FourJaw

Vorteile

Its Multiple Features help to ease of Doing Work Flow Management. It output and Data Presentation is prefect. Its active Tracking and Real time monitoring made it more attractive to use.

Nachteile

Its friendly and easy to Use only thing is Cost is High only thats the concern for New Startups

Vorteile

The kits are simple to fit and the data collection starts straightaway,excellent support from the guys at Four Jaw too

Nachteile

Early days but have nothing negative to say about the four jaw software,data is very informative and lots of features included to aid with maximising your productivity

Vorteile

FourJaw makes it easy to collect and monitor machine information in real-time and also revise historical stats.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Easy to install, we had 7 machines connected in a couple of hours.

Nachteile

Nothing - great support from the team so far.

Vorteile

Excellent user interface which has the ability to monitor multiple production lines and record real time downtime. This allows root cause analysis of the reasons for job not being achieved on time and to monitor trends of multiple batches of the same products of focus on a specific production line.

Additionally FourJaw has excellent customer service which are always on hand to assist in any technical issues or listen to and implement.

Nachteile

It would be nice to have a fully customisable reporting system directly from the user interface. Fully customisable reports can be created however you have to do this via Excel.

Vorteile

The layout of the data was very well presented and allowed us to establish a baseline and then plot growth targets over a timeline.

Nachteile

The Part we struggled with wasn't a fault of the device itself but it was how to keep power to the devices as we didn't originally hardwire them in, however once we did they ran perfect.

Vorteile

Visibility and easy of use, easy to install and instant feedback

Nachteile

There are some limitations but we are working them out with the customer care team

Vorteile

Simplicity of set up and ease of integration across various machines, to give insight where previously not feasible.

Nachteile

Very little to be honest. Some alternative methods for capturing data, and improved capability for interpreting data would be welcome in the future.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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!

Vorteile

1. It is easy in installing and working comparing to the similar products2. Customer support is excellent and quick response for queries3. It helps the user to save their data and also to import and export data in easier way4. Making schedule for the work is the amazing thing in the whole

Nachteile

1. Raw datas can't to exported for the further use or reference2. The setup is quit complicated but the customer support team helps on the best for any concerns.3. Little bit of update required for the UI but the overall comparison is best for use

Vorteile

FourJaw has multiple and functional features which a very powerful to perform various tasks like its time monitoring is amazing.FourJaw data analytics creation in real time and the effective multiple projects management and the communication offered across different teams is incredible.Ability to manage document and generate valuable operations reports is excellent through FourJaw functionalities.

Nachteile

Nothing found on my entire usability of FourJaw since my experience on implementation was friendly and easy.

Vorteile

Last six months I was using the software it's like a amazing platform and I never expected this flow of working.

Nachteile

I am not feeling bad and everything feels good thanks

Vorteile

Its easy to implement and easy to use by shopfloor staff. It enables you to track starting tommorow - not much solutions can do it.

Nachteile

Its focused mainly on OEE - our company strives for MTBF - we are missing some features :)

Vorteile

Downtime analysis, up to date job statistics

Nachteile

None really, system exceeds all expectations

Vorteile

Ease of use and functionality really good

Nachteile

not the most flexible system in regards to specific application required

Vorteile

The software provides a variety of tools for scheduling, quality control, product management, traceability, monitoring, and real-time reporting. These features can help manufacturing companies streamline their processes, increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve overall product quality.

Nachteile

FourJaw's pricing is higher than other similar software solutions, which may be a disadvantage for smaller companies with limited budgets. Additionally, some users may find that the software lacks certain features that they require for their specific manufacturing needs.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The team is excellent at helping us customize the solutions for our particular needs , and the product deploys really quickly.

Nachteile

We could still need a few additional tools to track MTBF.

Vorteile

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,

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Data feedback.
Live information.
Ease of use.

Nachteile

Output formatting, from the table information etc... as it is done mainly as a excel data dump when filtering the data and information we noticed that some of it was sometimes could be misinterpreted when it comes to understanding the information for those who dont know what they are looking at.

Vorteile

The product is very fast to deploy, and the team is great with supporting us to fit the product just for our individual use. 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.

Nachteile

We could use some more features for tracking MTBF, but the team reacted very fast and came up with solution to track this metric. Hopefully we see more in the future.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Very easy to set up and install - Great customer support to help you if you get stuck on install or in using the software.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Customer service is brilliant. The fourjaw team are available anytime to help. Its very user friendly.

Nachteile

Doest show quality but fourjaw are making this one of the priorities on there next update

Vorteile

The software lets me have a real view of what’s causing stoppages on our machines so we can tackle the real problems.

Nachteile

We did like the feature that all stoppage time was lumped in with stoppages over 5 minutes but the four jaw team have now separated this.

Vorteile

The Support throughout the onboarding process from Fourjaw was remarkable, all queries dealt with quickly and efficiently and 100% pain free.
Data is presented very clearly and has already identified gaps/weaknesses within our manufacturing process that we can work on to become more profitable

Nachteile

Nothing other than the user friendliness of the app is not as good on a mobile phone (iphone) as it is on tablet or desktop PC, this is a small irk.

Other than this it is perfect for our needs

Vorteile

easy to use, easy to install, lots of potential to drive improvement projects realting to downtime.

Nachteile

Inability to export the data into raw form for further analysis.

Vorteile

The FourJaw system was easy to install on a variety of CNC machines, and started to produce useful data quickly.
The initial challenege of engaging the manufacturing team was made easier by regular communication with the excellent support team at FourJaw who are keen to make the project a success for you!

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

VERY easy to install and setup
Starts providing data straight away
Easy to start small and scale up when required
Gives good easy to understand insight into what is actually happening on the machines

Nachteile

Needs a bit of tweaking to get display working fully on some mobile phones, but that development is coming.
