Case Study: Yaskawa Doubles Learner Adoption with Thought Industries

Yaskawa Doubles Manufacturing Learner Adoption Rates in Just 4 Months

Yaskawa, a global manufacturer of variable frequency drives, servo systems, machine controllers, and industrial robots, needed a better way to manage its customer training program at scale. Its in-house LMS lacked automation, forcing the team to rely on manual work such as grading tests by hand and creating a need for additional temporary help. Yaskawa turned to Thought Industries for a more automated, self-service learning platform.

Thought Industries implemented a new customer education platform for Yaskawa, including its Panorama multi-tenancy solution to support distinct learning paths and targeted learner groups. The result was a faster, more efficient training operation with better reporting and easier access to relevant content. Yaskawa saw over a 2x increase in learners, saved more than 80 days of work per person each year, and completed the transition to the platform in just 4 months.
