Animal Health Industry

Every hour your animal health plant's machines sit idle is volume you'll never get back.

Cogtive monitors your production equipment's efficiency in real time — both serial and batch processes — with OEE, a 360° view of production flow, and setup management to eliminate hidden stoppages, shorten setups, and unlock capacity you already have installed.

Products for animal health

From weighing to filling — total operational visibility

Weighing, mixing, granulation, compression, filling, and packaging. When a stage stalls, Cogtive shows you where, why — and how much it's costing you in availability and product mix.

01 · OEE

Know exactly how much machine time is being lost — and why

In the veterinary industry, every unplanned stoppage steals availability and limits the volume the line can absorb. Cogtive captures every event in real time — setups, waits, maintenance, and micro-stops — and automatically calculates each piece of equipment's Effective OEE.

With Timeline, your team sees the wait time that used to go unnoticed. With automatic Pareto, they act on the root cause in performance meetings with reliable data — not guesswork.

Making just one line's wait time visible has already revealed more than 18 hours of lost production in 60 days due to idle machines — capacity that comes back to the operation with no new investment in equipment.

02 · Flow View

See where every order is — from weighing to filling

Veterinary production goes through many stages and a large product mix. When one stalls, the impact ripples through all the following ones — but it isn't always visible. Flow View replaces the hand-filled kanban with a real-time 360° view of every stage and every piece of equipment.

Reposition priority orders, see the growing queue, and find the main bottleneck during the shift — not just at the end of the day.

03 · Smart Setup

Reduce changeover time between products — and free up availability

With a large product mix, every changeover involves cleaning, adjustment, and validation. 6-to-7-hour setups turn into significant idle machine time. Smart Setup standardizes this process with a step-by-step digital guide on the operator's tablet and backs up SMED implementation with data.

With the Ramp-Up report, you track whether the equipment returned to standard speed after the changeover — and confirm whether the setup was done correctly before the problem shows up in the final product.

With a standardized and monitored setup, one operation reduced its average changeover time from 7h to 4h20 — a roughly 30% gain in machine availability from a leaner setup.

Why Cogtive

Why Cogtive for animal health?

The animal health industry combines strict regulatory requirements with a wide variety of pharmaceutical forms — solids, liquids, injectables, veterinary products made in series and in batches. Cogtive gives full visibility into this complexity in real time.

Real-time OEE per equipment

Monitor each piece of equipment's efficiency individually — availability, performance, and quality updated with every log, with no need to wait for next-day reports to know how the shift went.

Full batch traceability

Every log is linked to the user, the equipment, and the exact timestamp. The complete audit trail ensures traceability for MAPA and ANVISA audits and the sector's quality certifications.

Real-time batch flow visibility

Flow View shows where each batch is in the production process — granulation, compression, filling, packaging — and automatically identifies which stage is accumulating a queue before it turns into a delivery delay.

Standardized setup with digital checklist

Smart Setup replaces paper checklists with digital guides on the operator's tablet. The Ramp-Up report monitors equipment performance after each changeover — confirming it returned to expected efficiency before producing.

Automatic alerts for stoppages and deviations

Set up notifications via email, Teams, or Slack when equipment exceeds the standard downtime — your team acts on the root cause in the same shift, with no need to monitor the screen.

Zero spreadsheets — data collected on the shop floor

Operators log directly on the tablet, or IoT sensors collect data automatically. Metrics update in real time — with no manual entry and no risk of human error in the data.

Ourofino Saúde Animal invests in AI and increases production capacity by almost 30%

Although dealing with idle capacity is common in the industrial environment, here we are going to talk about hidden capacity, which involves a comprehensive analysis of lead times and production bottlenecks throughout the factory, and not just individual equipment. This approach allows for the identification of various improvement opportunities that go beyond simply maximizing equipment […]
