Tulip is really focused on bringing power to the front line worker. Anyone can pick up the product and within a few hours digitize a process. If you start to feel a little constrained by the tool you can upskill and create your own custom widgets and also connect to a wide array of datasources for further data processing. Support is knowledgeable, friendly, and timely.

When deciding on, or building, an MES solution I have worked with and tried a number of different methods and vendors. From writing my own custom solution, from the ground up, in VB6, Java, or C#. To using a ready built system supplied by some of the bigger names in the field, such as SAP Shop Floor and MS Dynamics. Along with these there are a plethora of smaller companies that have some ‘kind of’ MES system which they believe will tailor well to your situation. In my experience, none of these can compete with the power, speed, and completeness offered by Tulip Mfg. suite of MES tools. There offerings include a drag and drop, low-code, no-code solution, that delivers on that promise as well as any I have ever seen. They offer a complete solution, from interfaces to IOT and IIOT devices, to data collection and real-time SPC analytics and dashboards, to more in-depth, historical tools, as well as connectivity to Oracle and SQL Server databases, as well as to any number of ERP systems. There solutions allows you develop an operator interface that both captures all of the information you might need or want, but also provides a good experience to that operator. Which often means the difference between if they will use the MES tool or not. Sure, maybe I can get something more customized by doing it myself, but it would take at least 4 times as long. This is the future of most MES projects, in my experience, assessment, and opinion. There customer support and willingness to work with you, and create a solution and tools for your needs is second to none!

I like that it is approachable and the learning curve is not steep which makes implementation easy.
