Tulip is trusted by manufacturers of all sizes to revolutionize their frontline operations.

Lack of visibility into equipment performance?

  • Downtime Causes are Unclear

    Production managers and operators are often unaware of the root causes of equipment downtime, leading to inefficiencies.

  • Scrap and Defects Remain High

    Without timely data, manufacturers struggle to reduce scrap and defects, impacting overall product quality and costs.

  • Manual Data Collection is Inefficient

    Paper-based tracking of equipment performance is time-consuming and prone to human error, limiting process optimization.

  • Inconsistent Performance Monitoring

    Outdated systems lack the ability to monitor and visualize equipment utilization in real-time.

MES solution for agile companies

One of the best features is the ability to use the latest technology to rapidly solve challenges that are unique to our operations. Rapid development/deployment of solutions takes hours or days, everything is scalable. With Tulip we can implement the latest manufacturing methods in a small or large footprint without committing to large software packages where the investment dictates the direction. If we try something and it doesn't work, we move on to the next thing. We don't force a subpar solution because we "bought" a feature.

The results and practical application of solutions drive the development. Some solutions are long term while others are for the moment. Development of apps around your current workforce is possible, you can design the interface to match the comfort level of the users. Implementation that is customized to the user results in a much higher usage rate.

There is a vast and active community that develops solutions and features ahead of official releases. Often you can find a solution for a near identical problem that someone else has already solved. Customer service and technical help is fast and responsive. API integrations are available for many other software’s which allows you to use Tulip as a UI for all of them.

The platform for innovation for teams of all sizes

I have used Tulip to build two complete manufacturing operations from the ground up, I have been able to set up the data collection I need, been able to set up in process quality checks, integrate hardware, and built-in traceability in a scalable way with a very small team. Tulip has allowed me to move quickly but ensure I can keep accurate records of the data that matters most.

Industry 4.0 made easy!

Tulip allows you to leverage powerful applications to improve your processes. It allows you to build eDHRs, electronic work instructions, and much more to augment your processes, replace or eliminate mundane operations, automate, and connect numerous company softwares like SAP right into your applications. It eliminates tons of waste, and for us in building interactive work instructions saves, time, money, and improves quality.

For Management it allows you to easily build a visual system on your floor and gives you easy to configure dashboards that capture your information in real time allowing you to pivot quickly to changes and challenges.

We currently are in our POC phase where work and building in these awesome features has made this software so easy to impliment on our product line. We currently use it on approximately 20 work stations with interactive IO and smart tools and setup was incredibly easy.

Customer support is incredibly quick and always willing to help you solve your problem.
