Machine health insights helped you do what?!
What is the most memorable or unexpected situation where Augury’s insights helped you and your team tackle a problem?

FAQ: Supporting Equipment
How do I use alerts that I get from SE equipment?
The SE alerts are designed to notify you of potential health changes to the health of their equipment by flagging unique changes in various mechanical and vibrational parameters.
In order to filter out alerts that are not indicative of a real deterioration in the machine's health (e.g. a one-time event that causes the vibration levels of the machine to increase sharply), and identify the alerts that should raise concern, we have created a step-by-step wizard that can walk you through the process of reviewing every alert on SE.
Can I see spectrum data on my MH SE equipment?
No, spectrum data is not available for MH SE assets. Users can access spectrum data on equipment monitored by MH CR…Read More
