Lean Manufacturing Software That Keeps Up With Your Kaizens
Your CI team authors the andon boards, kanban loops, audits and standard work themselves, then changes them the week the improvement is found.
Improvement ideas outrun the capacity to implement them. Changing a work instruction, an audit, or a kanban loop means a ticket queue or a vendor release window, so the backlog grows fastest in the programs working best.
The standard on the floor stays months behind what the team already knows.
Configurable app suites from the Tulip Library, connected to what your machines and operators are doing right now.
Operators raise an alert from the station. It routes to a named person and escalates when it goes overdue.
Hold a part at the station until it passes. Vision detectors verify what an operator can miss.
Versioned digital work instructions that get revised when the standard does, with approvals.
Runs manually with no machine connection, or automatically once the machine is on the network.
Tulip is a composable operations platform. The workflows are yours to build and change, with native AI to speed the building, governance that holds across sites, and real-time production data available on-demand.
The process engineers who know the work build and change the workflows themselves, without a vendor ticket or a place in a development queue.
Turn documents you already have into working apps, ask questions of your operations data in plain language, and hand routine workflow steps to agents. Agents are in beta.
Data lands in Tulip as operators work and machines run, so dashboards show the current state of the line instead of yesterday's numbers.
Every change is versioned and, where you need it, approved before deploying. What works at one site moves to the next. Both sit on the Enterprise plan.
Customer stories
See how leading manufacturers use Tulip to improve their operations. Select a company to see the detail behind each result.
“We’ve seen our quality issues drop dramatically because the machine can’t enter production without a first-piece inspection.”
Four US extrusion sites moved off a homegrown system, paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets onto one standard that each site could skin differently.
Andon boards, kanban loops, audit checklists and standard work are authored in the App Editor without writing code. Process engineers and CI leads do the authoring; operators run what's published. An existing PDF procedure can be converted into a starting app rather than rebuilt.
Tulip connects to the systems already running your floor instead of asking you to replace them. Machine data and your system of record both come in, along with what gets captured during assembly.
Tulip connects to SAP and other major ERPs, so production data doesn't live in two places.
OPC UA and MQTT connect natively, part of 700+ device integrations that bring machine and sensor data in alongside what operators enter by hand.
60+ pre-built connectors cover the QMS, PLM, and other business systems most manufacturers already run, plus an open API for anything else.
