Augury Machine Health classification
Augury classifies each machine with a personalized Machine Health Index.
These statuses are taken from the data analytics of our vibration analyst experts, and the AI system pulls from the machine.
In the table below, you will find the statuses we display following the data received from the analytics and the action we recommend taking.
What faults & symptoms do we expect to catch?
| |
|---|
- Axial Unbalance
- Bearing Lubrication Issues
- Bearing Wear
- Beat Frequency
- Blade Pass Frequency
- Cavitation
- Damaged Rotor Bars
- Electrical Faults
- Electrical Discharge via Bearings
- Gear Friction
- Impacting
- Loose Connections
- Loose Rotor Bars
- Worn/Eccentric Fan Sheave
- Worn/Eccentric Motor Sheave
| - Loose Stator Windings
- Misalignment
- Operational Issues
- Radial Unbalance
- Resonance
- Rotating Mechanical Looseness
- Rotor Mesh Abnormality
- Rotor Eccentricity
- Rubbing/Friction
- Shaft Eccentricity
- Significant Change in Vibrations
(on normal RPM components) - Stator Eccentricity
- Structural Mechanical Looseness
- Vane Pass Frequency
- Worn/Defective Belts

What faults are we less confident at catching?
- Very rapid failures - Failures that occur within hours are more difficult to flag and action in time.
- Non-mechanical faults (electrical shorts, process, etc.)
- Journal-bearing faults
- Low rpm components
- Mechanical seal failures
- Faults that typically do not have vibration buildups - e.g, snapped shafts, product jams, etc.
- Intermittent machines - our hourly sampling will catch fewer “Machine On” sessions, meaning we might miss some rapid events but still catch many failures
Augury monitoring process
All our machines are monitored by our vibration analysts and AI capabilities.
By reviewing the data that led to the failure, we can establish and implement insights, possibly enhance our coverage, or implement lessons that could help mitigate such events in the future.
If a machine monitored by Augury fails unexpectedly, it's important for us to know about it. To notify Augury of a failure event, log the details as an Observation in the platform. (See the screenshot below.)
It is important to include the date and time of the failure, the failure mode, and the failed component.
This data ensures we include all relevant parameters during the review process.
Basic IoT expectations
- After replacing an Augury-covered component, Be sure to re-attach the sensors back to their respective location.
- Sensors that “fall off” should be reattached to their respective location for continued monitoring.
