Composable MES for Medical Devices
The Composable MES App Suite for Medical Devices and Diagnostics provides an accelerated path to building a digitally-native production system.
Recognized Leader in Frontline Operations
Medical device manufacturers need composability
Traditional MES can’t keep up with evolving regulations, increased personalization, or the complexity of modern medical device production. Tulip’s composable platform gives you modular building blocks to digitize and continuously optimize operations without vendor delays or compliance tradeoffs.
-
Support every role in a regulated environment
Give operators guided digital workflows, enable quality teams with real-time visibility and traceability, and equip IT with governance to scale securely.
-
Adapt to product, process, or regulatory changes
Update eDHRs, digital forms, and workflows as your product lines evolve without re coding or complex change control processes.
-
Modernize without disruption
Digitally transform without a rip-and-replace project. Deploy apps alongside your current systems, iterate quickly, and validate as you go.
Advantages of Composable MES
-
Human-Centric
Build digital workflows that reduce operator error and training time with interfaces operators actually want to use. Add AI copilots to guide work and enforce SOPs.
-
Fast, Iterative Roll Out
Say goodbye to all-or-nothing MES deployments. Launch right-sized, validated solutions in weeks, not months.
-
Open and Extensible
Integrate with your existing systems PLM, ERP, QMS, and test equipment via open APIs and connectors.
-
Flexible, Validatable Data Model
Track every unit, lot, and action with a data model designed for traceability and validation across complex device configurations.
-
Democratized Development
Enable quality and process engineers to create validated digital solutions using no-code tools with centralized IT oversight.
-
Modern Architecture
Leverage AI, connected systems, and real-time data to streamline quality, accelerate production, and ensure audit readiness.

Tulip is recognized by industry analysts and customers alike as a leading MES solution for regulated industries, including medical devices and diagnostics. Gartner and Forrester have highlighted Tulip as a pioneer in composable, no-code MES, and Tulip consistently ranks as a category leader on G2 for ease of use, customer satisfaction, and speed to value.
Unlike rigid, monolithic systems, Tulip’s composable, no-code platform allows manufacturers to create intuitive, error-proof workflows that guide operators and reduce compliance risks. With automated audit trails, eDHR/eBR, seamless integrations with ERP, PLM, and QMS systems, and flexible data structures, Tulip enables rapid deployment, continuous improvement, and full end-to-end traceability. This combination of agility, compliance, and usability makes Tulip uniquely suited to help medical device manufacturers build it right the first time, every time.
-
Tulip embeds compliance directly into frontline workflows through features like electronic device history records (eDHR), automated audit trails, and regulation-compliant electronic signatures. This ensures every production step is documented, traceable, and tamper-proof. By capturing data in real-time from operators, machines, and connected systems, manufacturers can respond to deviations faster and be fully prepared for audits without relying on manual paperwork
-
Paper-based logbooks and rigid MES systems create risks such as incomplete records, operator errors, and inefficient audits. Manufacturers often face delays in finding root causes, struggle with visibility into operations, and lose time to manual compliance documentation. Legacy MES solutions also lack flexibility for complex, high-mix assembly processes, making it harder to scale or adapt to changing regulations and market needs.
-
Tulip acts as a unifying data layer, connecting seamlessly with enterprise systems (ERP, PLM, MES, QMS) as well as legacy equipment and custom devices. Through pre-built connectors, OpenAPI, and device integrations, Tulip eliminates data silos and enables end-to-end traceability. This unified ecosystem allows real-time data sharing — from CAD drawings to work orders — so manufacturers can manage change effectively and maintain a single source of truth
