Horsham, Pa. – September 18, 2026 -- Augmentir has launched two conversational AI interfaces, Augie Command Center and Augie Procedure Studio, that let manufacturing staff build workflows, procedures, and AI agents by describing them in plain language rather than navigating software menus. The company unveiled the tools at IMTS 2026, positioning them as a replacement for traditional software navigation on factory floors.
Command Center Lets Frontline Leaders Deploy AI Agents Through Conversation
Augie Command Center allows users to analyze live operational data, build dashboards, schedule work, and create Industrial AI Agents without report builders, SQL, or coding. The system generates charts, insights, and recommended actions conversationally, then chains workflows, procedures, training, and integrations into a single deployed response rather than requiring separate tools for each step.
Procedure Studio Converts SOPs Into Interactive Digital Work Instructions
Users can describe a procedure in a sentence or upload an existing SOP, and Augie Procedure Studio generates an interactive digital procedure with instructions, safety warnings, checklists, data-entry fields, and confirmation signatures. Bulk import converts entire libraries of PDFs, Word documents, and spreadsheets into digital work instructions, while SharePoint sync keeps procedures current as source documents change.
Manufacturers Report Multi-Day Tasks Compressed Into Minutes
According to Augmentir, manufacturers using Command Center and Procedure Studio have compressed work that previously took days or weeks into minutes, with procedure authoring, workflow building, and AI agent deployment each completed in a single conversation without specialized platform expertise or developer support.
Patent-Pending Technology Draws on Connected Worker Platform Data
Augie's outputs are built on Augmentir's AI-native connected worker platform, which combines live work execution data, procedures, and asset performance history with workforce intelligence covering skills, certifications, and experience, plus connected ERP, MES, CMMS, QMS, and LMS data. Russ Fadel, CEO and co-founder of Augmentir, said operational experts should not have to become software experts, and that Augie orchestrates the platform based on what users describe.
Every AI Action Runs Inside Configurable Approval Gates
Because Augie acts on live operations, each customer sets approval gates determining what the system can execute autonomously versus what requires human sign-off. Role-based permissions restrict what Augie can touch, users preview changes before publishing, and every action is logged in an audit trail with version history and rollback capability.
Tools Are Generally Available to Manufacturers Now
Augie Command Center and Augie Procedure Studio became generally available as of the announcement. Augmentir counts Colgate-Palmolive, Hershey, Graphic Packaging, Mondelēz International, Armstrong World Industries, and Müller Group among the manufacturers using its connected worker platform.
