Faster setups to keep up with your production mix
Digitize your entire equipment setup process and reduce product changeover time, making it easier to track and apply improvements focused on availability.
+100 industries trust Cogtive
Every product changeover steals hours of production from your factory.
And no one is measuring how much.
Most manufacturers treat setup as an inevitable loss of time — with no standard, no data, and no confirmation that the equipment actually returned to expected performance after the changeover. Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
If you recognized at least 2 of these symptoms, your factory is losing production capacity every time it changes over products.
Standardized setup from start to finish.
Without depending on any one person.
Smart Setup guides every product changeover step by step on a tablet, measures the actual time of each stage, and confirms whether the line has returned to expected performance — no spreadsheets, no guesswork, no dependence on a single operator.
Complete, step-by-step guide with visual support
Every setup follows an informative checklist with an expected time per stage and supporting video or image materials — any operator can execute it the same way.
Standardized setupProduction Planning stays on top of sequencing
The Production Planning team tracks which setups are planned and which are already underway through the dashboard — ensuring more efficient production sequencing.
More efficient sequencingReal-time performance monitoring
See each setup's performance in real time and understand which processes need to be prioritized or optimized first.
Prioritization based on real dataOEE history to identify inconsistencies
Track the effectiveness of your setup strategies over time and identify inconsistencies before they become the norm.
Effectiveness tracked over timeRamp-Up report with precise calculation
The report compares the performance of the first half of the produced batch with the second half, showing exactly whether the setup reached the expected performance.
Before/after batch comparisonFlexible data collection for your type of operation
Cogtive adapts with up to 3 types of data collection — automatic, semi-automatic, or AI Vision — working even on equipment with no sensor installed.

Questions about Cogtive's Smart Setup?
We answer the most common questions from production managers, production planning teams, and operational excellence leaders before booking a demo.
Basic implementation can be done in a few days: you register the products, the standard steps for each changeover, and the expected time per stage. Operators start following the digital guide on the tablet as soon as setup is complete.
Yes. Cogtive uses up to 3 types of data collection to adapt to your operation: automatic via IoT sensors, semi-automatic via operator tablet, and AI Vision via computer-vision cameras. It works with both new and older equipment — no need to modernize your machinery.
The Ramp-Up report compares the performance of the first half of the batch produced after setup with the second half, showing whether the equipment has already reached — or hasn't yet reached — the expected standard speed.
Yes. Cogtive has native ERP integration (including SAP), Single Sign-On via Active Directory, and an open API for integrating with any external system — data from every setup flows directly into your ERP, with no isolated systems.
Reducing setup time directly increases line availability, without investing in new equipment. Cogtive clients have reported production capacity increases of up to 30% by applying changeover improvement strategies. The exact figure depends on your operation — we calculate it together with you during the demo.
Cogtive's support includes email, phone, chat, WhatsApp, and an online knowledge base — with a fast-response SLA. Every client has a dedicated Customer Success team to make sure the expected results are achieved.
It works for both models. In industries that work with batch production — pharmaceutical, chemical, food — the changeover between batches is often even more critical, since it involves cleaning and validation. Smart Setup standardizes this process both for batch production and for continuous packaging and filling lines.
