It’s official – there’s a teenager in the house. To celebrate, we’ve compiled 13 of the nicest gifts we have ever received: impact statements and compliments from customers, partners, analysts, and the press.

“We had a problem getting the mechanics to trust what our technology was telling us. We have several tenured mechanics, and they had been taking care of the equipment for a long time. The failures that we find with Augury are very high in the P-F curve so when we asked them to change the component, they could not understand why we were changing good components out. We then started doing autopsies on the problems that we found. You would be surprised how many mechanics will come around to see what you are doing if you start tearing down a motor on the shop table. Once they see the problems that you found with Augury, they started to understand what this technology can do and how it can help identify the problem.
We are lucky that we have our upper management support with our predictive maintenance program. They realize the savings and help us to make the program a success.” — Roy Smithson, Maintenance

“‘The value of startup vendors such as Augury has initially been the combination of hardware and software predictive-maintenance solutions, especially machine learning-driven.’ said Emil Berthelsen, vice president and analyst at IT research and consulting firm Gartner Inc.
By using multiple data sources, such as historical and operational data, acoustic sensors and images, Mr. Berthelsen said, ‘the quality and levels of predictive-maintenance insights continues to improve.’”

“My mission was to make the world’s best pet food. My mission wasn’t to be the world’s best at machine learning and end-to-end systems and predictive maintenance. So I wanted to find that strategic partner that was one of the best in that space and they could enable me to go fast and wide. Because there’s a time-to-value here from a money perspective, the longer it takes me to get this technology in, the more downtime I’m incurring.” — Terry LeDoux, Former VP Digital Manufacturing, Retired, Nestle Purina

“The beauty of the solution that we have together with Machine Health, partnering with Augury, is…state of the art hardware and software delivering value immediately and maximizing on an ability to deliver something to the customer that they see now…We’re creating value together. That’s a very different dynamic, right? That’s a true SaaS model of technology and digital to basically embrace your customer and say, not only am I delivering you something that’s incredible, it’s going to get you the value you are looking for and the ROI you wanted to exceed your expectations.” — Carlos Gomez, VP, Global Partnerships & Alliances, Baker Hughes

“Getting these wins up front and early is very important. The news spreads like wildfire around the company. People start saying, ‘Hey that’s neat, we need that at our facility!’ Of course, we were also collecting KPIs from the beginning, and not only on whether we prevented equipment failure. We also covered time to reaction, time to getting a notification, time to taking action… We’re tracking all of those. And once we saw they were all tracking the right direction, it gave us the confidence to move forward.” — Gary Binstock, Director of Technology for Strategic Innovation and Alliances, Colgate-Palmolive

“But here, it’s not just human workers trying to hear signs of machine failure above the factory fray. Sensors attached to equipment are also listening out for indications of hardware faults, having been trained to recognise sounds of weary machines that risk bringing production lines to a grinding halt.
PepsiCo is deploying these sensors, created by tech firm Augury and powered by artificial intelligence (AI), across its factories following a successful US trial.”

“Whenever we prevent a failure, of course we prevent everything that comes from that. We reduce the amount of labor time, machine time, we reduce all the inputs that are used in our operating machines—including energy, water, and gas emissions. Any improvement we have in operation and the reduction of the inputs is helping us meet our sustainability goals. We really feel that we have a partner in Augury and this has made it very, very successful.” — Gofna Liss-Rubin, Open Innovation Manager, Osem-Nestlé
