Tulip

Tulip develops cloud-based frontline operations software for manufacturers that want to digitize work where production happens. Its Frontline Operations Platform lets operations teams build and deploy connected applications without heavy custom coding, linking operator workflows, machine data, materials, quality events, and enterprise data in one operating layer. The platform is positioned for both continuous improvement and day-to-day execution, with support for AI-enabled workflows, real-time visibility, and GxP-ready deployments.

Tulip is used to replace paper, spreadsheets, and rigid point tools with configurable apps, connected devices, and analytics that can evolve by site, line, or use case. Its portfolio spans downloadable content, app suites, edge hardware, and production intelligence capabilities that help manufacturers improve traceability, responsiveness, and standardization across single plants and multi-site operations.

Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations

Tulip’s offering centers on configurable frontline applications, operational data capture, machine and device connectivity, and real-time analytics. Teams can build or adapt apps with a no-code approach, reuse shared data structures, and deploy workflows that guide operators, collect contextual data, and trigger actions based on events from people, machines, or systems.

Beyond app building, Tulip supports enterprise integration and scale. Its connector framework and edge connectivity support HTTP, SQL, MQTT, Node-RED, and OPC UA patterns, and the Library includes connectors and content for common enterprise and manufacturing environments. Tulip also supports multi-site governance through shared resources and Workspaces, while its Microsoft and cloud integrations extend into tools such as Dynamics, Excel, Teams, Power Automate, Data Factory, and external AI services.
