PepsiCo

PepsiCo had a clear business target to reduce unplanned downtime across its manufacturing operations. The company evaluated multiple technology providers through an objective side-by-side assessment but needed a solution that could deliver operational excellence at the scale and complexity of a global snack food manufacturer.

PepsiCo Labs selected Augury as the best-fit solution after a competitive evaluation, deploying Machine Health monitoring across North American manufacturing facilities. The system converts acoustic and vibration data from equipment into actionable machine health insights, enabling maintenance teams to address developing issues before they cause production interruptions.

PepsiCo achieved measurable reductions in unexpected breakdowns, production interruptions, and incremental costs for replacement parts on monitored assets. The BBC Click program featured PepsiCo's success, highlighting how the technology turns sounds of snack-making into actionable insights. Associates reported improved work experience as they could focus on delivering quality products rather than managing equipment crises.

• Competitive multi-vendor evaluation that selects the best-fit technology builds organizational confidence and accelerates adoption — PepsiCo tested several solutions before committing to Augury
• Reducing unexpected breakdowns has a dual benefit: direct cost savings and improved associate experience, which contributes to retention and quality
• AI machine health at scale in food manufacturing translates production floor data (vibration, acoustics) into a strategic operational advantage
