Case Study: Westley Plastics reduces big-job on-job operations by 50% with FourJaw machine monitoring

Westley Plastics reduces on-job operations by 50% with FourJaw

Westley Plastics, a UK-based manufacturer of cast nylon and plastic components for the defence sector, faced a lack of visibility into its 24/7 operations. Inconsistent manual data capture left the company without accurate information on machine utilization and cycle times, making it impossible to make fact-based decisions to improve productivity. To address this, they turned to FourJaw and its machine monitoring platform.

By implementing FourJaw's solution, the company gained a clear picture of its factory floor. This data-driven insight led to process changes, including a new factory layout and the creation of new jigs. As a result, Westley Plastics reduced on-job operations for big jobs by 50%, increased machine utilization, and improved overall efficiency, which allowed them to reduce weekend shifts and save on operating costs. FourJaw's guidance was instrumental in ensuring strong cultural adoption and maximizing the platform's impact.
