Rockwell Automation and Augury Partner to Advance Industrial AI Maintenance

ByAyshathul Mushrifa

Rockwell Automation and Augury have announced a strategic technology and go-to-market partnership to help manufacturers improve reliability, maintenance execution, and overall industrial performance through agentic artificial intelligence.

The joint offering integrates Augury's Industrial AI Workforce with Rockwell Automation's AI-enabled portfolio, including the Fiix® computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and FactoryTalk® Optix™, creating a connected workflow from machine condition monitoring to maintenance planning and execution.

A central element of the collaboration is the integration of Augury's Reliability Agent with Rockwell's Fiix MAX, an AI-powered maintenance assistant. Together, the AI agents continuously monitor machine health, identify emerging issues, recommend corrective actions, and convert those recommendations into maintenance workflows and work orders, creating a more connected path from insight to action.

According to Rockwell Automation's 11th annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report, only 43% of collected industrial data is being used effectively. The partnership aims to address this gap by connecting machine health insights and production data, enabling customers to better prioritize and act on improvements most likely to increase plant performance.

The partnership also creates a foundation for agentic workflows, extending the value of industrial AI beyond maintenance and into day-to-day operations. By integrating machine health intelligence with production context, manufacturers can achieve a more connected reliability workflow from early issue detection to continuous improvement.

Angela Rapko, Vice President and General Manager, Visualization and Asset Management at Rockwell Automation, stated:

"Manufacturers don't need more alerts, they need a faster path to action. By integrating Augury's Reliability Agent with Fiix MAX, we're connecting machine health intelligence directly to maintenance execution. Together, we're helping customers reduce the time between identifying a problem and resolving it while creating the foundation for future AI-driven maintenance workflows."

Elan Greenberg, CEO of Augury, stated:

"Manufacturers need AI that fits into how they operate. We built the Industrial AI Workforce to put trusted industrial intelligence in the hands of front-line teams. Partnering with Rockwell brings that intelligence with the systems that manufacturers rely on every day, making it easier to move from understanding what's happening to executing the right action."

The initial joint offering is expected to become available in September 2026, with additional availability and commercialization details to be announced closer to launch.
