What makes FourJaw’s hardware different from other solutions?
Our plug-and-play hardware works seamlessly with any machine, regardless of brand, age, or type. Unlike other systems, there’s no need for complex integrations or costly customisations.
How does FourJaw capture Downtime Data?
FourJaw captures downtime data through a combination of its MachineLink hardware and tablets mounted on the machines.
When a MachineLink detects downtime, it automatically prompts the operator via the tablet to select the reason for this downtime from a predefined list.
This process is quick and non-disruptive, designed to minimise interruption to the operator's workflow.
By simplifying the input method to just a few taps, FourJaw ensures that accurate downtime reasons are recorded with minimal effort, enabling a comprehensive analysis of machine productivity and downtime causes without impeding your operators.
