Cosmetics manufacturers that run on Cogtive
Where the line loses time
Every changeover costs output. Every micro-stop too.
Formulas, colors and packaging change several times per shift. Without a standard and real data, the monthly plan only closes on the last day.
Setups that depend on who is on the line
The same changeover takes a different time with each operator, and nobody knows which phase drifts.
Micro-stops at filling that never reach the report
Stops of seconds that vanish from manual entries and still pull down the line’s speed.
Many SKUs and a plan that closes late
The monthly plan is only known to close, or not, on the last day.
How Cogtive solves it
From filling to stock, one cockpit.
Each pain maps to a pillar of the cockpit, on top of a complete OEE foundation.
SetupSolves 01
Every changeover guided
Guided Setup on the tablet, with time per phase and the ramp-up measured after each changeover, so every shift follows the same standard.
OEESolves 02
Micro-stops captured at filling
Micro-stops and speed losses captured automatically, so the downtime Pareto shows where the line really loses output.
PaceSolves 03
The monthly plan, every day
Adherence to the plan by SKU and New Pace, the daily target to close the month, recalculated with every production entry.
FlowSolves 04
From filling to stock
The whole route in sight, with WIP between stages and the bottleneck of the shift.

How we start
We start with what creates value now.
CAPTA diagnostic
A short questionnaire with your team shows where the biggest loss is and what to connect first.
The cockpit live
Data from IoT, sensors or the tablet. OEE, stops and losses in real time as soon as the first line is connected.
Routine and evolution
Our Customer Success team of Operational Excellence professionals runs the routine with yours, then expands where it makes sense.

FAQ
Before you ask.
Our changeovers take minutes. Is it worth standardizing them?
Yes. Short changeovers repeated many times a day add up. Guided Setup records the time per phase, so you see which phase drifts and where the next improvement is.
How does data get into Cogtive?
The way your plant allows: IoT and sensors on the machines, cameras with AI Vision and entries on the tablet. Micro-stops are captured too, and older machines can start on the tablet.
Does Cogtive replace our MES or ERP?
No. Cogtive works alongside them. The MES records execution and the ERP plans; Cogtive manages flow, pace, setup and capacity on top of what actually happens on the shop floor.
Do we need to start with every line?
No. A short CAPTA questionnaire shows where your operation stands, and we start with what creates value now. We don’t sell what you won’t use yet.
