Manufacturing and process industry with significant rotating equipment where unplanned downtime costs >$10K/hour.
Small operations (overhead exceeds savings), or asset types Augury doesn't cover (electronics, structural, fluid).
What is Augury?
Augury combines IoT vibration sensors with AI to predict failures on industrial rotating equipment (motors, pumps, fans, compressors) weeks before they happen. Series F raised $75M in late 2024 at ~$1B+ valuation. Customers include Colgate-Palmolive, Heineken, ABInBev, and Pepsi.

Predictive maintenance that actually predicts
Augury's vibration sensors plus AI catch bearing wear, misalignment, and motor failures weeks in advance. Used by Colgate, Heineken, ABInBev. The ROI math works for any plant where unplanned downtime costs $10K+/hour.
Augury's product is the best-validated predictive maintenance solution for rotating equipment in industrial settings. Wireless battery-powered vibration sensors install in minutes (no wiring), report continuously to Augury Cloud, and the ML models flag specific failure modes (bearing wear, misalignment, imbalance, lubrication issues) with diagnostic precision. The customer outcome data — failure prediction weeks in advance, downtime reductions of 30-50% — is independently validated by major manufacturers.
The market position is the strongest in industrial AI for fixed-equipment. Augury has expanded from rotating equipment into broader process monitoring with the Halo platform, which is competitive but less differentiated. The core rotating-equipment use case remains where Augury is decisively best.
The limitations are scope and ROI math at small scale. Augury covers rotating equipment well — motors, pumps, fans, compressors — but not electronics, structural, or fluid systems. The per-machine subscription ($200-500/month) plus sensor hardware adds up; plants with low downtime cost don't justify the spend. The integration with CMMS systems (IBM Maximo, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) is mature but requires real implementation effort.
Buy Augury for manufacturing and process industry plants with significant rotating equipment where unplanned downtime costs $10K+/hour. Skip for small operations, low-criticality equipment, or asset types Augury doesn't cover.

Before you buy Augury
Vendors don't tell you about their competitors. We do — with verdicts attached when we have them.
What Augury actually costs
Sticker price isn't the real cost. We add implementation, training, and a probability-weighted lock-in penalty.
When to negotiate Augury
Vendor sales pressure is non-uniform — quarter-close, year-end, and post-funding-round are your high-leverage windows.
Strong negotiation window. Reps will push for end-of-quarter signature. Don't move first — let them initiate the discount. Target 15-30% off list plus negotiated terms.
Take this to your sales call
12 questions vendor sales teams steer around — generated from Augury's pricing tier, lock-in profile, and editorial verdict.
- 1PRICINGAugury is enterprise-tier — list pricing is rarely what enterprises actually pay. What's your typical discount on a 3-year commit paid annually upfront, and what's the smallest enterprise contract you've signed in the last 90 days?
- 2CONTRACTWhat's the year-2 and year-3 renewal price escalation cap if we sign a multi-year? Will you commit to a fixed cap in writing?
- 3CONTRACTAuto-renewal: how many days notice is required to terminate, and what happens if we miss the window? Will you commit to a renewal-reminder email at 90 and 60 days?
- 4MIGRATIONData export: what's the complete spec — format, frequency, and what data does the export NOT include? After contract end, how long do we have read-only access?
- 5MIGRATIONImplementation runs 1-3 months. That's a meaningful sunk cost. What's your fixed-fee implementation package, what causes overruns, and what guarantees do you offer if we miss go-live by 60+ days?
- 6MIGRATIONIf we'd need to migrate off Augury in year 2 or 3, what's the realistic effort — and have you helped a customer leave cleanly? Can you connect us with one?
- 7FITAugury is best for: Manufacturing and process plants with rotating equipment where unplanned downtime costs >$10K/hour.. We're [describe your situation]. Walk me through the failure modes if our profile doesn't match.
- 8FITConnect us with 2-3 reference customers at our company size in Manufacturing — not the case-study list, customers who've been live for 18+ months and have churned at least one tool from your stack.
- 9INTEGRATIONAugury lists 3 integrations including SAP, IBM Maximo, Microsoft Dynamics. Which of OUR existing tools — bring our list — have you confirmed shipping integration with versus "on roadmap"? Show me the actual status.
- 10VENDORTrack record over the last 18 months: any pricing model changes, executive departures, layoffs, M&A activity, or material customer churn we should know about?
- 11VENDORIf you're acquired or shut down, what's the contractual continuity — source-code escrow, data portability, transition period? Show me the actual clause.
- 12CONTRACTService level: what's the SLA on uptime, support response, and feature delivery? What's the financial remedy when you miss?
What to actually test in the demo
Vendor sales teams script demos to maximize close rate. Here's what they'd rather you not test — derived from Augury's lock-in profile and editorial verdict.
- 1PERFORMANCEBring YOUR data, not their demo data. Insist on running the demo workflow against a sample of your real records, files, or queries. If they refuse — that's a signal.
- 2PERFORMANCEAugury demo will be built around the happy path. Ask: "Show me what happens when [the most common failure mode in our context]" — make them improvise.
- 3EDGE CASESPush the limits live: largest dataset, longest workflow, most users concurrent. Vendors prep demos for medium loads — your real-world usage might 10x what they show.
- 4EDGE CASESMobile and offline behavior: how does Augury degrade on slow connections, on iPad, in airplane mode? Test in the demo if your team uses these surfaces.
- 5PRICINGWalk through the actual line items on a sample contract — not the marketing pricing page. Implementation fees, professional services, mandatory training, support tier, overage rates. Get the full bill modeled.
- 6INTEGRATIONVendors love their integration logo wall. Test the actual depth: pick the 2-3 (SAP, IBM Maximo-style) integrations you depend on most, and ask the rep to demo a real two-way data sync, not a marketing screenshot.
- 7INTEGRATIONAPI and webhook reality check: rate limits, payload size limits, retry behavior, auth refresh handling. Ask for actual API docs in the demo, not "we'll send those."
- 8MIGRATIONHIGH lock-in expected. Insist on a live demo of full data export — every field, every record, in a portable format. If the export takes >1 hour or requires their team to run it, that's a red flag.
- 9MIGRATIONAsk them to walk you through what happens to your data when the contract ends. How long is read-only access available? Can you self-serve final export? Get this in writing during the demo, not just verbally.
- 10SUPPORTSubmit a real support ticket DURING the demo. Use the actual support channel customers use, not the rep's email. Time the response. This is your most honest data point about post-sale reality.
- 11SUPPORTAsk to be connected with a customer in the demo who you can email TODAY (not "we'll arrange a reference call next week"). The vendor's confidence in their references is a tell.
