Customer Testimonials

Sean ThomasHead of Operations

"FourJaw has delivered a significant and sustained improvement in the productivity levels we're getting from our manufacturing centres."

Monitoring downtime, eliminating the various causes of waste in our processes, and deploying colleagues to where they are needed most has helped achieve a 30 per cent overall increase in uptime.

Charlie StothardProcess Improvement

“FourJaw is helping us move towards 4.0 based on our S&OP.”

It allows us every month to analyse with the directors to see our strengths and weaknesses and plan forward based on what we find. From a continuous improvement point of view, we now have concrete evidence of where to focus our energy, helping with costings, budgeting and machine utilisation.

Andy ToulsonOperations Manager

“We’ve removed all back orders and are now in a position to deliver orders on time for customers worldwide.”

This is a tangible benefit of our unprecedented increase in machine productivity, and we’ve also improved staff retention with a calmer, less stressful working environment where operators have the autonomy to get on with the job.

FourJaw is Different

Most automated data collection systems are complex and expensive to install. FourJaw isn't.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does FourJaw automate production data collection? FourJaw's data collection software automatically captures machine activity and downtime events in real time. Operators only enter the minimal information needed (such as the downtime reason), making data collection accurate and low-effort.
What is manufacturing production software?

Manufacturing data collection software connects machines, operators, and data to give you visibility and control of your factory floor. It helps track performance in real time, reduce downtime, improve throughput, and make data-driven decisions that boost efficiency.

Read how manufacturers have benefited from our production software here.

How is FourJaw different from traditional MES or ERP systems?

Unlike complex MES or ERP systems, FourJaw is designed to be simple to deploy and easy to use on the shop floor. It complements existing systems by providing live production data and actionable insights that most ERP and MES platforms can’t deliver.

Which machines can use FourJaw's machine monitoring system?

FourJaw's manufacturing production software is designed for use on all types of manufacturing equipment, including. 

  • CNC machines
  • Lathes & milling machines
  • Presses & injection moulding machines
  • Assembly lines
  • Fabrication equipment

Generally, if it has an electrical current, FourJaw can tell you how productive it is (and how much energy it uses).

Do I need new machines or IT infrastructure to use FourJaw?

No. FourJaw’s hardware and cloud-based platform work with your existing machines—old or new. It’s designed to be plug-and-play, meaning you can be up and running without major investment in new infrastructure.

This means even machinery that's decades old can be upgraded to a "smart machine," enabling you to gain insights into the productivity of your equipment.

What kind of results can I expect? Most manufacturers see a 10–20% increase in machine utilisation within months of using FourJaw. By reducing unplanned downtime, improving scheduling accuracy, and unlocking hidden capacity, you can deliver more orders on time without adding extra shifts or buying new equipment.
Is FourJaw suitable for small and mid-sized manufacturers?

Absolutely! Our manufacturing production software isn’t just for large manufacturers. Small and Mid-sized companies benefit just as much by gaining visibility into machine utilisation, reducing bottlenecks, and improving operational efficiency.

Take a look at our case studies to see how our machine monitoring system is helping manufacturers of all sizes improve their manufacturing processes. 

Does FourJaw work for factories currently using Excel? Yes. Many customers switch from Excel-based downtime or utilisation tracking to FourJaw to improve accuracy and real-time visibility. Operator tablets allow fast, standardised downtime input, removing paper, spreadsheets and manual data entry.
