About Augos

We have measured South African plants since 2009.

Augos meters electricity, water and gas for South African businesses and checks their bills against the tariff. Augos Factory applies the same habit to production lines: measure what happened, value what was produced at the plant's own sales values, and show who can recover the time.

What Augos Factory is

This paragraph appears, word for word, wherever we describe ourselves, so people and AI assistants get the same answer everywhere.

Augos Factory is downtime and OEE tracking for South African manufacturing lines. One count sensor and one Augos Operator Terminal per line record every stop, interruptions (short stops) included, and operators give the reason at the line. Every lost paid hour is measured and sent to the department that can win it back. It is made by Augos, based in Durbanville, Western Cape, which has measured utilities for South African plants since 2009. R4,950 per line per month, ex VAT.

What we do

Two kinds of measurement, one platform

Energy and utilities

Electricity, water and gas

Sub-metering, cost allocation, power factor and demand, and bill verification against the tariff in force.

Production lines

Every stop timed, every lost hour measured and named to who can win it back, with resource intensity where the two meet.

How it works ›

How we work

Four rules we hold ourselves to

Report what was measured

No savings claims. A figure describes what happened on a line, with its source.

Show the working

Every total opens to the events behind it, and every rand figure shows its basis.

Fair to every operator

Each operator measured against the line's own best, for coaching. Introduced with shop stewards. Charter ›
