explitia for the cosmetics industry
Digitization of the cosmetics industry enables the chemical sector to reach a higher level. explitia solutions address the needs of chemical plants facing challenges such as increasing competition, high energy costs, and the need for quality monitoring.
See how we can optimize your production plant and experience the power of Industry 4.0.
Production Portal – the path to digitization of the cosmetics industry
The cosmetics industry requires a specialized approach to production management and quality control. cosmetics manufacturing must meet the highest standards in terms of both efficiency and ingredient traceability.
To meet these challenges, we created the Production Portal – a modern tool supporting digital transformation in manufacturing companies, including those in the cosmetics industry.
The system is modular and scalable, allowing for gradual implementation of the explitia production portal and its adaptation to the specific needs of chemical plants.
It is web-based, requiring only an internet browser. We ensure full security in compliance with cybersecurity standards and deployment flexibility on both local infrastructure and in the cloud.
Biggest challenges in the cosmetics industry – explitia solutions
1. Production and packaging process efficiency
Solution: Efficiency and OEE module
Optimizing cosmetics production is key, especially with frequent line changeovers and varying formulas. Our efficiency module enables:
- Real-time measurement of machine and production line performance.
- Analysis of OEE indicators (availability, performance, quality).
- Identification of downtime causes and production line failures.
- Live monitoring of Pareto charts and hourly production reports.
2. Traceability – full traceability of ingredients and production batches
Solution: Traceability module
In the cosmetics industry, tracking ingredients and production parameters is crucial. Our traceability module provides:
- A detailed record of each batch’s history – from raw materials (e.g., oils, extracts) to the final product.
- Identification of ingredients, raw material batches, and mixing parameters.
- Logging of operators, production lines, and tanks involved in the process.
- Linking specific product batches with quality control results.
3. Maintaining the highest quality with SPC (Statistical Process Control)
Solution: SPC module
Quality control in the cosmetics industry requires continuous monitoring of production parameters such as blending accuracy, temperature, and dosing precision. Our system enables:
- Real-time automatic statistical process analysis.
- Alert notifications for deviations from production standards.
- Minimization of losses due to defective batches.
- Configurable email and SMS notifications.
4. Flexibility in production planning and execution
Solution: Production planning module
Managing production schedules in cosmetics manufacturing often requires planning production orders based on specific formulas or customer orders. Our planning module offers:
- Dynamic assignment of production orders, considering changeovers and cleaning processes.
- Optimized scheduling based on real-time production data.
- Monitoring of production order execution with fast adaptation to changes.
- Integration with machine data using PLC controllers and IoT devices.
Why implement the Production Portal?
See what you can gain by digitally transforming chemical plants with the production portal.
Scalability
Solutions can be implemented gradually – from a single machine to an entire production line.
Cost optimization
Accurate data on media consumption and process efficiency enable a reduction in operational costs.
Traceability
Full tracking of raw material and finished product batches ensures compliance with regulations and quality standards.
Quick results
The system’s modules deliver measurable benefits within the first few weeks of implementation.
