Why Cogtive
The questions an OEE tool can't answer.
OEE is just one of our features, and not the most important. It tells you how efficient a machine was. Cogtive answers what to do next, in the four decisions that define whether your plant delivers.
- 01
Will this month's plan close?
Pace The new daily pace by SKU, recalculated with every entry. - 02
Where is each batch waiting right now?
Flow Every lot on its route, with WIP, lead time and holding time. - 03
Can we take on more demand without a new line?
Capacity Scenario simulation and the OEE each scenario requires. - 04
What is blocking your changeovers from performing better?
Setup Guided setup on the tablet, measured phase by phase.
OEE tools give you a speedometer. Cogtive gives you the entire cockpit.
Platform architecture
One cockpit. Four decisions.
A solid foundation.
The foundation covers everything an OEE tool does. The four pillars go deep into the decisions those tools don't make and, together, control your production flow end to end.

The four pillars
Each pillar unlocks a decision.
Pick a pillar to see the decision it unlocks, the real screen and how it works, step by step.
01 · SETUP
Setup
Reduce and standardize every batch changeover, no matter who runs it.
Guided Setup on the tablet, with phases, instructions and checklists, which also standardizes training for new operators. Time per phase recorded automatically, a live setup kanban and a ramp-up report after each changeover.
Batch changeoverSMEDLine clearanceRamp-up
How it worksIllustrative
From every shift's own way to one standard.
02 · CAPACITY
Capacity
Know whether your plant can handle demand for the coming months before you commit.
Scenario simulation (mix, volume, extra shift, machine down) with the required OEE. Workforce sizing with vacations, turnover and absenteeism, the ideal buffer between stages and a Value Stream Map with takt versus cycle time.
CampaignsSKU mixLine allocationInvestment
How it worksIllustrative
From the demand to the OEE each scenario needs.
03 · FLOW
Flow
Control work in progress and the lead time of every batch.
Flow View: a live map of every batch along its route, where you run Heijunka to level production. FIFO with sequence alerts, bottlenecks, lead time per stage, holding time against its limit, route deviations and routes that self-calibrate from real use.
HeijunkaWIPHolding timeQC releaseFIFO by expiry
How it worksIllustrative
From a queue between stages to a leveled flow.
04 · PACE
Pace
Tell production planning, every day, whether the monthly plan will close.
Adherence to the monthly plan by SKU. New Pace, the daily target to close the month, recalculated with every production entry. Balance between input and output, inventory coverage by SKU and WIP completion forecasts based on historical lead time.
Plan adherenceSupermarketCoverageTakt
How it worksIllustrative
From a late surprise to a daily target.
The foundation
OEE is just one of our features. Not the most important.
Cogtive already includes everything an OEE tool does. Data comes in the way your plant allows, capturing even micro-stops.
- OEE and downtime Pareto
- IoT, sensors and cameras with AI Vision
- Batch production entries on the tablet
- Maintenance with MTBF and MTTR
- Downtime kanban
- Visual management on the shop-floor TV
How it worksIllustrative
From the machine signal to an OEE you can trust.
Intelligence
Intelligence that is already in production.
TÆLOR suggests insights from the data your plant actually uses, at real customers. No AI built on data nobody feeds.
TÆLOR AND AGENTS
Analyze factory data and suggest insights to anticipate deviations. Your ERP, such as SAP, can consume them too.
COGTIVE MCP
Connects your AI assistants, such as Claude and ChatGPT, and your agents to real factory data, in natural language.
EMBEDDED INTELLIGENCE
Self-calibrating routes, speed anomalies by batch and WIP completion forecasts.
ALERTS
Teams, Slack and email, the moment the event happens.
How it worksIllustrative
From plant data to an alert, before the loss.
Shop-floor compliance · GMP
Made even for the most regulated shop floor.
The events regulators such as the FDA and ANVISA require you to document are recorded on the platform, with an audit trail and data integrity.
- LOGBOOKCleanings, batch changeovers and maintenance on the tablet, signed by PIN. Once saved, the record cannot be changed.
- TEMPLATESVersioned: what each logbook requires, who fills it in and who verifies it.
- AUDIT TRAILWho changed what, the previous value, the new one and when.
- QR CODEValidation for critical events, such as opening a corrective work order.
The Logbook is a validatable solution. We involve your Quality team from the start of the implementation.
How it worksIllustrative
Every record signed, sealed and traceable.

The CAPTA method
The platform is the depth. CAPTA is the path.
It shows where your operation stands, what makes sense now and what comes next. Our Customer Success team takes you there.
“Today we do everything on paper. I want to see what is happening.”
A short questionnaire across four dimensions: Standards, Flow, Pace and Capacity. The letter in each dimension defines what we offer. We don't sell what you won't use yet.
Take the questionnaireWho it is for
Life Sciences at the core. Pharma as the anchor.
For high-maturity operations, or companies large enough to grow into it with us, with an owner of Operational Excellence and an executive sponsor.
