Tulip

I like TULIP in way of how to creaste apps, manage reporting or business analytics.

Pros

The support I received from Brian, Lisa and the rest of the staff when facing issues has been outstanding.

Cons

The license cost is unclear and there is a charge per interface. I suggest counting this per device instead of per interface. Additionally the table limit of 1000 rows restricts customization options for reporting based on our specific needs.

Tulip for startups

Pros

What I like about Tulip is its accessibility and the easy learning curve, making execution the simplest.

Cons

There are certain low hanging fruit such as instructive arrows that are missing and would greatly enhance the user experience.

The future of MES is here and its name is Tulip!

Pros

When it comes to deciding on or building an MES solution, I have tried various methods and vendors. From writing my own custom solutions from the ground up in VB6, Java or C# to using pre built systems from major players like SAP Shop Floor and MS Dynamics. I've also explored smaller companies offering some kind of MES system that they claim would fit well with my situation. However in my experience none of them can compete with the power, speed and completeness offered by Tulips suite of MES tools. Tulip provides a drag and drop, low code, no code solution that delivers on its promises like no other I've seen. Their offerings cover everything from interfaces to IoT and IIoT devices, data collection, real time SPC analytics and dashboards and more in depth historical tools, as well as connectivity to Oracle and SQL Server databases and various ERP systems. With Tulip I can develop an operator interface that captures all the necessary information and provides a great user experience which ultimately determines whether the MES tool is used or not. While I could potentially achieve something more customized by doing it myself, it would take at least four times longer. In my experience, assessment and opinion, this is the future of most MES projects. The customer support provided by Tulip and their willingness to work with you and create tailored solutions are unparalleled.

Cons

It would be great if Tulip supported more JavaScript libraries in their 'Custom Widgets' tool.

Satisfying way to bring legacy factories to the modern era

Pros

Designing, building and deploying applications to the shop floor is incredibly easy with Tulip. As someone who has developed multiple Tulip applications, I love how seamlessly they integrate with each other. The customer support available is excellent always assisting me in identifying possible solutions and providing information on serious updates.

Cons

I use Tulip every day for all the sites functions. The platform offers a fantastic range of features allowing for the implementation of multiple different systems.

The development and implementation of Tulip apps is satisfying

Pros

Building apps, implementing them and the overall ease of use, along with the end user experience.

Cons

It is not possible to undo multiple times and replicating features from other software like Access can be confusing and complex in Tulip. Some of the simplest features in other software may require more complex recreation in Tulip. The tables have smart capabilities but can be a bit of a nuisance to edit at times.

Airborn - Taunton HLA Project

Pros

The platform is user friendly, making it very easy to learn with its soft code and PowerPoint style display. It also offers great customization options tailored to personal needs.

Cons

I would like more personalized support after the project launch.

Flexible and Dynamic Platform to Enable Problem Solving

Pros

Tulip is highly customizable, allowing me to address specific problems and challenges. I don't need IT expertise to build applications, capture data and create visualizations.

Cons

The learning curve can be a bit difficult in the start. While the product is designed to function without IT it requires capable resources in non IT functions to drive its value effectively.

One of the Best low code platform focusing on ShopFloor digitalization

Pros

The platforms low code architecture covers 80% of the digital needs on the shop floor. I can add numerous tables and store unlimited data in the cloud. The automations offered by Tulip open up a world of possibilities, promoting a culture of citizen app development and fostering a digital mindset in manufacturing facilities. The platform incorporates Agile and DevOps, enabling swift solution deployments. The customer support is exceptional.

Cons

The machine monitoring controls lack logical functionalities and as a complete cloud solution, the platform does not address data loss due to connectivity issues. It would be better to have a bidirectional connection and advanced machine logic tables to meet specific MES expectations. Analytics are limited to a specific table/app and do not support joins or lookups.

Tulip is a powerful tool for Manufacturing data analysis

Tulip is a great platform in the manufacturing industry that is both powerful and intuitive. Creating and implementing apps is also very simple as you don�t have to compromise on advanced features. As a logic based programming language, the possibilities for the apps I create are endless. there is always a solution to any roadblock I encounter when defining what I want Tulip to do.

The customer support provided by Tulip is friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. Whenever I faced any issues or needed help with programming, the Tulip customer support always came through with solutions.

Cons

Tulips customer support promptly addresses any issues, missing features or bugs in the app, making it difficult to find out any least helpful feature. The platform continuously evolves throughout the year introducing new features and improvements.
