About FourJaw
Manufacturing analytics software that helps manufacturers improve productivity, lower energy usage and increase profitability.
Sure, it might not have all the features at this point that we might want to see, but what I love about it is that it's really a bargain if you look on the value compared to cost.
I wish I had more time in my day to find faults with fourjaw, it really is simple and straightforward to use. My only problem is im too busy too implement the latest functions.

FourJaw Review
Comments: I am fairly satisfied from an admin point of view. The customer support ahs been great and the user interface is quite intuitive. The struggle has been more with convincing operators with the software's worth, especially when certain feature are still not available, making it difficult for them to commit to it.
Pros:
FourJaw makes it easy to collect and monitor machine information in real-time and also revise historical stats.
Cons:
The tool does not have a lot of customizability and flexibility which can help it adapt to different production or operational methods. It has a somewhat solid approach to how data flows through the software. It also doesn't always give operators what they need to conduct their job effectively.

Downtime monitoring has enabled us to react quicker to resolve production matters. Data captured by machine means we can review bottle necks by section/machine shop. We are able to re-direct labour to fulfill machine capabilities,

CBE+ bought into the product at a very early stage where the dashboards were still in development. We now have this and it has been a very useful tool on our shop floor.
Fourjaw allowed us to increase capacity!!
Comments: My overall experience with fourjaw has been very positive, we started an initial 6 month trial and have continued with tha trial as the benfits outweigh the costs. I'm consistently able to maintain our capacity as I can act on downtime reasons, create more efficient process for uptime and make changes to manufacturing processes to remove bottlenecks.
Pros:
I found Fourjaw very easy to set up, there customer service and aftersales support is fantastic. From my initial conversations there was no pressure to commit and when I had done the research on competitors Fourjaw was the best option for us.
Cons:
I wish I had more time in my day to find faults with fourjaw, it really is simple and straightforward to use. My only problem is im too busy too implement the latest functions!

FourJaw Review
Comments: The software has given the engineering/production team a focus around which any productivity improvement can be discussed and implemented.
Pros:
Product is very easy to use and provides great background information to form discussions around when looking at machine utilisation i.e. the actual time the tools are removing metal.
Cons:
We worked very closely with FourJaw in the development stages so the functions we found useful are actually part of the current software package. The original hardware was more complex to set up and had to be installed by FourJaw but the latest hardware seems to have resolved this particular problem. FourJaw staff generally respond to and fix any issues quickly.
Reveiw for excellent FourJaw
Comments: Product is very user friendly and offers excellent background data to help frame discussions whether looking at machine utilization or the real time the tools are removing metal.
Pros:
with the help of software team the engineering and production team now have a point of focus around which to debate and implement potential efficiency improvements. Since we have found FourJaw collaborate closely throughout the entire development process, the features we discovered to be helpful are actually a part of software as it is today.
Cons:
The most ofen hardware appears to have remedied this particular issue, but the prior hardware required FourJaw to install it because it was more difficult to set up.
Simple, clever!
Comments: Enabled us to deliver great results!
Pros:
Its easy to implement and easy to use by shopfloor staff. It enables you to track starting tommorow - not much solutions can do it.
Cons:
Its focused mainly on OEE - our company strives for MTBF - we are missing some features :)

Some of the dashboards could use some development. However, since using the platform they have made several improvements already and having spoke to FourJaw recently they have a lot of improvements in the pipeline and appear close to delivering many these.

Cons:
The tablets can sometimes be a little slow for the opporators but this is primarily due to our own connectivity issues in the machine shop.
