FourJaw Features
Machine Utilization
The FourJaw platform provides standardized machine utilization data to help businesses uncover operational inefficiencies on the shop floor. This detailed information allows managers to accurately assess true machine capacity, enabling them to confidently optimize their existing manufacturing resources.
Energy Tracking
The software generates detailed energy consumption reports to provide crystal-clear visibility into energy usage across the factory, down to individual machines. Manufacturers can use these reports to identify energy-intensive processes, allowing them to proactively optimize usage and reduce utility costs.
Live Dashboards
This feature presents customizable live dashboards that give management a real-time view of the entire factory floor's performance. The dashboards display machine status, downtime causes, and utilization metrics, enabling teams to act fast on data and immediately drive better performance.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
FourJaw helps enhance operational efficiency and reliability by calculating Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). This provides a real-time view of productivity to reveal true asset utilization and available capacity. Understanding OEE is essential for continuous process improvement initiatives.
Carbon Footprint Reports
This feature generates carbon footprint reports, which identify the biggest carbon emitters right down to the individual machine level. Manufacturers can leverage these to improve environmental credentials and ensure full compliance with critical regulatory or contractual sustainability requirements.

“Exceptional customer care”
Pros
We had the system fully up and running within 4 weeks of our first conversations with them. The support team has been exceptional throughout. They're knowledgeable, responsive and quick to help despite us being based all the way over in New Zealand. The new dashboards have been a real game changer for us as well. They're simple to build and give meaningful production insights across every level of the business. It's also been impressive to see the platform keep improving over time. The newer features especially those focused on shift flexibility and planning, have made it even more valuable for handling daily operations efficiently.
Cons
The only thing that would make it even better is having local support although we do understand that's not easy given that we're based in New Zealand.

“simple setup”
Pros
Installation and then roll out a simple process and integrating it across different machines has been going smoothly as well. It gives us visibility into areas that were previously difficult, if not impossible, to track.
Cons
There's not much to complain about. That said it would be nice to see a few more options for capturing data, along with stronger tools for interpreting that data in the future.
