Frequently Asked Questions about FourJaw Machine Monitoring

If you’re new to FourJaw, here’s what you need to know.

FourJaw is a plug-and-play machine monitoring and production analytics system that helps manufacturers understand how their factories are performing in real time.

It’s designed to make complex production data simple — empowering every manufacturer to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and boost productivity.

What is FourJaw?

FourJaw is a machine and production monitoring system that connects to any machine on your factory floor — regardless of age or make — to automatically capture utilisation, downtime, and performance data.

It transforms this information into clear, actionable insights that empower every team:

Operators gain visibility into live performance and can easily log downtime, helping them take ownership of productivity on the shop floor.
Production and operations managers use the data to identify bottlenecks, balance workloads, and make informed decisions about planning and capacity.
Continuous Improvement teams rely on accurate, real-time data to track the impact of projects and sustain long-term performance gains.
Leadership gains a true picture of factory performance across shifts and sites, supporting data-driven strategy and ROI measurement.

Together, these insights help your entire organisation improve productivity, reduce costs, and make smarter decisions every day.

How does FourJaw’s machine monitoring system work?

FourJaw uses small IoT hardware devices, called 'MachineLink' to collect signals directly from your machines and operator tablets to capture the downtime reasons.

This information is sent to our secure web app in real time, where users can see their production data on dashboards showing utilisation, downtime trends, energy use, and performance by shift, team, or site.

What problems does FourJaw solve for manufacturers?

FourJaw helps manufacturers uncover lost production time, identify bottlenecks, and eliminate unplanned downtime.

By providing accurate, live data from across your factory, it removes the guesswork from daily operations, enabling teams to focus improvement efforts where they’ll have the biggest impact.

Do I need modern or connected machines to use FourJaw? No — that’s one of FourJaw’s biggest advantages. It’s plug-and-play, meaning it works with both modern machines and older equipment with no built-in connectivity. This makes it ideal for manufacturers who want the benefits of smart factory technology without expensive upgrades or integrations.

What results do manufacturers see with FourJaw?

FourJaw customers typically achieve 10–30% productivity improvements within just a few months of implementation. Many also reduce energy waste, improve planning accuracy, and strengthen collaboration between teams by using real-time data to drive daily decisions and long-term improvement projects.
