Process Health Sand | Augury

Stop leaving profit in the pit. Turn millions of production data points into simple AI-powered recommendations that increase yield, quality, throughput, and profit.

Process Health enables operators to pivot instantly between maximizing throughput when demand is high and optimizing for efficiency when markets are soft.

Now you can control variables that include, but are not limited to:

• Environmental and product variables (air temperature, air humidity, incoming sand moisture and grain size)
• Machine variables (dryer air flow, incoming product mass flow rate, heat input rate)
• Output variables (material conveying loads, baghouse differential pressure, product temperature, product humidity, air exhaust temperature)

Meet Superior Silica Sands

Superior Silica Sands’ sand mining operation was drowning in complexity. Every shift, operators managing six to seven uncontrollable variables while dealing with volatile demand swings.

“I spent hours trying to optimize this process myself and didn’t do any better than the operators,” said CEO Scott Waughtal. “It’s just too hard to manually run optimally.”

After implementing Augury’s Process Health, everything changed.
