How AI is used

Tulip is a platform designed for frontline operations in manufacturing, including discrete, pharmaceutical, medical device, and aerospace sectors. It allows users to build custom applications for the shop floor using a no-code drag-and-drop editor.

The software supports production tracking, quality inspections, and equipment logbooks. By connecting to machines via edge devices and integrating with existing systems, it provides real time data and analytics to monitor operational performance.

Buyers should note the pricing model is based on active interfaces rather than per-user seats. This means costs are tied to the number of devices running the apps, such as tablets or workstations.

For those in regulated industries, the platform offers add-ons for GxP compliance, including e-signatures and auditable record history.
