advanced analytics so they can check and analyze the data and take action.

Specialized monitoring

Specialized Monitoring (CR-SM) is an add-on that expands Machine Health coverage to previously underdiagnosed asset types that have ultra-slow rotation speeds (less than 150 RPM), machines that change speed during normal operations, and non-rotating machines.

These critical machines are chronically under-diagnosed across the industry because they are extremely challenging to monitor. In some cases, failures on these highly specialized machines can account for more than 50% of downtime losses.

Using Augury’s Specialized Monitoring, you can now enable continuous monitoring of these assets with a customized monitoring regime and prevent downtime more effectively than route-based or periodic monitoring programs.

With CR-SM expanding your Machine Health coverage, you can continuously monitor all your machines on the same Machine Health platform. You are less likely to miss the signs of a developing problem because all the data is available in the same place. This means there is no need to switch applications, connect the dots, or buy and integrate multiple solutions.

How it Works

Augury VAs work together with the customer to set up a customized monitoring regime based on the needs of the machine being monitored. They leverage available anomaly detectors and manage a combination of asset-specific features, with additional threshold-based triggers to alert users

• CR-SM uses a customized monitoring regime designed based on customer needs. A customized monitoring regime could be a combination of AI features and anomaly detection, threshold-based alerts, and enhanced analyst reviews of machines.
• The relevant machines are flagged as CR-SM on the Machine Health page.
• The customer has full access to advanced analytics so they can check and analyze the data and take action.
