Andy WhiteProduction Manager - Sterling Machining

"Now we use FourJaw we can see where we have capacity that we're not using" 

"You may have been in the position where you think you need to buy another machine. Because you think you’ve got a capacity problem, but now we use FourJaw we can see where we have capacity that we're not using."

"If you’d asked me, before FourJaw, what the cycle times were, I genuinely would not have known

"The data... facilitated conversations which were used to inform and educate operators, leading to a greater sharing of best practices, changed behaviours, and enhanced machine utilisation and productivity."

"A solution that is delivering real benefit from the top floor to the shop floor" 

"The Armac Martin management team felt the business had more production capacity but had no quantifiable measure of where that capacity was. They felt that a machine monitoring solution would provide the answer and turned to FourJaw for support"

"We've seen a parts increase of 65%" 

"Before FourJaw, a lot of our data was captured manually, paper forms, paper sheets. FourJaw has enabled us to identify where machines are underutilised, so we were getting quite empirical data driven evidence as to what we needed to do to improve performance in the machine shop."

"It’s has become an essential aspect of our production planning processes" 

"Sometimes, especially with a new job, we estimate production time based on similar components, but now we can see instantly how long the job actually takes."

"FourJaw was an easy investment to make and a giant leap forward in our digitisation journey" 

"It has been adopted as part of the culture of our organisation, improving efficiency and communication and providing objective data to inform production schedules, operational improvements and machine investment strategies."

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of data is collected, and how is it used?

Commonly collected data includes machine utilisation, downtime reasons, cycle times, and energy consumption. This data is used to monitor performance, identify inefficiencies, optimise workflows, and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

 

How Accurate is FourJaw's utilisation data?

Where conventional systems might read any spindle movement as "productivity", FourJaw accurately detects genuine, money-making productivity. For example, FourJaw can detect when a CNC machine is cutting metal, by observing the rise in current usage during actual work. 

This not only provides a more accurate measure of machine efficiency but also ensures consistency in data across all machines, facilitating better decision-making across your factory.

How does FourJaw Capture downtime?

FourJaw captures downtime data through a combination of its MachineLink hardware and tablets mounted on the machines.

When a MachineLink detects downtime, it automatically prompts the operator via the tablet to select the reason for this downtime from a predefined list.

This process is quick and non-disruptive, designed to minimise interruption to the operator's workflow.

By simplifying the input method to just a few taps, FourJaw ensures that accurate downtime reasons are recorded with minimal effort, enabling a comprehensive analysis of machine productivity and downtime causes without impeding your operators.

Is FourJaw a cost-effective alternative to traditional systems?

Yes. Unlike traditional machine monitoring solutions, we designed our machine monitoring platform to be accessible, not only did we make it easy to install (minimising disruption to your factory floor) but we also made it affordable.

We offer monthly payment plans and you can install it yourself, so there are no high upfront installation costs often associated with traditional machine monitoring solutions
