Augmentir Launches the World’s First AI-Powered Augmented Reality Platform for Industrial Organizations

Company’s easy-to-use Augmented Operations™ software platform combines Augmented Reality with Artificial Intelligence to transform the way humans work

HORSHAM, PA – March 26, 2019 – Augmentir, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise software for industrial companies, today announced the general availability of its Augmented Operations™ platform. The company’s software platform is the first of its kind to combine enterprise augmented reality (AR) with artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), empowering frontline workers to perform their jobs with higher quality and increased productivity while driving continuous improvement across the organization.

Increasingly, companies with frontline workers, including manufacturing and service organizations, are embarking on a path to digital transformation in the quest to become more agile, productive and seamlessly integrated. These efforts have stalled when trying to include those workers as it has been difficult to connect them into the digital thread of the business. This has created challenges in measuring and improving the productivity and quality of processes centered on the frontline workforce. With the ubiquity of mobile devices and emergence of smart glasses, all of the technical pieces are in place to remove this last barrier to digital transformation.

Augmentir’s Augmented Operations™ platform makes it simple for any sized company to digitize these human-centric work processes into fully augmented procedures, providing interactive guidance, on-demand training, and remote expert support to improve productivity and quality. In addition, Augmentir’s patent-pending platform uses its embedded AI engine to help build the most efficient augmented procedures and personalize them to the needs of each front-line worker. Most importantly, the insights and recommendations gained and shared during any hands-on assignment become instantly accessible throughout the enterprise workstream promoting constant improvement along the way. This not only supports individual colleagues in their day-to-day tasks, but also creates an unbroken digital thread through the business that underpins future continuous improvement efforts.

“With all the technology now available to augment the frontline workforce, the missing piece has been a software platform that is not only easy-to-implement and cost-effective, but also that enables organizational transformation,” says Russ Fadel, CEO Augmentir. “Our Augmented Operations platform is the first on the market that can be deployed in hours by companies of all sizes and one that was built on an embedded AI-engine to deliver insights that help companies continuously improve their performance.”

“With Augmentir, we converted our existing paper-based instructions and drawings and were up and running within a day. Their augmented procedures enabled us to standardize work across all technicians, improving quality and giving us the performance insights to help improve productivity,” stated Steve Thorne, General Manager of STRONGARM Designs, Inc. “Additionally, we were able to quickly add new technicians in order to meet increased customer demand and have them perform at the same level of our most experienced team members.”

“Augmentir is uniquely positioned to provide transformational value to industrial organizations by improving the productivity of the frontline workforce and extending value to all associated stakeholders within the organization,” stated Glen Allmendinger, President of Harbor Research. “By creatively combining enterprise augmented reality with integrated insights from artificial intelligence and machine learning, Augmentir is at the forefront of digital innovation providing new applied value to industrial organizations.”

Augmentir includes complete functionality that makes it easy for industrial companies to improve their operations across a range of manufacturing and service use cases, including AI-supported rapid authoring tools, powerful analytics, and remote expert capability for enhanced collaboration with workers in the field.

Augmentir’s True Productivity™ Surpasses 5 Million AI-Optimized Time & Motion Studies

The milestone ushers in a new era of autonomous improvement powered by industrial AI agents acting on real-time productivity insights from connected frontline workers.

November 5, 2025 – Augmentir, the world’s only Agentic AI platform for connected work, today announced that its patented True Productivity™ algorithm had surpassed 5 million AI-optimized time and motion studies. Since its launch in 2019, True Productivity has evolved into the gold standard for digital time and motion studies, giving manufacturers unprecedented visibility into frontline workforce performance and process efficiency — and, for the first time, enabling AI agents that act directly on these insights to drive measurable improvement.

The Next Generation of Frontline Workforce Efficiency

Already in use across more than 30,000 processes and performing over 150,000 time and motion studies each month in 70 countries, True Productivity has become the industry standard for understanding frontline performance. True Productivity combines the industry’s largest work execution dataset to provide unparalleled AI-driven noise reduction and agentic intelligence to automatically surface the most accurate and actionable insights at the process, skill, and procedure level.

Unlike traditional digital time and motion studies that overlook the noise inherent in frontline worker measurement — where as much as 30% of collected data can be unreliable — True Productivity automatically filters out this noise, pinpointing non-value-added time (NVT), process variability, and worker variability. The result is a clear, objective understanding of how work actually gets done, and where the greatest opportunities for productivity and training improvement exist.

Designed for Continuous Improvement Teams

Augmentir’s True Productivity not only provides unique insight into individual processes, but also automatically stack-ranks improvement opportunities at any level of the organization, including team, line, area, department, and facility. This simplifies the work of continuous improvement teams, enabling them to always focus on the largest opportunities for productivity and training improvements.

augmentir true productivity workforce intelligence

With the release of Augie™, manufacturers using the company’s AI Agent Studio can now easily build and deploy custom AI agents that automatically act on data from True Productivity. These agents can trigger targeted training interventions when skill gaps are detected, recommend process improvements based on efficiency trends, or flag standard work deviations for review.

This closed-loop system transforms continuous improvement from a manual, reactive process into an intelligent, autonomous cycle — accelerating results, reducing variability, and amplifying impact across the workforce.

“True Productivity combines the precision of AI-optimized analytics with the power of agentic automation,” said Russ Fadel, CEO of Augmentir. “It’s not just about measuring productivity — it’s about using AI agents to continuously improve it, across every process, every worker, and every site.”

Immersive Learning and AR-Driven Training

True Productivity also seamlessly integrates with Augmentir’s Industrial AR and immersive learning capabilities, enabling manufacturers to transform insights into more effective, targeted training experiences.

ai agent for frontline worker training using augmented reality

By connecting performance data directly to immersive workflows, companies can deliver personalized, context-aware training that addresses the specific opportunities identified by AI. Workers gain hands-on guidance in augmented reality environments, reinforcing learning and reducing time-to-competency — all while ensuring standard work is consistently followed.

Extending a New Standard for AI-Driven Industrial Optimization

As competitors focus narrowly on manual or video-based time studies, Augmentir’s Agentic AI platform combines real operational data, immersive AR experiences, and action-oriented intelligence to deliver a complete ecosystem for workforce excellence. This marks a new era for industrial performance — one where AI not only analyzes work but improves it autonomously.
