Avoid Unplanned Downtime with Machine Health | Augury
Avoid Unplanned Downtime and Protect Throughput With Early Equipment Insights
When critical equipment fails, production stops. Revenue disappears. Your team is under pressure to recover as quickly as possible.
Augury’s AI-powered Machine Health monitoring system alerts you to developing failures weeks before they happen, giving you the time and guidance to fix issues on your own schedule.
Industry Challenges
The cost of reactive maintenance
Manufacturing teams face critical challenges daily:
Break the repair cycle
- It can be frustrating to repeatedly repair the same machine issues repeatedly
- To fix problems effectively and prevent them from recurring, you need to understand their root cause
- You want reassurance that a repair is handled right the first time
Protect your production
- If production stops without warning, it puts immediate pressure on your maintenance schedules
- Unplanned machine downtime can make it difficult to meet your customer commitments
- You need a way to protect your revenue and consistently hit your targets
See beyond manual checks
- Even with careful inspections, it is difficult to see issues developing inside a machine, e.g., subtle misalignment that hasn’t yet caused heat or noise
- Traditional inspections may miss early warning signs of machine faults
- Relying on what you can hear or feel often identifies a machine problem only after it has escalated
Support your team’s capacity
- Constant “firefighting” makes it hard for your team to focus on strategic work
- Managing excessive “just-in-case” spare parts inventory drains valuable resources
- Missing early machine issues can lead to product loss or raw material waste

The Challenge
The team wanted to reduce unplanned downtime as part of their operational excellence business targets.
After Augury
Using heat, vibration, and magnetic signals, Augury detected early warning signals that helped improve unplanned downtime through fast and accurate alerts.
Results
- Reduced unexpected downtime, preventing more than 1 million pounds of food waste in one year
- 0 unexpected breakdowns or interruptions across monitored pilot assets
- 4 months of additional runtime unlocked for production lines to meet demand
The Challenge
Operations were reactive, requiring technicians to make their best judgment call on what was wrong by listening to noises.
After Augury
The team has visibility into production, allowing them to see what’s coming and plan resources and safety accordingly.
Results
- $2.4 million in downtime and repair costs avoided by detecting a single motor fault early and getting the spare part ordered in time
- 20-25% improvement in average uptime numbers achieved after deploying Augury
The Challenge
Before Augury, the team’s maintenance reliability work process was very traditional, route-based, and time-interval-based. Emergency repairs would pop up, disrupting schedules.
After Augury
Their maintenance team has access to early alerts, allowing them to avoid unplanned downtime by addressing machine problems with enough time to schedule the repair.
Results
- 7x ROI achieved in less than one year
- 100% accuracy in Machine Health predictions reported by the team
The shift from reactive to proactive
| Reactive Maintenance (Before) | Predictive / CBM (After) |
|---|---|
| Fix after failure | Fix before failure |
| No early warning | Early fault detection |
| Catastrophic damage | Failure avoidance through targeted interventions |
| Unplanned downtime | Planned, condition-based repairs |
| Event-driven maintenance | Data-driven, expert-informed, predictive maintenance |
