A maintenance manager walks into the daily production meeting. The plant manager asks: "How are our machines doing?"

The honest answer — "Well, the hydraulic pump on Press 4 is showing elevated vibration in the 3× RPM harmonic, suggesting possible misalignment, and the spindle motor on CNC-7 has been drawing 12% more current than baseline, which could indicate bearing degradation, and..." — puts the room to sleep by sentence two.

What the plant manager actually wants is a number. A score. A simple indicator that says: this machine is healthy, this one needs attention, this one is going to break.

That's what a machine health scoring system provides. Here's how to build one that's practical, accurate, and actually used.

If you've been evaluating vibration monitoring and machine health platforms, Augury's name has probably come up. Their sensor-based approach to predictive maintenance has earned attention from manufacturers across food & beverage, chemicals, and consumer goods.

But when it comes to pricing, Augury follows the same playbook as most enterprise IIoT vendors: no public pricing, mandatory sales calls, and quotes that vary wildly based on how many machines you're monitoring.

Let's break down what Augury actually costs in 2026 — based on publicly available information, industry analyst reports, and what manufacturing engineers report paying.
