FourJaw provides production and leadership teams the evidence to decide where intervention will have the greatest effect. Use it to review shift performance, remove recurring causes of downtime, rebalance work, test process changes and build stronger cases for staffing or capital investment.

• See which machines are running, idle or stopped during the shift

• Identify the downtime causes responsible for the most lost production time

• Compare performance across machines, shifts, production areas and sites

• Track output and work order progress against production requirements

• Measure the effect of improvement activity using the same baseline

FourJaw can be used alongside ERP and MES platforms. It provides real-time shop-floor information that helps manufacturers understand what happened during production and why.

FourJaw is a machine monitoring and production analytics platform that provides real-time visibility into machine utilisation, downtime, productivity, and factory performance. Unlike traditional MES and ERP systems, which can be complex, expensive, and time-consuming to implement, FourJaw is designed to be simple, affordable, and quick to deploy.

FourJaw connects to both modern and legacy manufacturing equipment without complex integrations, allowing manufacturers to start collecting and analysing production data within days rather than months. While MES and ERP systems often focus on planning, scheduling, and business processes, FourJaw provides the real-time production monitoring and factory visibility needed to identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, improve OEE, and increase manufacturing productivity.

Many manufacturers use FourJaw alongside their existing MES or ERP system to gain the real-time shop floor insights that traditional systems often lack.

 FourJaw is used by manufacturers across a wide range of industries, including  aerospace and automotive to food & beverage, metals, and medical devices. Whether you run a small job shop or a global production facility, FourJaw helps your operations, engineering, continuous improvement, finance, and leadership teams make better decisions based on live, reliable production data.

We’re proud to support a diverse customer base:

• Over 50% are SME manufacturers
• 25% have global revenues exceeding £100 million
• More than 10% of these turnover £1 billion or more annually

Manufacturers using FourJaw typically achieve productivity improvements of 10% to 30% within a few months of implementation. By providing real-time visibility into machine utilisation, downtime, production performance, and energy consumption, FourJaw helps manufacturers identify lost capacity, reduce inefficiencies, and make faster, data-driven decisions.

FourJaw enables manufacturers to:

• Increase machine utilisation and production output

• Reduce unplanned downtime and production delays

• Identify and remove bottlenecks

• Improve OEE and factory productivity

• Reduce energy waste and operating costs

• Optimise capacity planning and workload balancing

• Support continuous improvement initiatives such as Lean, Kaizen, and SMED, all backed by measurable ROI.

By turning machine data into actionable insights, FourJaw helps manufacturers improve operational performance, increase profitability, and achieve measurable return on investment from their existing machines, people, and production lines. 

Read what our customers have achieved. 

FourJaw's production monitoring system is a plug-and-play manufacturing analytics platform that gives manufacturers real-time visibility into machine performance, downtime, utilisation, productivity, and factory output.

Manufacturers use FourJaw to monitor every machine, shift, line, and site from one connected system. This helps production teams identify bottlenecks, reduce unplanned downtime, improve machine utilisation, increase OEE, and make faster data-driven decisions that improve manufacturing efficiency and output.

FourJaw can monitor almost any mains-powered manufacturing machine, including mixed fleets of modern and legacy equipment. Its non-invasive approach does not rely on access to the machine PLC.
