Unmatched Reliability with TRACTIAN Smart Trac Ultra:

Outperforming Augury in Every Critical Aspect

Battery Life Guarantee

3-5 years with guaranteed support

Smart Trac
Ultra

ENDPOINT
3XS

Up to 3 years

Why This Matters

By outsourcing battery replacement to customers, Augury increases downtime and additional costs, without any public commitment to free in-person battery replacements.

TRACTIAN publicly commits to replace the whole sensor in-person and for free if the battery depletes before a minimum of 3 years.

Efficient battery management is critical for continuous wireless condition monitoring. TRACTIAN's advanced processing technology minimizes battery consumption, and we guarantee the life of our batteries. This ensures continuous operation and less burden on your team.

Mobile App Offering

Comprehensive monitoring for iOS and Android mobile phones

Installation Only

Why This Matters

Augury's mobile app is used for the installation process only and has limited capability.

Having real-time access to sensor data is crucial. With TRACTIAN Smart Trac Ultra's mobile app, you can monitor sensor data, receive real-time alerts, and access detailed analytics. This seamless connectivity enhances communication between teams and ensures efficient maintenance operations.

Gateway Range

Line of Sight:
3,000 feet
Inplant:
330 feet

Smart Trac
Ultra

ENDPOINT
3XS

Line of Sight:
Around 300 feet
Inplant:
Around 50 feet

Why This Matters

Augury's range is limited to 50 feet within a plant due to their 2.4GHz communication protocol, requiring more gateways, increasing complexity and costs, and introducing more points of failure.

Having an extensive communication range from sensor to gateway is essential. The TRACTIAN Smart Trac Ultra offers a robust range of up to 330 feet within plant and up (and up to 3,000 feet Line of Sight), thanks to its proprietary 915 MHz communication protocol, minimizing the number of gateways needed and reducing infrastructure costs.

On-Premise Support by Maintenance Veterans

Onboarding and Training included

Remote-first

Why This Matters

Augury's training and onboarding strategy is remote-first with the majority of their project managers being new to manufacturing, which can create inefficiencies and added burdens for your maintenance team. In-person installation is typically outsourced to non-Augury employees.

TRACTIAN's professionals have extensive experience in maintenance and manufacturing, and our philosophy is in-plant-first, including training and onboarding as part of our standard implementation process. This ensures your team is well-supported, enhancing overall efficiency.

AI Offering

Data Capture every 5 minutes

Data Capture every 60 minutes

Why This Matters

Augury's data collection standard is once every 60 minutes while TRACTIAN collects every 5 minutes. Both TRACTIAN and Augury have AI patents and provide machine diagnostics, but TRACTIAN's higher data collection rate allows for many more data points to provide timely insights with precision, ensuring superior monitoring.

Maintenance Management Suite

Additional Tools: Maintenance Management (TracOS) and Efficient Energy Management (Energy Trac)

Vibration Sensor Only

Why This Matters

While Augury only offers a vibration sensor solution, TRACTIAN delivers a full suite of smart tools. Our Smart Trac sensor, CMMS TracOS™ software, and Energy Trac monitor work together to keep your operations running smoothly. They detect issues early, streamline maintenance, and optimize resources, reducing downtime and costs while boosting efficiency. With real-time insights and data-driven decisions, TRACTIAN ensures top-notch asset management and operational control.

A solution for every stage
of your maintenance operations.

More than a Vibration Sensor, we have a end-to-end solution.

Total Predictive Maintenance

Having both the sensor and the CMMS from TRACTIAN allows for a complete maintenance management cycle —from detection to prognosis and action.

AI-Assisted Maintenance

Equipped with Auto Diagnosis™, Smart Trac Ultra feeds directly into the CMMS, enabling instant, informed responses to potential issues.

EMS - Energy Management System

The integrated Energy Management System offers sophisticated tracking and analysis of energy consumption, helping you to achieve significant cost savings and promoting sustainable operational practices.

Advanced Maintenance KPIs

By harnessing the collective strength of CbM, AI-Assisted Maintenance, and our integrated EMS, TRACTIAN provides an unparalleled suite of KPIs all in one dashboard. Gain insights into every aspect of your maintenance operations, from energy efficiency to predictive maintenance scheduling, all contributing to a streamlined, data-driven decision-making process.

From a maintenance standpoint, TRACTIAN gives a lot better transparency to our machinery. There are some faults that are more critical, there are some that are less critical, but it's all critical. So our goal is to stop the devices from failing on their terms.

We can detect a device that is out of spec and have a replacement ready. If it's possible, we'll go ahead and pull that equipment and have it serviced.

When we were conducting all the evaluations with vendors, what really stood out to me about TRACTIAN was the analytics that they brought, like I was really impressed by the reliability metrics that they were able to calculate in real time, the level of detail when it comes to the failure modes and the insight generation.

One thing that doesn't get talked about as much, especially up front, is the user-friendliness of the systems. That was one thing I was really blown away by, the ease of use of TRACTIAN's system compared to all the other solutions I saw. It is so easy to use the system.
