VIDEO: CNC Machine Shop Owner, Jack Russell Talks Datanomix and Efficiency

Learn why having Datanomix on the floor makes all the difference to your efficiency and your factory team.

In this video interview, Tony Gunn from MTDCNC discusses Datanomix with Jack Russell, owner and CEO of Rolar Products in Muskegon, Michigan. At Rolar Products, Jack has implemented a data-driven strategy throughout his factory. One where everyone values accurate information and insights to run fast and efficiently. And Datanomix is a crucial partner for the entire Rolar team.

“As we add more new technology and the reshoring effort that we are trying to do, it’s key that we know how efficient we are because we’re competing with the best companies in the world. Our strategy is to buy the latest and greatest equipment and monitor them to ensure we are as efficient as possible to get some of the work back that has gone overseas.”

As Rolar has experienced tremendous growth, recently relocating to a new factory space three times the size of their old facility, Jack and his team have been able to keep up with increased demand and continue to grow in a tight job market. Datanomix is providing the data necessary to support optimized operations and accurate job quoting, while also helping to foster a data-driven culture.

“With Datanomix, the entire company is focused on fixing the things that don’t go as well as planned. So it’s a motivator for the entire company—we know exactly how we are doing and where we can improve. Our effort creates a higher score.” 

“With Datanomix, you know your capacity and can tell what your margins are. You can look back at similar products you’ve run for a new job you’re going to quote. Because we know how that job runs on our equipment, we can adjust our quote up or down depending on the market conditions. It’s an advantage!”
