Augos Factory · Case studies

Nine production lines. Every result measured.

Anonymised plants on Augos Factory. Every number below comes from the platform, not from a survey.

Packaging and bags · Packaging manufacturer
33%Of the line's time in planned downtime

What monitoring reveals when you leave it running

One line, watched continuously for four months. Planned downtime took a third of its time, and the trend kept surfacing slow drifts a one-off audit would miss.

9,848Stops in the first monitored month

The filler was not the problem

A beverage bottler blamed its filler for a line that kept stopping. The first month of monitoring showed 9,848 stops, nearly a quarter of paid time spent waiting, and an air-supply loss of over 34 hours.

3Shifts on one live board

Three shifts, one live board

A three-shift bag maker tracked output on paper, one number per shift. Demand was rising and nobody could say whether the machines had headroom. A live record of every stop answered it with data.

26.5%Starting OEE

218,000 tiny stops, hidden in one bucket

No single breakdown, yet OEE sat at 26.5%. The losses were 218,000 interruptions lumped into one uncategorised bucket, until a change in data resolution made them visible.

Food and beverage · Grain milling operation
3,000 → 445Monthly downtime events

From 3,000 vague stops to real reliability data

A mill logged 3,000 downtime events a month with almost no root-cause value. Re-linking every event to a specific asset cut recorded events to 445 and surfaced a single component behind 20% of downtime.

Paint and coatings · Paint & coatings manufacturer
16.5% → 44.7%True OEE, after fixing the data

The factory that wasn't broken

A plant reporting an alarming 16.46% OEE wasn't underperforming, it was being measured wrong. Reclassifying mislogged 'Power Off' time and correcting quality inputs lifted the true figure to 44.70% and exposed the real bottleneck.
