Case Study: Vatn achieves rapid automated AUV testing and mass manufacturing readiness with Nominal

Vatn - Customer Case Study

Vatn, a developer of autonomous underwater vehicles, faced significant challenges in scaling from prototype to mass manufacturing due to manual data analysis bottlenecks. Their rapid, daily testing generated vast amounts of data, but legacy spreadsheet processes slowed iteration and hindered their production readiness. To overcome this, they partnered with Nominal and implemented its automated testing pipeline and data infrastructure.

Nominal's solution automated the entire data validation process, delivering test results within five minutes of an AUV surfacing and replacing manual reviews with automated checklists. This allowed Vatn to increase its test cycles from one per day to dozens, eliminating manual data merges and providing fleet-wide test visibility. The results provided by Nominal gave Vatn the confidence to transition to full-scale production with a clear quality assurance process.
