Studio
100% Offline Analysis • Multi-Video • Time & Motion Studies

See the hidden waste on your line — in five minutes, offline.

A stopwatch gives you a number and misses the variation. Yamazo Studio turns your shop-floor video into a Yamazumi chart, station by station — showing exactly where the time goes (value-add, required work, waste) against takt. The video never leaves your machine. Annual or perpetual license.

The reality on most shop floors

Most plants run below their potential — and the engineers who could close the gap are in short supply.

55–60%

Average plant OEE

Only ~6% of manufacturers sustain world-class 85%+ OEE — most operate well below their potential (Evocon, 3,500+ machines across 50+ countries, 2024).

100%

Data stays local

Production videos and analysis never leave your computer — full compliance with strict IT 'No Cloud' policies.

2.1M

Roles unfilled by 2030

Manufacturing's projected talent gap. Yamazo Studio multiplies the output of the industrial engineers you already have (Deloitte & The Manufacturing Institute, 2021).

Industry figures shown for context, not as Yamazo results. Measure your own gains in a pilot: if you could see the waste breakdown on one line within the shift, which decision would you make earlier?

Same footage; one gives you a number, the other changes the decision.

The waste a stopwatch misses — what does it cost you by month's end?

Without Yamazo Studio
  • Requires a dedicated work-measurement specialist on site
  • Time data lives in notebooks and spreadsheets with little context
  • Hours spent copying notes into charts and balance tables
  • Rework needed for every presentation-ready visual
  • Impossible to review motion detail once the moment has passed
  • Cannot track human–machine parallel operations accurately
  • No way to analyse multiple stations as unified timeline
  • Cloud-based alternatives need IT security review; air-gapped install is rare in this category

Performance Rating
Westinghouse rating system for normal and standard time calculation. Evaluate operator performance with standardized ratings. Rate operator speed and efficiency per round. Calculate standard times based on performance. Track performance metrics over time.
Measured Precision
Every study reports the precision it actually carries — for example 12 cycles · 58.4 s · ±9% — and derives how many more cycles reach your target from the measured spread. The data decides, not a fixed cycle count.
Review Surface
The engine's segmentation can be split, merged and re-classified by hand. The engine proposes, a person decides — no automatic output becomes a standard without approval.
Standard Work Combination Sheet (WCS)
Detailed station-based work analysis with parallel work detection. Separate timings for manual, machine, walk, and wait time. Gantt chart timeline view with cumulative tracking.
Mixed-Model Lines
Balance and study lines that run several products — each with its own demand, and a pacemaker product setting the line takt. The reality of automotive and electronics assembly.

Temotoka — Work Evaluation Form
25-criteria work evaluation methodology for operator motion assessment. Score movements across 5 categories: body posture, footwork, hand-arm motions, tool usage, and eye movements. Automatic loss calculation from 100-point baseline. Ratings from Excellent to Poor.
Daily OpEx Cockpit
A daily command view of your operation — key metrics, open improvements and where to act next, at a glance.
Professional Reporting
Generate polished PDF, Excel, CSV, and JSON exports. SOT facts with pivot tables, IKF with Gantt charts, Yamazumi with visual breakdowns.
Cycle Report
Pick a round, compare two rounds in chronological order, export to Excel. The value split, element table and ergonomics summary all read within the same round's scope, so the page never contradicts itself.
Audit Trail with Tamper Detection
Every data-changing action is logged automatically with its time, action and result. Records are linked by a SHA-256 hash chain, so a record edited or deleted after the fact is detectable — and the check runs from inside the app.
Runs Offline
Your production data never leaves the machine; analysis runs entirely on-device and there is no cloud account. Apart from a short licence-status ping once an hour and the update check, the app sends nothing; technical error reports are sent only with your consent and are off by default. All of it is switched off for air-gapped installs, where it runs fully offline.
Face Anonymisation
Chosen at import, never automatic. The video is decoded, the face pixels are destroyed and it is re-encoded — not an overlay, and not reversible. The source file is left untouched; deleting it is a separate, explicit confirmation. Detection uses body pose, not a face detector.
Turkish, English & German
Full interface in Turkish, English and German. Switch languages anytime. Perfect for global teams working together on lean projects.
Study Without Video: Stopwatch Study
Run a time study without any video. In a stopwatch study project, measure with Yamazo Studio's own stopwatch (Space: next element, Enter: finish cycle, Backspace: undo) or type the times into the table. Each cycle gets its own performance rating and allowances, and normal and standard time are computed from them. Yamazumi, PDF and Excel reports work without video too.
Works Council Status and Personal Privacy Mode
Record your works council status as one of three states: no works council, a works council without approval, or a works council with approval (with approval date, document number and scope). Every change goes into the audit trail, and the record never blocks an action. With personal privacy mode on, person-level views are closed and data that leaves the application carries the operator's ID instead of the name.
Setup Wizard
On first launch the wizard takes you through language, licence, classification, facility, department, line, station and works council. Steps can be skipped for now, and an unfinished setup picks up where it left off the next time you open the app.
Data Safety on Update
When an update will change the database, a backup is taken first and read back to verify it; if no verified backup can be made, the database is left untouched. If an update fails part-way, your data returns to its state before the update automatically, and the app tells you so. The failed copy is kept only on your computer for diagnosis. The problem report prepared for support contains no database, no records, no people's names and no licence key; nothing is sent automatically.

Time studies on the shop floor, from your phone

Yamazo Stopwatch measures cycle times in your phone's browser, with or without a network. Yamazo Studio reads the result.

Measure anywhere

Install the stopwatch on your home screen and time cycles and elements on the shop floor. It works without a network, and your measurements stay on the phone.

Get the list from Studio

In Yamazo Studio press “Give list to phone”, then on the phone choose “Get list from Studio” and point the camera at the QR codes; the list of facilities, departments, lines, stations and products comes to the phone. You can also measure without a list.

Show a QR code, not a file

When the study is done, the phone shows a QR code. Yamazo Studio reads it and, once you confirm, creates a project with the elements and every cycle.

No camera? Share as Excel

Share the measurement as an Excel file, send it to yourself, open it in Excel and paste the table into Yamazo Studio. No file is uploaded.

Paste from Excel

Already have a time table? Copy it in Excel with elements as rows and cycles as columns and paste it into Yamazo Studio. There is no file upload; performance rating and allowances are entered in Studio.

Studio's own stopwatch

Yamazo Studio has a stopwatch of its own too; a finished cycle lands in the time table as a column.
