Augury’s “2024 Machine Health Is Business Health” Report Outlines the Current State of Asset Maintenance and Its Top Roadblocks

The report, conducted by Plant Services, compares year-over-year insights from manufacturers, highlighting persistent workforce concerns and increased optimism in production

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Augury, a leading provider of AI solutions that help industrial and manufacturing companies increase their productivity, efficiency, and reliability, today released its 2024 Machine Health Is Business Health report from Plant Services, which outlines challenges, risks and preferred solutions in maximizing machine health and mitigating unplanned downtime. The report builds on year-over-year findings, featuring insights from more than 200 manufacturing professionals from both corporate and plant-level career paths.

“Our latest report uncovered that only 14% of manufacturers deploy prescriptive asset maintenance while the vast majority succumb to reactive approaches,” said Saar Yoskovitz, co-founder and CEO of Augury. “At the same time, the manufacturing industry is facing a growing talent gap that will continue to widen as tenured industry stalwarts march quickly toward retirement. A catastrophic downtime event should not be what propels these leaders into the AI era. The adoption of AI-driven machine health technology can ensure that manufacturers are as efficient as possible with the skilled talent they have, enabling them to be strategic and proactive in their decisions to eliminate downtime.”

Industrial sector competitiveness–if not business viability–demands that manufacturers embrace purpose-built AI technology in their plants. The industry is beyond the point of ‘wait and see.’ Leading manufacturers are adopting advanced technologies, gaining ROI, and seeing operational value: the ability to minimize costly downtime, preserve industry knowledge, and streamline operations has a real and direct impact on their overall business performance.

To help industrial leaders drive success, the 2024 Machine Health Is Business Health report is broken into three standout parts, including:

• The top manufacturing challenges for 2024 through the eyes of the plant floor and corporate office
• Production roadblocks and risks, including a significant year-over-year increase in labor-resource risk
• The current state of maintenance and which approach ranks first for manufacturers
