Rockwell Automation, Augury plan initial AI product access in September

Rockwell Automation and Augury said they plan to provide initial access from September to a joint industrial AI product for manufacturers.

Rockwell Automation said the partnership with industrial AI company Augury is designed to help manufacturers use AI for predictive maintenance, reliability and overall industrial performance. The US-headquartered automation company said manufacturers need a faster path from alerts to action.

Rockwell Automation said the combined offer uses products from both companies. The company said Augury's reliability agent continuously analyses machine conditions for potential problems and suggests ways to avoid or fix them, while Rockwell Automation's maintenance assistant turns those recommendations into maintenance workflows, work orders and execution steps.

Rockwell Automation said its own research indicates less than half of all collected data is being used effectively. The company said the partnership could also support future agentic AI development, alongside its stated goal of improving manufacturing efficiency.
