'This award reflects Fiberon's commitment to staying proactive with machine health and leveraging AI technology for better decision-making and results,' said Pat Knox, director manufacturing intel systems for Fiberon. 'Our team is driving impact by integrating ecosystems that change the game.'
A leader in machine health solutions, Augury uses artificial intelligence technology to continuously monitor manufacturing and industrial machines to detect potential faults early. Fiberon is using this technology on 140 machines. In an early pilot, Fiberon's New London facility was identified as being in the top 5% of Augury customer sites based on high response rates, IoT (Internet of Things) serviceability, number of active users and quantified wins. It's this human-side of the technology that is celebrated in the Spotlight Awards.
'It's not enough to provide an alert just in time. If there's no one on the other side to take action to repair the machine, we won't achieve anything,' said Saar Yoskovitz, co-founder and CEO of Augury. 'The most impactful industrial AI use cases come to life on the factory floor, but they succeed only when site teams embrace the cultural transformation AI brings. This award celebrates Fiberon's dedication to its organization and to setting a new standard for advanced manufacturing excellence.'
In addition to machine health and cost savings success, Fiberon's New London plant also saw tangible impacts in other critical areas like safety, equipment lifespan and team efficiency.
'Above all, investing in these types of proactive solutions ensures that we are consistently delivering first-rate products to our customers,' said Kevin Fein, general manager for Fortune Brands Innovations Outdoors. 'Our New London team has put in a lot of hard work to prove that the Fiberon name is backed by quality and reliability.'
