Industrial automation and digital transformation giant Rockwell Automation and Augury said they will join forces on a solution that will combine Augury's Industrial AI Worforce suite with Rockwell’s AI-infused portfolio that includes its Fiix computerized maintenance management system and its FactoryTalk Optix product.

FactoryTalk Optix specifically helps manufacturers move from early issue detection and diagnosis to maintenance planning, execution and continuous improvement through a connected reliability workflow.

The two companies noted in a release that their the partnership is all about enabling adopters to overcome the struggle of turning “insights into action,” with Rockwell citing its State of Smart Manufacturing Report, which revealed that only 43% of collected data is being used effectively.

“As manufacturers increasingly invest in AI and digital technologies, the ability to connect insights with execution has become a key driver of industrial performance,” according to their release.

And they emphasized that the partnership creates a foundation for agentic AI workflows.

“Manufacturers don't need more alerts—they need a faster path to action,” said Angela Rapko, VP and general manager, visualization and asset management, for Rockwell.

“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.”
