“Please clone Bill.” That’s what a customer told me during a meeting earlier this year, referring to their senior process engineer. It was partly a joke, but there was real truth in it. Bill is 66. He’s ready to retire. He knows the plant better than anyone alive, and without him, nobody else could tell... The post Knowledge Doesn’t Have to Retire appeared first on Augury .

Key highlights: What is predictive maintenance software for manufacturing? Predictive maintenance software for manufacturing continuously monitors equipment condition and flags developing faults before they cause a breakdown. Sensors mounted on critical assets stream vibration, temperature, and other condition data into AI models. These models are trained to recognize the early signatures of specific failure modes,...

You’re new to manufacturing. What made you say yes to Augury? A few things came together. First, I wanted to join a global company that was expanding its footprint, because that’s work I’ve done before and love doing. Augury’s roots in Israel were part of the draw, too. I admire the pace, intellect, and resilience... The post People First, Everywhere: A Conversation With Dana Teplitsky appeared first on Augury .

It’s a perpetual goal in manufacturing: produce more, higher-quality products at minimum cost.  Machine learning (ML) is the technology that makes this goal achievable at scale. It’s also what helps manufacturers extend the life of their assets, improve yield while reducing waste, and lower maintenance costs.  This article covers how ML works in manufacturing, the...

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a widely accepted and utilized manufacturing evaluation method. While still an essential metric for manufacturers, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is limited in its ability to give your manufacturing teams the “big picture.”  To respond to this need for a better-suited metric, a technique known as Overall Line Efficiency (OLE) is...

You lead hardware and ecosystem work at Augury. How did you end up building a knowledge format? I’ve been at Augury for seven years, building sensors and systems. In that time, we built sensors, gateways, the lab, test guidelines, and the team around all of it. There was no cookbook for any of that. We...

Plant floors are more tech-enabled than ever before. The problem is that highly skilled production and process Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are still stuck being the “glue” between the different data systems running within your operations. Manually combining data from your historian, MES, ERP, and CMMS systems is time-consuming, ineffective, and a waste of your...

Growing challenges in manufacturing You are already dealing with tighter staffing, rising downtime risk, and growing pressure to hit plan with fewer resources. As experienced technicians retire and take decades of their operational expertise with them, your operation faces even greater risk. The 2026 State of Production Health, which surveyed more than 500 manufacturing leaders,...

What is machine downtime tracking and analysis? Machine downtime tracking and analysis is the process of recording when equipment stops, how long each stoppage lasts, and why it occurred, then analyzing that data to identify the issues causing the greatest production losses. Tracking downtime in production and analyzing it are two different jobs, and you... The post Machine Downtime Tracking and Analysis: Techniques and Best Practices appeared first on Augury .
