# 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

## Proven results across the Industry

### 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 |
