Augury, a provider of industrial AI solutions for manufacturing, has announced new advancements in its Industrial AI Workforce initiative, introducing role-based AI agents designed to help manufacturers move from machine insights to real-time operational action.

Built on top of Augury’s Machine Health platform, the new AI agents combine machine health intelligence with operational context from AVEVA CONNECT and reasoning capabilities powered by Google Cloud’s Gemini models. The initiative aims to help manufacturers build more adaptive, autonomous, and self-optimizing production environments.

  • Augury introduced role-based Industrial AI agents for manufacturing operations
  • The solution combines Machine Health data, AVEVA CONNECT, and Google Gemini models
  • AI agents are designed for maintenance, reliability, and operations workflows
  • The platform uses an Industrial Context Graph for real-time operational reasoning
  • ICL Group is already testing the AI agents for yield analysis and root cause analysis
  • Augury will showcase the Industrial AI Workforce at AVEVA World in Milan

Augury Focuses on Role-Based Industrial AI Workflows

Augury said its Industrial AI Workforce is designed to support workers directly within their existing operational responsibilities instead of requiring teams to adapt to complex software systems.

The company’s AI agents function as digital operational partners tailored to the workflows of reliability, maintenance, and operations teams. The goal is to reduce operational inefficiencies caused by employees switching between disconnected industrial systems to gather information and resolve issues.

“Augury has built a reputation helping global industrial leaders master asset reliability through world-class Machine Health insights,” said Elan Greenberg, CEO of Augury. “Now, it's time to evolve from visibility to delivering an agentic offering that proactively supports the people running these plants.”

Industrial Context Graph Powers Real-Time Reasoning

At the center of the Industrial AI Workforce is Augury’s Industrial Context Graph, a continuously evolving intelligence layer that connects machine health data with operational, environmental, and process information.

The company said this unified data foundation enables AI agents to understand broader production-system relationships and reason about operational issues beyond individual machines.

“By combining Augury's Machine data with AVEVA's operational context and Gemini's reasoning capabilities, we've created a foundation with an Industrial Context Graph powering intelligent industrial agents,” said Anoop Mohan, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Augury. “This allows us to move beyond detecting problems to understanding them and guiding action in real time. We are incredibly grateful to our partners at AVEVA and Google Cloud and visionary customers like ICL who have embraced these agents and are working closely with us to bring this vision to market.”

ICL Group Validates AI Agent Use Cases

Global specialty minerals company ICL Group is already evaluating the Industrial AI Workforce within its operations.

The company said the agents have demonstrated potential in accelerating root cause analysis and improving production yield analysis for manufacturing teams.

“Augury's role-based agents allow us to respond quickly to market demands and maintain consistent product quality,” said Avi Boublil, R&D Director at ICL Iberia. “In our work with the Reliability and Operations agents, we have already seen the potential for much quicker Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on reliability issues and more sophisticated yield analysis, helping us deliver greater value to our customers.”

Google Cloud and AVEVA Support Industrial AI Expansion

The Industrial AI Workforce is built on Google Cloud through Augury’s Independent Software Vendor partnership, with Gemini models enabling advanced reasoning and contextual analysis capabilities.

“Gemini's ability to process long-term context and reason across complex datasets is a game-changer for the factory floor,” said Praveen Rao, Director of Manufacturing, Google Cloud. “With Augury's specialized Industrial AI agents built on Google Cloud, manufacturers can turn massive amounts of data into immediate, localized action.”

AVEVA also highlighted the integration of Augury’s machine intelligence into the AVEVA CONNECT ecosystem as part of its Managed Solution program.

“By integrating Augury's machine insights into the AVEVA CONNECT ecosystem leveraging the Managed Solution program, we are directly helping customers like ICL explore new ways to enhance and transform their operations,” said Martin Jetté, VP Partner Sales, Solution Providers at AVEVA.

Augury plans to preview the Industrial AI Workforce at AVEVA World in Milan, demonstrating how manufacturers can transition from reactive industrial operations toward AI-driven production systems.
