Azumuta Connected Worker Platform

Azumuta is a Belgian software company founded in 2016 in Ghent, where it is still headquartered, with further offices in Detroit and Paris. It digitizes shop-floor work for manufacturers that still rely on paper instructions, checklists and spreadsheets, and reports about 100 manufacturers on the platform in more than 30 countries.

The cloud platform combines connected-worker tools with MES functions: digital work instructions with video, images and 3D files, quality checks, audits and digital checklists, a skill matrix with training records, CAPA management, job order tracking and dashboards. Azumuta Intelligence adds AI features for content creation and analysis. Mobile apps run on tablets at the workstation, and the platform links to ERP systems, smart torque tools and BI software. Users include Toyota, Atlas Copco, Adient and Nitto.

• Digital work instructions: step-by-step guidance with video, images, 3D files and issue tickets.
• Quality assurance: in-process checks, defect registration and CAPA management.
• Audits and checklists: digital layered audits, maintenance audits and ISO compliance forms.
• Skill matrix and training: tracks operator qualifications and onboarding progress.
• MES functions: job order tracking, manufacturing traveler, kitting and torque tool data.
• Dashboards and AI: reports, Power BI export and Azumuta Intelligence for automation.

An electronics or machinery assembler in a Vietnamese industrial park could replace paper work instructions with tablet guidance and train new operators faster. A supplier preparing for customer audits could digitize layered audits and CAPA records. A furniture or metal workshop could use the skill matrix to plan shifts.

Azumuta reports a 63% increase in quality, a 27% productivity increase reachable within three months and a 99% reduction in paper use. Work instructions can be updated centrally and pushed to every station, which reduces assembly errors. Skill matrices show who is qualified for each task, and a two-month joint pilot program lets a plant test the platform before a wider rollout.

Labor turnover and high product variety make paper-based instructions hard to maintain in assembly plants. Mid-sized manufacturers increasingly adopt connected-worker software that is lighter than a full MES. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, contract manufacturers serving European and Japanese customers face stricter traceability and audit demands.

Founded in 2016 in Ghent, Belgium, by co-founder and CEO Batist Leman. Azumuta raised an 8 million euro Series A in November 2025 and ranked 15th in the Deloitte Fast 50 Belgium. It has offices at Newlab in Detroit and Station F in Paris. The platform is ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 compliant.
