Over the past several weeks I have been asked repeatedly if cost was a key decision point to digital applications we purchased and implemented in our manufacturing and distribution sites. My answer has always been the same. Cost was NOT part of the decision. ROI (Return on investment) was a key decision point once proof of…
Hello, 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 ask them to change the component they could not…
As we look to justify the investment in the Augury platform we gravitate towards the impact of significant reduction in equipment failures. We can always look at our data and assume some percentage improvement in line output. This translates to cost reductions in maintenace labor, parts usage, etc. Of course in today's…
Several discussions in this forum about about shop-floor people implementation buy-in, drive participation and usage, win trust and other very relevant topics, which show that change management and operator support are critical to implement AI-Insights technology and to drive results. A related and complementary topic is…
A typical win is an event where Augury successfully identified a machine health issue ahead of an unexpected failure AND the on-site team took action before it failed. These types of events are automatically posted on Augury.com under the Success and Impact tab. For each win, we will collaborate to quantify the win's…
I'm curious how sites with very mature PdM programs have justified and implemented transition to and expansion of Augury platform given the annual cost per asset to monitor via Augury.
