    Augmentir develops a connected worker platform that leverages AI to digitize and optimize frontline work based on worker capability and task complexity. Its technology supports skills management, training, digital workflow, and collaboration for manufacturers and industrial customers in manufacturing, service, energy, and construction. In February the company expanded its AI platform to incorporate Generative AI and other foundational technologies underpinning ChatGPT. Led by CEO Russ Fadel, Augmentir positions its product to help manufacturers identify opportunities to improve training and optimize upskilling and reskilling programs. The company announced recent organizational growth with two senior hires: Kiyomi Otani as VP of Operations and Carsten Hunfeld as Director for EMEA. Augmentir intends to use new funding to expand its team, grow global sales and marketing, and accelerate product development and innovation. Augmentir offers a suite of AI-powered connected worker tools that help industrial companies understand and support their diverse frontline workforce at an individual level. The platform combines AI with digital workflows and remote collaboration to reduce the effort of onboarding, guiding, and supporting workers. Customers across manufacturing, service, energy, and construction use Augmentir to optimize frontline operations and drive performance support, training, and workforce development. The company serves industries including manufacturing, construction, utilities, oil and gas, mining, and field service. Augmentir is led by co-founder and CEO Russ Fadel and is based in Horsham, Pennsylvania. The company recently secured external financing to support growth.

Its flagship Augmented Operations™ platform combines enterprise augmented reality (AR) with artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to allow frontline workers to perform higher-quality work, increase productivity, and drive continuous improvement across organizations. The company closed a funding round for an undisclosed amount led by Pritzker Group Venture Capital with participation from Lerer Hippeau, other current investors, and HOLT Ventures. Augmentir plans to use the funds to expand its global footprint and further increase the functionality of the platform.
