Case Study: Leading Pharmaceutical Company prevents $300,000 in downtime with Augury

Leading pharmaceutical company boosts productivity by digitally transforming their manufacturing process with Augury

Leading Pharmaceutical Company, one of the world’s top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers, was struggling with unexpected equipment failures that disrupted clean room air supply, increased maintenance costs, and hurt productivity across its supply chain. The company needed a better way to understand machine health and move beyond reactive maintenance, and turned to Augury’s Digital Machine Health and Performance solution.

Augury implemented a full-stack machine health program, including hardware installation, diagnostics, training, and change management, to monitor critical assets such as air handling units, incubator fans, chilled water pumps, and displacement pumps. Machine learning detected bearing wear in two critical AHUs before failure, helping the team avoid an unplanned shutdown that could have cost up to $300,000 in repairs and lost product, while enabling planned maintenance without disrupting production.
