Every hour of downtime at your chemical plant is costly. Cogtive shows you exactly where the loss is.

Every hour of downtime at your chemical plant is costly. See your operation's real OEE, from reactor to filling, in real time, and recover production capacity without new investment.

From reactor to filling — total operational visibility

Separation, fractionation, tanks, color matching, quality, filling. When a stage stalls, Cogtive shows you where, why — and how much it's costing you.

01 · OEE

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

In the chemical industry, every unplanned stoppage directly impacts the cost per batch. Cogtive captures every event in real time — setups, color changes, maintenance, and micro-stops — and automatically calculates the line's OEE.

With Timeline, you see 24 hours of history for each piece of equipment. With automatic Pareto, your team acts on the root cause the same day.

On a paint line running 120 buckets/hour, a 12-point OEE gain represents nearly 6,000 extra buckets per month — more than R$107,000 in recovered production capacity.

02 · Flow View

See where every order is — from tank to filling

Chemical production goes through many stages. When one stalls, the impact ripples through all the following ones — but it isn't always visible. Flow View shows in real time where each order is, which stage has a growing queue, and where the main bottleneck is.

Reposition priority orders with a single click and avoid discovering delivery delays only at the end of the shift.

03 · Smart Setup

Reduce the time between colors — and the cost of every changeover

In the paint and chemical industry, every product changeover involves tank cleaning, viscosity adjustment, and color validation. Smart Setup standardizes this process with a step-by-step digital guide right on the operator's tablet.

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

Why Cogtive

Why Cogtive for the chemical industry?

The hidden capacity in your chemical plant could be your operation's next big leap. Cogtive uncovers what was previously hidden on the shop floor — and turns that visibility into real financial results.

Measurable ROI from month one

On a line running 120 buckets/hour, a 12-point OEE gain represents more than R$107,000 in recovered capacity per month. The gain from just 15 days already pays for a full year of the project — using your own operation's data.

Full support for batch processes

Reactors, tanks, and mixers work in batches — not by piece. Cogtive calculates OEE by cycle time, with no need for unit counting, eliminating distortions in availability and performance metrics.

Bottlenecks visible before they become delays

Flow View identifies in real time which stage has a growing queue — separation, tanks, quality, or filling. Your team acts before the delay reaches the customer, not after.

Standardized, traceable product changeovers

Every color or formula change in the chemical industry involves cleaning, adjustment, and validation. Smart Setup standardizes this process with a digital checklist and monitors ramp-up after the changeover — confirming the equipment returned to expected performance.

Full traceability with audit trail

Every log is linked to the user, the equipment, and the exact timestamp. The audit trail ensures traceability of every action — essential for regulated processes, internal audits, and the sector's quality requirements.

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 need to wait until the end of the shift to know what happened in production.

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 […]
