Toyota manufacturing bought down by full hard-drives
 

Could not eat another thing

Toyota says a recent disruption of operations in Japan-based production plants was caused by its database servers running out of storage space.

On 29 August, Toyota halted 12 of its 14 Japan-based car assembly plants due to an undefined system malfunction.

As one of the largest automakers in the world, the situation caused production output losses of roughly 13,000 cars daily, threatening to impact exports to the global market.

In a statement released today on Toyota's Japanese news portal, the company said the malfunction occurred during a planned IT systems maintenance event on 27 August. The scheduled maintenance was to organise the data and deletion of fragmented data in a database.
