Production Management Software
See what's happening on the floor while it's still happening
Tulip collects data from your operators, machines, and sensors onto dashboards your supervisors can read at a glance, so bottlenecks surface while the shift is still running.
Why teams choose Tulip for production management
Know where every order is without walking the line
Traditional operations rely on delayed reports and static spreadsheets. Tulip connects directly to your machines and operators, giving you a live, real-time view of your shop floor so you can track performance exactly as it happens.
- Track where individual work orders, lots, batches, and units are right now
- Capture data from operators, machines, sensors, and scales into one place
- Build dashboards for a station, a line, a cell, or the whole site
- Automate data entry with barcodes, RFID tags, and connected devices
Turn a downtime number into a downtime reason
Most systems make you dig through historical data to find the root cause of a delay. Tulip automatically highlights downtime and bottlenecks, allowing your team to instantly pinpoint the exact issue and keep production moving.
- Calculate and display OEE with the operator context sitting behind each number
- Log the downtime reason from the operator at the moment the machine stops
- Measure cycle time and first-pass yield to find where throughput is actually lost
- Rank lost time by cause so improvement work goes to the biggest one first
Improve your process the same week you find the problem
Most systems stop at the dashboard, slowed down by support tickets and vendor delays. Tulip lets the engineer who finds the problem instantly edit, test, and deploy the solution, ensuring changes hit the floor while the data matters most.
- Edit an app and move it through test and approval without waiting on a vendor release
- Start from an existing SOP or document with AI Composer instead of a blank canvas
- Reuse a change that worked on one line across other lines and sites
- Keep version history and approvals on every change, so moving fast doesn't cost you control
Agents for production management
Composable AI Agents take on the coordination work that usually eats a supervisor's morning. Shift Handoff Summary turns stations, work orders, quality results, and equipment status into a single handoff for the incoming shift. Agents run under the permissions of whoever invoked them, and every action lands in the same audit trail.
Connect the equipment you already have
Networked machines come in over OPC UA and MQTT. USB tools like torque controllers, scanners, and scales plug straight into the station, and machines with no PLC or network port connect through current clamps on the power source.
Real-time dashboards
Build a view for a station, a line, or the whole site, and change it when the question changes. A supervisor can assemble one from a prompt rather than filing a ticket and waiting on a BI team.
Alerts and escalation
Send a reported downtime event, an out-of-spec reading, or an andon call to the person who can fix it, on the channel they actually check. The time lost to each event gets logged instead of absorbed.
How manufacturers use Tulip for traceability and compliance
Production Tracking
See where individual work orders, lots, batches, or units are right now. Measure cycle times and first-pass yield without anyone stopping to write a number down.
Manufacturing Dashboards
Display the status and health of a line, cell, or machine at a glance. Configure what each screen shows without waiting on a BI team.
OEE Tracking
Pair machine and sensor data with operator context to see past the OEE number. Track downtime reasons, defect trends, and calibration needs in one view.
Work Order & Material Tracking
Schedule and track work orders, materials, and jobs across the operation. Keep the floor and the ERP pointed at the same status.
Sample Management
Track every sample's chain of custody with sensors, label printers, and barcode scanners. Produce audit-ready records as the samples move.
Machine Monitoring
Turn raw machine signals into real-time floor visibility. Automated triggers instantly flag downtime to accelerate issue resolution.
Don't just take our word for it...
Hear from operations teams running their production on Tulip today.
From the ideation to the implementation was somewhere between five and 10 days. If that was a traditional system, that would have probably been five to 10 months.
We went from relying on paper and guesswork to having real-time insights and control over our entire operation. This transformation wasn't just about improving efficiency—it was about preparing TICO for the future.
