Founded in 2018 by the original creators of ThingWorx, Wonderware, and Lighthammer—pioneers in industrial software—Augmentir emerged from the recognition of a new industrial software revolution focused on frontline workers. The founders brought decades of experience in industrial software innovation, dating back to 1987 with Wonderware’s human-machine interface software. The idea for Augmentir arose from the alignment of technology and market forces enabling a fourth industrial revolution centered on AI-powered workforce productivity and quality improvements. Early traction included prototyping augmented reality (AR) tools in 2020 and securing high-profile industrial clients, which validated the platform’s value and led to continuous innovation, including the recent launch of AR extensions integrated with their AI platform[1][2][4].
