FourJaw, the tech start-up behind the cloud-based ‘fitness tracker’ for manufacturing has launched its next-generation machine monitoring platform: an operational tool that enables manufacturers to achieve big gains in factory floor productivity. The new platform features a simplified and more intuitive dashboard design, an enhanced mobile experience, powerful new work-list imports, and a dedicated reporting section. Developed after more than 12 months of customer feedback and industry learning, FourJaw 2.0 offers improved functionality while additional features empower manufacturers with the information they need to understand, manage and improve factory floor operations.

FourJaw co-founder and CTO, Robin Hartley-Willows, says: “The feedback from our customers across the country has been invaluable, enabling us to create FourJaw 2.0, an operational tool developed to meet the needs of everyone in the business, including machine operatives, cell leads, factory managers and managing directors.

“The big takeaway from the feedback is that manufacturers don’t want huge quantities of data to interrogate and scrutinise – that would just mean more workload for people who are already very busy,” he continues. “What they need is an easy-to-use operational tool that guides them with the right information at the right time, helps them to manage the complexities of the factory floor and enables the continuous improvement process.”

For existing customers, FourJaw 2.0 will offer a seamless upgrade of the existing app. What they get, however (along with new customers), is an iterative tool that evolves to meet their needs.

Says Hartley-Willows: “We founded FourJaw in the belief that productive manufacturing elevates individuals, communities and our society. While FourJaw 2.0 is a significant milestone in our journey, it’s also the foundation for our wider company roadmap that ends with every manufacturer achieving their productivity potential.”
