THE COMPANY
Augmented Industries: Revolutionizing manufacturing through human-centered AI
With the vision of empowering people and transforming the manufacturing industry, Augmented Industries’ generative artificial intelligence (AI) converts factory documents into micro-learning units. These provide workers with a personalized, interactive experience directly in the production process.
“70% of investments by European manufacturers are at risk due to the skills shortage. Training is more relevant than ever, but the available options are not fast enough to keep pace with industrial change,” says Dr. Elisa Roth, CEO.
“Our AI solution for companies helps manufacturers close the skills gap, increase learning effectiveness in factories by up to 26%, and reduce training costs by up to 62%.”
The company was founded by Forbes 30 Under 30 winners Dr. Elisa Roth and Dr. Mirco Möncks during their research at the University of Cambridge and the World Economic Forum.
"From start to certification in 2.5 months? – Achievable with Kertos. Our ISO 27001 certification was made a smooth process by the Kertos platform. The combination of technical innovation, extensive expert knowledge, and flexible adaptation to our company needs has truly impressed us."

THE CHALLENGE
Confirm trust and effortlessly navigate complex certification processes
For companies like Augmented Industries, ensuring information security and compliance with global standards is crucial. To meet their clients’ requirements, Augmented Industries sought an efficient, automated approach to information security management in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (ISO 27001)—an internationally recognized standard for information security management.
Before implementing automation solutions, managing comprehensive compliance processes and ISO 27001 certification across all systems was a challenge. Therefore, Augmented Industries needed a solution that could seamlessly integrate into their existing IT infrastructure from the outset and scale with their rapidly growing customer base.
THE SOLUTION
Accelerated process with Kertos' automated compliance solution
In search of a solution for scalable compliance processes, Augmented Industries chose Kertos’ compliance solution, known for its technical maturity and integrated expert support. Augmented Industries aimed not only to achieve ISO 27001 certification in the shortest time possible but also to optimize existing data and information security practices.
Vor der Nutzung von Automatisierungslösungen war die Verwaltung umfassender Compliance-Prozesse und der ISO 27001-Zertifizierung in allen Systemen eine Herausforderung. Augmented Industries benötigte daher eine Lösung, die sich von Beginn an in ihre bestehende IT-Infrastruktur integrieren ließ und mit ihrem schnell wachsenden Kundenstamm skalierbar war.

THE IMPACT
With the Kertos platform, Augmented Industries was able to scale compliance operations
By achieving ISO 27001 certification in just 10 weeks, the company realized a goal that previously seemed challenging. The combination of advanced technology and expert knowledge made the certification process smooth and efficient, significantly reducing the complexities and duration typically associated with compliance.
Before implementing automation solutions, managing comprehensive compliance processes and ISO 27001 certification across all systems was a challenge. Therefore, Augmented Industries needed a solution that could seamlessly integrate into their existing IT infrastructure from the outset and scale with their rapidly growing customer base.
Augmented Industries continues to set new standards in the manufacturing industry. The rapid and successful improvement of their compliance demonstrates how the company not only strengthens its operational security through the newly acquired ISO 27001 certification but also provides its customers with secure and trustworthy solutions—thereby establishing a new benchmark in the industry.
Through continuous improvement and adherence to the highest customer standards, Augmented Industries plans to further develop its information security management system, making a significant contribution to the transformation of the industry. “Ultimately, it’s not just about AI technology or certifications,” Elisa concludes. “It’s about empowering people on a large scale, democratizing the creation of training, and transforming manufacturing in a trustworthy and compliant manner.”
