Machine Monitoring for JobBOSS²: How S.T.S. Inc. Increased Shop Floor Productivity

Hear from Dave Strom at Super Thin Saws, Inc. about how pairing JobBOSS² with Amper machine monitoring helped his team overcome these challenges.

Dave pulls back the curtain on how Super Thin Saws bridged the gap between ERP scheduling and physical shop floor reality, turning operator hesitation into proactive buy-in and eliminating production blind spots.

You will learn firsthand how Dave uses live machine metrics to validate routing steps, feed accurate runtime data back into JobBOSS² for precise job costing, and uncover hidden capacity across existing machinery without needing to invest in costly new equipment.

Improve Production Visibility and Reduce Downtime with Amper

Amper gives manufacturers real-time visibility into how their machines are performing—helping them understand when equipment is running, when it is down, and where production time is being lost. By combining automated machine data collection with dashboards, downtime tracking, and alerts, Amper helps teams respond faster to disruptions, improve equipment utilization, and uncover unused capacity in their existing operations.

Its non-invasive electrical sensors support monitoring across older and newer equipment without complex PLC integration or expensive retrofits. This makes it easier to replace manual tracking with consistent, timely machine-performance data.

For Dave DeVandry of DeKing Precision, building a stronger machine shop means creating systems that empower the team—not making every decision himself.

In a recent episode of The Impractical Machinists, Dave shares how DeKing Precision approaches quality as more than a final inspection. By standardizing processes and using JobBOSS² to centralize shop information, the team is working toward more consistent operations, clearer communication, and continuous improvement.
