Leveraging Google Cloud and AVEVA, Augury’s role-based agents are being tailored to the daily workflows of reliability, maintenance, and operations teams.

MILAN, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Augury, a leader in industrial AI solutions for manufacturing today, shared its progress in developing the Industrial AI Workforce. Built on top of Augury’s proven Machine Health solution, new, role-based AI agents are designed to bridge the gaps between insight to action for manufacturers. By synthesizing Augury’s Machine Health data with operational context from AVEVA CONNECT and the advanced reasoning of Google’s Gemini models, manufacturers can now build self-optimizing, adaptive production environments.

“Augury has built a reputation helping global industrial leaders master asset reliability through world-class Machine Health insights,” said Elan Greenberg, CEO of Augury. “Now, it’s time to evolve from visibility to delivering an agentic offering that proactively supports the people running these plants.”

Agents built around the job, not the tech

Most industrial software asks workers to adapt to it. The Industrial AI Workforce flips that. The agents act as digital partners, tailored to the specific workflows and daily objectives of reliability, maintenance, and operations roles. Rather than adding another tool to a crowded tech stack, these agents are designed to eliminate “swivel chair” operations, the manual effort currently required for workers to jump between disparate systems to find answers.

Global specialty minerals leader ICL Group (ICL) is already validating the power of these agents to automate routine tasks and drive business outcomes.

“Augury’s role-based agents allow us to respond quickly to market demands and maintain consistent product quality,” said Avi Boublil, R&D Director at ICL Iberia. “In our work with the Reliability and Operations agents, we have already seen the potential for much quicker Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on reliability issues and more sophisticated yield analysis, helping us deliver greater value to our customers.”

Intelligence powered by the Industrial Context Graph

At the core of the Industrial AI Workforce is the Industrial Context Graph, a dynamic, continuously evolving enriched context layer that connects machine health signals with operational, process, and environmental data. This unified context enables agents to reason cognitively about cause-and-effect relationships across the production system, not just within individual machines.

“By combining Augury’s Machine data with AVEVA’s operational context and Gemini’s reasoning capabilities, we’ve created a foundation with an Industrial Context Graph powering intelligent industrial agents,” said Anoop Mohan, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Augury. “This allows us to move beyond detecting problems to understanding them and guiding action in real time. We are incredibly grateful to our partners at AVEVA and Google Cloud and visionary customers like ICL who have embraced these agents and are working closely with us to bring this vision to market.”

Built with AVEVA—and on Google Cloud

The Industrial AI Workforce is built on Google Cloud as part of Augury’s Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partnership, with Gemini models enabling the reasoning layer.

“Gemini’s ability to process long-term context and reason across complex datasets is a game-changer for the factory floor,” said Praveen Rao, Director of Manufacturing, Google Cloud. “With Augury’s specialized Industrial AI agents built on Google Cloud, manufacturers can turn massive amounts of data into immediate, localized action.”

“By integrating Augury’s machine insights into the AVEVA CONNECT ecosystem leveraging the Managed Solution program, we are directly helping customers like ICL explore new ways to enhance and transform their operations,” said Martin Jetté, VP Partner Sales, Solution Providers at AVEVA.

Augury will preview the Industrial AI Workforce at AVEVA World in Milan, showcasing how manufacturers can move from reactive operations to AI-driven, autonomous production.

SHANGHAI, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following its successful collaboration with WorldSkills Lyon 2024, INTAMSYS has once again been named the exclusive FFF 3D printing sponsor of the 48th WorldSkills Competition, scheduled to take place in Shanghai in 2026.

As part of the preparations for the event, INTAMSYS recently supported the centralized assessment and mock competition for training. The company provided equipment deployment, material supply, and full-cycle technical support across four skill areas: 05 Mechanical Engineering CAD, 57 Additive Manufacturing, 59 Industrial Design Technology, and 64 Unmanned Aerial Systems.

Throughout the competition, INTAMSYS worked closely with organizers and technical teams to ensure stable equipment operation, consistent printing performance, and timely on-site support. Following the event, the WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 Executive Bureau issued a letter of appreciation, recognizing the company’s contributions to event organization, technical services, operational stability, and communications.

The renewed partnership reflects the demanding technical standards of the WorldSkills Competition. In areas such as additive manufacturing, industrial design, mechanical engineering, and unmanned aerial systems, 3D printing serves as a key link between digital design, engineering validation, functional manufacturing, and real-world applications.

Competition equipment must therefore do more than simply produce parts. It must operate reliably under intensive conditions, maintain consistent results across different users and tasks, and support engineering requirements comparable to those in industrial environments. These expectations align with the core value of industrial-grade FFF technology: stable, repeatable, and verifiable manufacturing performance.

By supporting multiple WorldSkills competitions, INTAMSYS has demonstrated its strengths in industrial-grade FFF technology, event support, technical coordination, and global service delivery.

Looking ahead, INTAMSYS will continue connecting vocational skills education with advanced manufacturing by bringing industrial standards, process expertise, and real-world application experience to the WorldSkills stage, helping more young professionals develop the capabilities required for the future of manufacturing.
