Case Study: Microchips Biotech strengthens design control and compliance with Cognition Cockpit

Supporting Growth With Guided Compliance

Microchips Biotech, Inc. develops implantable drug delivery and disease management systems, but as its project portfolio grew, the company struggled to keep design history file documentation, requirements, and risk information synchronized across many manually maintained documents. Cognition Corporation’s Cockpit platform was adopted to add rigor to design controls, requirements management, and traceability while fitting Microchips’ quality management system.

Using Cognition Corporation’s Cockpit, Microchips gained automatic traceability, trace matrix generation, and medical-device-specific templates for requirements and risk management, including support for ISO 14971-based preliminary hazard analysis. Cognition also provided one-on-one and small-group training to help the team customize templates and integrate documentation, enabling Microchips to reuse tools across new projects and manage growth more efficiently; the case study reports significant time savings by reducing manual error checking, though it does not provide numeric metrics.
