Compatible With Any Machine

Our MachineLink IIoT device can be easily and quickly self-installed on any manufacturing machine, regardless of brand, type or age.

No Large Upfront Costs

With a simple self-installation, there's no need for upfront installation costs or costly ongoing maintenance contracts.

Can be Installed in Minutes

Our MachineLink hardware can be installed in as little as 10 minutes and it doesn't require any PLC integrations.

"FourJaw's machine monitoring solution has helped to quantify our initial thinking and put some value to it so that we could make more-informed data-based decisions. The recent product enhancements have made FourJaw a solution that is delivering real benefit from the top floor to the shop floor, it’s the team’s operational tool"

Rob McGrailArmac Martin CEO

"Initially, the guys on the shop floor were a little reluctant but soon became interested to see how it worked. It didn’t take long for them to become competitive. We have seen examples where the guys have competed to get the best machine efficiency scores resulting in utilisation going from 75% to 100%".

Frequently Asked Questions

What is manufacturing analytics? Manufacturing analytics involves collecting and using data to make manufacturing processes more efficient. Manufacturing analytics software gathers data from various sources within a factory or production line, such as machines. Manufacturers can then use this information to make decisions that drive improvement and optimise processes.

What are the goals of manufacturing analytics? The ultimate goal of manufacturing analytics is the ability to leverage insights to make data-driven decisions that increase efficiency. Manufacturing analytics tools enable everyone in a business, from CEOs and managers to factory floor workers, to act on accurate, real-time data.

What are the benefits of manufacturing analytics tools?

Benefits of manufacturing analytics include:

Improved efficiency: Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the manufacturing process.
Increased productivity: Reduce machine downtime with downtime monitoring and enjoy increased productivity in your business.
Make informed decisions: Manufacturing analytics solutions provide manufacturers with a wealth of data and insights that inform decisions such as staffing and machine purchases.
Reduce costs: Real-time monitoring allows you to spot issues as they arise. Reduce costs as a result of machine downtime, broken equipment and more.
Improve quality: By spotting defects and other related issues, manufacturers can act before quality is impaired.
Increased customer satisfaction: An optimised manufacturing process will increase efficiency and quality, which will ultimately lead to more satisfied customers.

Does manufacturing analytics improve OEE? OEE comprises three factors: Quality, Performance and Availability. Manufacturing analytics provides valuable insights on the performance of your machines and production lines, allowing manufacturers to make informed decisions that improve OEE.
