Case Study: Toyota achieves real-time assembly data capture and productivity gains with AppSheet

How Toyota leverages Appsheet to drive productivity at its manufacturing plant

Toyota, a pioneer of lean manufacturing, needed a way to collect and share detailed assembly-line data across its North American plants but was hampered by information trapped in spreadsheets and limited developer resources. Existing internal apps lacked mobile interfaces and couldn’t support on‑floor data collection, leaving ergonomists and design teams without timely, part-level visibility during model transitions.

Toyota adopted AppSheet’s no‑code platform to turn existing spreadsheets into mobile apps quickly, enabling on‑the‑fly capture of metrics like push force and worker comfort without developer time or upfront costs. The solution delivered real‑time, shareable part-level data that helps identify ergonomic and quality issues earlier, supports faster design adjustments, and promises broader productivity and quality gains as data are aggregated across plants and models.
