Benefits for Customers
Digitize your manufacturing processes with the knowledge of your employees
The most commonly used medium in production is still paper. Assembly instructions, quality checklists, process documentation or rework records are mostly paper documents. The data recorded on them therefore first has to be manually evaluated to uncover optimization potential and reasons for productivity losses.
With TULIP you can:
- Capture data of processes by digitising them
- Optimize processes based on data
- Increase productivity through streamlined interaction on the whole shopfloor
- Conserve knowledge of all employees through the no-code approach
Tackle challenges with TULIP
- Challenges
- Isolated IT-systems have limited functionality
- Existing IT is not tailored to your process
- No customizing of existing off-the-shelf software
- High costs and efforts for customizing - Solutions with TULIP
- Self-Service: Create custom-made APPs without prior programming knowledge
- APP-Templates: Templates to adapt to your processes
- Plug & Play loT: Easy integration of IoT devices in TULIP
- Interfaces: Easy connection to existing ERP and MES systems

Use the visual APP editor to create user-friendly and functional APPs that increase the productivity of your shopfloor processes - without any programing knowledge. Create customised APPs from scratch or quickly adapt one of the more then 70 extensive APP templates to your individual needs.
Shop floor management through systematic data collection
All data collected with TULIP APPs from employees, sensors and machines can be automatically analyzed, displayed in dashboards or can be expressed in important KPIs. In this way you can automatically obtain real-time analyses of your production, recognise the reasons for productivity losses more quickly and can immediately take countermeasures that lead to continuous process improvement.
Full integration of IoT tools
Digital sensors and tools can be easily connected to TULIP APPs. TULIP supports a variety of devices and standard protocols. For example, digital tools such as measuring equipment, digital Torque screwdrivers, pick-to-light or RFID can be linked to TULIP via Plug & Play.
Simple connection to existing IT systems
You can connect TULIP to your existing IT infrastructure (via SQL, REST API and http) such as your ERP, MES or CAQ system via common software interfaces in order to exchange data. TULIP is therefore not an isolated solution but an open system that seamlessly complements your system architecture. The interfaces allow you to push/pull data exchange with your existing applications to connect your shopfloor with the backend. Track and document work orders, inventories, parts lists, tool usage and more.
Machine monitoring with just a few clicks
Connect your machines and devices with your TULIP APPs. Read machine data via OPA UA, MQTT or Modbus from your DMG MORI machines as well as your old and 3rd party machines. Record operation and set-up times and be actively notified in case of unplanned downtimes, in order to resolve any occurring downtimes more quickly.
NEW: Digital worker guidance with your TULIP APPs on the machine
Create your individual APPs for your machines - without any programming knowledge. Starting with the latest CELOS version, your APPs can even be viewed by your employees on your machine panel. This means that all relevant job information is available to your machine operators with a single click in the form of setup instructions, quality checklists, trainings or APPs for tool management.
