Case Study: Enztec boosts CNC uptime with FourJaw machine monitoring

Enztec lifts CNC uptime from 45% to 60%+ with FourJaw

Enztec, a New Zealand-based manufacturer of high-precision orthopedic surgical instruments, faced challenges with unclear factory performance due to unreliable spreadsheet-based reporting. This manual process resulted in an inconsistent view of true production capacity and an initial CNC machine uptime of just 45%. The leadership team sought a solution from FourJaw that could provide trusted data without undermining their positive workforce culture.

By implementing FourJaw's machine monitoring software, Enztec replaced assumptions with real-time data, enabling data-driven decisions. The solution was rolled out across all CNC machines in just three months. As a result, Enztec lifted average CNC uptime from 45% to over 60%, cut setup-related downtime from 27% to 15%, and unlocked significant hidden capacity without adding new machines or staff. FourJaw provided the trusted insights needed to drive these continuous improvements.
