Manufacturers consistently tell us they want to become more data-driven—but the reality is, production data can be overwhelming. Too often, the insights that matter are buried in spreadsheets or scattered across disconnected systems.
That's exactly why we recently launched a major upgrade to FourJaw’s analytics platform, designed to make it easier than ever for manufacturers to access the information they need to improve productivity and performance. The new release introduces customisable production dashboards and automated reporting capabilities that give every level of a manufacturing organisation, whether on the shop floor or in the boardroom, instant access to the insights that matter most.
These upgrades were developed in response to a challenge we hear from manufacturers time and again: The desire to be more data-driven, without being overwhelmed by complex or fragmented systems.
Our new production dashboards provide a powerful solution, enabling users to quickly and easily build bespoke reports that surface the most relevant information for their specific roles. With an expanded widget library and improved user experience, dashboards can be assembled in minutes, making it simpler than ever to stay on top of factory performance.
Combined with FourJaw’s plug-and-play IoT hardware—which can connect to machines of any age or brand—our upgraded platform gives manufacturers a live, real-time view of machine utilisation across a single site or multiple facilities. Leaders can view high-level production metrics across an entire factory, while still being able to drill down into specific teams, machines, or operators to understand what’s driving performance or holding it back. The result is total factory visibility and the ability to identify continuous improvement opportunities with clarity and speed.
On the shop floor, we’ve also made important improvements to the tablet interface used by machine operators. A more intuitive design and new automation features mean that downtime logging is easier, faster, and requires less manual data entry—saving time and reducing errors. Automated reporting further reduces the admin burden by delivering key insights straight to your inbox, on a schedule that works for you.
Commenting on the launch, FourJaw CEO Chris Iveson said:
“Most manufacturers we speak to want to become more data-driven, and everyone is keen to boost productivity. These upgrades provide manufacturing performance dashboards that put the right information in front of the right people at the right time, allowing them to address production issues fast, make more informed decisions around teams and machines, and take steps to improve performance and the productivity of their production facilities.”
This release marks the first major step in the next generation of FourJaw’s platform and reflects our commitment to making factory intelligence accessible, actionable, and easy to use. By giving manufacturers a complete, real-time view of their operations and the tools to act on it, we’re helping them unlock higher productivity, better decision-making, and stronger operational performance.
