Quarterly Product Roundup – Edition #2

Welcome to the second edition of our quarterly product updates.
Over the past few months, we’ve been focused on making FourJaw’s new dashboards even more powerful, flexible, and user-friendly. From intelligent reporting and faster setup to real-time visibility and automated labelling, these updates are designed to save your team time, improve decision-making, and drive shop floor performance.

Here’s a round-up of what’s new—and a look at what’s coming soon.

New Features Now Available


Star & Duplicate Dashboards

Your most-used dashboards, now just one click away.

We’ve made it easier to stay focused on what matters:

  • Star dashboards to pin them to the top of your sidebar for fast access.
  • Duplicate dashboards or widgets to quickly test ideas, create temporary views, or explore a problem without starting from scratch.

Whether you’re tracking a short-term initiative or spinning up a quick analysis, it’s now much faster to get the insights you need.

Share & Schedule Dashboards

Get the insights you need - without the admin.

  • Schedule dashboards to be delivered to your inbox when you need them—daily, weekly, or ahead of that next production review.
  • Share dashboards with colleagues to align on metrics and maintain a single source of truth.
  • Print-ready formats make meeting prep and updating visual boards effortless.

“One setup, and now the whole team’s aligned. It’s become the one source of truth.” 

 

Tablet Downtime Auto-Labeller

Smarter labelling during setups and shift changeovers.

Operators can now select a downtime reason and apply it for a set period—for example, “Setup for 45 minutes.” All downtime during that window is labelled automatically.

  • Saves operators' time
  • Improves data accuracy
  • Perfect for frequent short stops, breaks, or multi-machine environments

It’s a simple addition to make operators that little bit easier and should have a big impact on shop floor efficiency.

New Features COMING SOON


Timeline as a Widget – Coming This July

One of FourJaw’s most popular tools is getting a major upgrade.

In July, we’ll be releasing the new Timeline widget into the dashboard library. This is a significant leap forward from the classic Timeline view, designed to give you more flexibility and visibility than ever before.

  • Auto-refreshing with live data – no more refreshing or reselecting time ranges
  • Fully embeddable – add the Timeline to any dashboard
  • Multiple views – view timelines side-by-side for comparison
  • Combine with other widgets – monitor performance in real time, in context

It’s everything you loved about Timeline—rebuilt for speed, flexibility, and deeper insights.

What's Next?

Thanks to the positive feedback on FourJaw New, we’ll soon be directing all users to the new experience by default when they log in. This is part of our wider transition away from the Classic version as we move fully into FourJaw New.

To change your login details, simply head to your current FourJaw account and click on the button in the banner.

It’s all part of our commitment to making FourJaw better every day. And don’t worry—we’ll always keep you in the loop, so you can take full advantage of every new feature as it lands.

Look out for the next product release communications in October.
