As a leading manufacturer of automation equipment, Hydrafeed has gained real-time visibility into our factory operations through a new partnership with FourJaw Manufacturing Analytics.
FourJaw’s platform has provided Hydrafeed with a real-time understanding and visualisation of our factory data, enabling us to establish a production efficiency benchmark and a detailed account of energy use. This has already improved the day-to-day management of manufacturing operations and provided a clear understanding of where we can achieve productivity and sustainability gains.
During the first five weeks of using FourJaw, Hydrafeed has been able to generate the same output in its milling cell with four fewer machines, allowing the reallocation of machine operators to its turning cell, where it has boosted utilisation by 30%.
Hydrafeed identified further opportunities to reduce energy usage through more efficient machine operation within days of installation. The energy savings already identified will deliver a complete return on its investment in FourJaw.
