Micro-stops nobody records
Stops of thirty seconds vanish from the spreadsheet and still pull down the volume.
Food and beverage manufacturing
At the end of the line, what counts is what leaves packed.
Cogtive shows the whole line in real time, from filling to palletizing, and where volume is lost, including the micro-stops.

Where volume disappears
Thirty-second stops add up. So does the volume they take.
The line looks busy, the spreadsheet looks fine, and the volume packed at the end of the shift still falls short.
The bottleneck is the simplest machine
Not the most expensive one. Without data, the team improves the wrong equipment.
Raw material and product that are lost
Losses that never come back, with no clear cause to act on.
Maintenance called too late
The line stands still waiting for maintenance to arrive.
How Cogtive solves it
From filling to palletizing, one cockpit.
Each pain maps to a pillar of the cockpit, on top of a complete OEE foundation.
OEESolves 01
Every micro-stop captured
Stops and speed losses captured automatically and measured in units delivered, with a downtime Pareto and alerts to maintenance in Teams, Slack or email.
FlowSolves 02
The whole line in sight
From filling to palletizing, with the real bottleneck of the shift and WIP between stages.
SetupSolves 03
Standard time per SKU
Guided Setup keeps every changeover to standard, with the time per phase recorded automatically.
PaceSolves 04
Planned versus actual, shift by shift
Adherence to the plan by SKU, with New Pace recalculating the daily target with every entry.

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.
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.
We already have OEE on a spreadsheet. What changes?
The spreadsheet shows the past and misses micro-stops. Cogtive captures every stop as it happens, shows where the line loses volume and tells the team what to do next.
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.
