TECHNOLOGY & AI
Augury works with manufacturers across many sectors – from food , beverages and consumer packaged goods to building materials , forest products and pharmaceuticals .
“ By tapping into the data manufacturers have from machines and production lines , manufacturers can learn how to maximise output ”
SAAR YOSKOVTIZ CEO OF AUGURY with advanced AI diagnostics and input from human-reliability experts , alerting users when a machine is going to fail , what to fix , and how to fix it .”
The technology continually builds ‘ knowledge ’, improving at the same time as it monitors the manufacturing equipment .
Lowering emissions and saving money in manufacturing “ Customers everyone will have heard of include the likes of Colgate-Palmolive and Hershey ’ s , partners like Grundfos and Baker Hughes , just to name a few ,” says Yoskovtiz .
One reason for this is because Augury is working hard to lower the emissions that they produce and are able to save money at the same time .
“ Healthier running machines use less energy ,” says Yoskovtiz . “ I ’ ve seen companies reduce their total energy consumption by as much as 20 %, just by getting ahead of problems and eliminating downtime .”
For example , since 2020 Osem Nestlé has been using Machine Health technology to avoid unexpected downtime .
“ Recently , one alert on their Sabra hummus production line allowed teams to make an early repair , saving thousands of dollars and preventing a shutdown of their entire factory . In the words of Gofna LIss-Rubin their Open Innovation Manager : ‘ Whenever we prevent a failure , we , of course , prevent everything that comes from that . We reduce the amount of labour time , machine time ; we reduce all the inputs that are used in our operating machines — including energy , water , and gas emissions ’.”
Any improvement Augury has in operation and the reduction of the inputs is helping the company meet their sustainability goals . manufacturingdigital . com 77
