Case Study: Yaskawa achieves efficient, cost-effective Q-Pulse training with Ideagen's Gael Academy

Gael Academy helps Yaskawa deliver efficient and cost-effective training

Yaskawa Electric UK, a global drives manufacturer with a production site in Cumbernauld, needed a consistent, efficient way to train a broad user base on Q-Pulse without pulling staff away from their work or creating inconsistent learning paths. With many users requiring routine or refresher training rather than full implementation courses, the company sought a scalable solution that could be centrally managed by their Q‑Pulse administrator.

Yaskawa adopted Ideagen’s Gael Academy — an on‑demand library of 24/7, bite‑sized Q‑Pulse courses — and prescribed training plans for all users while monitoring progress centrally. The approach delivered cost‑effective, repeatable training, increased licence utilisation, reduced downtime, and helped staff quickly grasp the system’s practical simplicity, producing a more consistent and effective use of Q‑Pulse across the business.
