Case Study: Elite Lubrication avoids costly chiller failure with Augury's Halo diagnostics

Elite Lubrication - Customer Case Study

Elite Lubrication Specialties used Augury’s Halo diagnostics solution at a critical chilled water facility serving the Midwest region, where the water and light board needed zero downtime and deep, actionable machine diagnostics. The challenge was to identify hidden equipment issues early enough to avoid disruption in a highly critical environment.

Using Augury’s diagnostics, Elite Lubrication Specialties uncovered a severe radial imbalance in a chiller that the OEM service contractor initially missed. After a third-party vibration analysis confirmed Augury was correct, operators adjusted chiller rotation to reduce load until repairs were completed, helping avoid an estimated $250,000 in hard replacement costs, plus additional labor, rental, fines, and fee-related expenses.
