DeepHow, Yazaki North America Agree to Deploy Time and Motion AI for Production Lines
DeepHow announced July 16, 2026, that it had partnered with Yazaki North America to deploy Time and Motion AI for production lines.
What happened
DeepHow announced July 16, 2026, an agreement with Yazaki North America, one of the world's largest automotive parts manufacturers, to deploy Time and Motion AI for production lines. The agreement was made through a collaboration between DeepHow and NVIDIA.
Why it matters
The agreement is significant because it shifts time-and-motion analysis on Yazaki North America's production lines from stopwatch-and-clipboard observation to a method that uses video to automatically capture cycle times for each process and classify work activities. According to the announcement, the system can make process execution visible while work proceeds naturally and is intended to change how process analysis is conducted while reducing variation from manual observation.
