Switching to FourJaw 'New' from 'Classic'

Learn why and how to switch over to FourJaw New.

Welcome to FourJaw New

When we started FourJaw, our mission was simple: make manufacturing data easy to get, powerful to use, and accessible to manufacturers of all sizes.

FourJaw Classic was the first step on that journey. It provided manufacturers with a new way to see what was truly happening on the shop floor, unlocking insights that transformed their performance.

But as more and more manufacturers joined us, you told us what could be even better:

  • Finding the right information faster

  • Making data easier to share

  • Giving every role in the business the view they need

We listened — and we built something entirely new.

In this video, our CEO explains more about FourJaw New and why you should be making the switch today. 

 

New Vs. Classic

Why FourJaw New?

FourJaw New has been designed from the ground up with one goal in mind: the right information, for the right people, at the right time.

Here’s what makes it different:

  • Custom dashboards in seconds – create and personalise views with drag-and-drop widgets.

  • Your data, your way – from the shop floor to the boardroom, every user gets the insights that matter most to them.

  • Effortless sharing – dashboards delivered straight to inboxes, ready for meetings and reports.

  • Future-proof platform – all new features, updates, and innovations will be released on FourJaw New.

The result? Faster decisions, stronger teamwork, and bigger productivity gains.

What’s happening to FourJaw Classic?

Our focus is to focus all development on FourJaw New. However, we will continue to support FourJaw Classic until we fully retire the product in 2026. 

  • From now on, all new features will only be developed and available in the new platform.

  • Over the coming months, Classic features will be phased out. The first of which will be 'Timeline view', which will be switched off on the 27th of October.

  • By early 2026, we envisage that all customers will be using FourJaw New.

If you’re still on Classic, now’s the time to make the switch and unlock the full value of FourJaw.

Yes it does. And it's faster, can be added to as many dashboards as you need, or used, in a dashboard on its own (a bit like the view in classic).

I want to start using the new dashboards but I'm short on time. Can you help?

We know switching to a new way of doing things can seem like a cumbersome task, however, we've tried to make switching to our new custom dashboards as easy as possible. Not only can you create in depth, performance dashboards from scratch in a matter of minutes, but we've also launched some ready-made templates. 

Initially, the new dashboard template library includes three ready-made dashboards.

  • Last 7 days overview
  • Monthly Utilisation Comparison
  • Weekly Downtime Comparison

I display the Timeline view on screens across the factory floor. Do I need to change anything to use the new one? Yes, but don't worry, it should be straightforward. 

Once you have set up the timeline dashboard that you want to put on your large screen(s), simply update the url (link) on the device so it points to the new timeline view.
