Factory AI vs Augury:
Sensor-Agnostic + CMMS vs Proprietary Sensors
Both platforms deliver AI-powered predictive maintenance, but with fundamentally different approaches. Factory AI is sensor-agnostic and bundles PdM + CMMS in one platform, while Augury requires proprietary sensors and focuses solely on machine health monitoring.

Sensor-Agnostic vs Proprietary: Two Different Approaches
The core difference: Factory AI works with any sensor you already have and includes CMMS, while Augury requires its proprietary sensors and focuses on monitoring only.
Factory AI
Sensor-Agnostic PdM + CMMS Platform
Sensor-Agnostic Architecture
Works with any sensor brand, historian, SCADA, or PLC. No proprietary hardware lock-in. Use your existing infrastructure.
PdM + CMMS in One Platform
Predictive maintenance and CMMS bundled together. AI predictions flow directly into work orders -- no separate tools.
Brownfield-Ready, No-Code Setup
Deploy in under 14 days in existing plants. No data science team required. No proprietary hardware installation.
Augury
Proprietary Sensor Machine Health Platform
Proprietary Sensor Ecosystem
Requires Augury's own wireless sensors. Additional hardware cost and installation for every monitoring point.
Monitoring-Focused (No CMMS)
Focuses on machine health diagnostics. You need a separate CMMS for work orders, asset management, and maintenance scheduling.
Enterprise-Scale Focus
Primarily targets large enterprise customers. Longer deployment timelines with hardware logistics.

Feature
Factory AI
Augury
Sensor Requirements
Hardware approach and vendor lock-in
Works with any sensor brand, historian, SCADA, or PLC. No proprietary hardware required.
Requires Augury-branded wireless sensors. Additional per-sensor hardware cost.
CMMS / Work Orders
Maintenance management capabilities
PdM + CMMS in one platform. AI predictions flow directly into work orders.
Monitoring and diagnostics only. Requires separate CMMS integration.
Deployment Speed
Time to first value
No-code setup using existing sensors. Brownfield-ready with no hardware installation.
Requires physical sensor installation, and commissioning at each monitoring point.
Predictive Analytics
AI-powered failure prediction
Analyzes data from any source -- vibration, temperature, pressure, current, historian data
Advanced vibration and thermal analysis from proprietary sensors with pre-trained models
Target Market
Ideal customer profile
Purpose-built for mid-sized brownfield plants. Affordable per-monitoring-point pricing.
Primarily serves large enterprise manufacturers with significant capital budgets
Brownfield Compatibility
Works with existing plant infrastructure
Connects to existing sensors, historians, and SCADA. No new hardware needed.
Requires installing Augury sensors on each machine. Can supplement existing infrastructure but adds new hardware.
Why Manufacturers Choose Factory AI
