Maher Boosts OEE 280% with FourJaw's Machine Monitoring
Maher, a precision-maintenance manufacturer, has seen significant improvements after implementing machine monitoring technology from FourJaw Manufacturing Analytics. The company, which previously relied on job booking records for production estimates, has now adopted FourJaw's platform for real-time machine performance visibility.
Maher's journey with FourJaw began in 2024, with the installation of FourJaw's affordable and easy-to-install sensors and cloud-based platform. The company's Automation and Process Improvement Manager, Charlie Stothard, highlighted FourJaw's role in planning and budgeting based on concrete evidence of machine utilisation. Connor Blackshaw, Machining Supervisor at Maher, described FourJaw as 'simple, effective' and a crucial tool for factory efficiency initiatives.
Since adopting FourJaw's technology, Maher has made remarkable strides. The company has improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) from 19% to 47% and increased Machine Utilisation from 29% to 46%. Chris Iveson, CEO at FourJaw Manufacturing Analytics, attributed these improvements to FourJaw's technology enabling manufacturers to understand and improve productivity and energy efficiency. Maher now uses FourJaw's data to inform continuous improvement, productivity, and efficiency initiatives, and to respond quickly to production issues. The company has also integrated FourJaw's live dashboards on the factory floor and exports data via API for deeper analysis.
While there are no publicly reported cases of a major company implementing FourJaw's machine monitoring platform in 2024, Maher's success story demonstrates the potential benefits of such technology. These include improved overall equipment efficiency, increased machine utilisation, and enhanced productivity and energy efficiency. For the latest case studies, it is recommended to contact FourJaw directly or search in industry-specific publications.
