Customer Success Stories
Vayoom has been successfully deployed across multiple industries including automotive, industrial, aerospace & defense, medical devices, and other workflow based industries.
Case Study 1: Met Demand at Lower Cost
- Tier 1 automotive supplier of safety critical parts
- Cost of production exceeded negotiated price
- At risk of losing contract

O V E R V I E W
Production rate of 68-78 units/hr. was below the required 87 units/hr. Customer wanted 95 units/hr. extending production to weekends.
3 prior studies found no viable solution without capital investment. Each using bottleneck analysis approach over-estimated throughput. A new custom designed welder to increase throughput did not solve the problem either.

Case Study 2: Increased Flow & Flexibility
- Tier 1 automotive supplier of pickup truck axles
- Changes in market challenged demand and product mix
- Rigid high-speed line lacked flexibility to respond
O V E R V I E W
Changes in product demand and mix reduced profits significantly on a multi-product line. The process needed optimization for new market dynamics with lower demand and new product mix.
The current level of automation limited the ability to accept new products. Reconfiguration needed to deliver process flexibility and better financials.
