Cogiscan
AI score: 76 / 100
Strong recommendation
Component-level traceability software for PCBA and electronics contract mfg
Type: plug-ins / best-of-breed · Tech: modern · Budget: SMB friendly ($10k–$70k/yr)
Core verticals: aerospace / defense, medical / bioscience, PCBA / EMS, electronics
Precision traceability platform for EMS and high-reliability PCBA manufacturers. Records component-level data for every board — materials, process settings, measurements — with full forward and backward trace. Open architecture integrates with MES and ERP systems.
editor's note: Narrower scope than Aegis FactoryLogix — Cogiscan is a precision traceability instrument rather than a full MES. Best fit for shops with strict IPC-1752, AS9102, or FDA traceability requirements.
Best-in-class component-level traceability plugin for IPC-1752, AS9102, and FDA-regulated PCBA — purpose-fit score is high within its niche; no public pricing is the main friction.
AI score breakdown — 6 dimensions
SMB implementability 25%62
Hardware installation (TTC hubs) plus software setup — requires technical resources. Not self-guided but scope is narrower than ERP implementation.
Purpose fit 20%88
Best-in-class component-level traceability for IPC-1752, AS9102, and FDA-regulated PCBA and electronics assembly. Narrow but extremely deep within its specific niche.
Tech modernity 20%82
Modern cloud architecture, open API integrations with major MES and ERP platforms. Active product development continuing post-Cogiscan acquisition by ASC International.
Documentation quality 15%65
Technical documentation available. Integration documentation accessible. Pre-sales transparency on pricing limited.
Real user sentiment 10%68
Positive feedback from high-reliability electronics manufacturers. Limited review volume given the niche scope.
TCO transparency 10%35
No public pricing. Hardware costs (TTC hubs) plus software licensing require direct engagement to estimate.
