A Data Model Fit to Your Operations
A common data model unifies data into a standard structure. Unlike traditional systems, you can easily evolve your data model to fit the needs of your operations.
-
Hit the Ground Running
Tulip comes with a common data model based on best practices for creating a composable MES.
-
Adapt and Evolve
Since you own your data model, you can add to it or adjust it with new attributes or objects as needed.
-
Enable True Composability
Give your engineers human-readable data schema to use when creating new solutions. Control who can access and change it.
Purpose Built for Frontline Operations
The Common Data Model is characterized by a base set of standard objects from fundamental categories that exist across general manufacturing.
-
Artifacts
are physical or operational. Physical artifacts are tangible objects used or produced during operations, like inventory. Operational artifacts are tangible or intangible elements or components that enable operations, like work orders.
-
Logs
is a shared ledger between applications. By default, historical data is tracked via App Completion and stored to Completion Records, but you can decide when and what to store to Log tables for your specific needs.
-
References
are any definitions or records that provide more context to a process.
Advantages of the Common Data Model
-
Own Your Model
Don’t tie your system to vendor specific data models. Have control over how your data is stored.
-
Flexible
Add attributes and tables to evolve your data model as your operations evolve.
-
Human-Readable
Store your data in an operationally meaningful way.
-
Easily Extensible
Take advantage of our ecosystem of building blocks to create your right-fit solution
-
Best Practices
Make connecting apps easy with streamlined data standardization.
-
Governance
Give admins the ability to adjust your data model as needed.
