ABB Electronic Work Instructions vs. Tulip

The ECS Electronic Work Instructions module provides manufacturing information and instructions, which are automatically displayed to the right user through an easy-to-use and intuitive interface. The module supports certification, procedures, drawings, safety instructions, shift notes and any other type of electronic documents and helps eliminating paper driven production process and time of redundant data entries. Thanks to instant messaging support the module enables delivery of the most important information to the shopfloor in the shortest time.

Tulip is a composable platform that manufacturers use to build and connect apps, automations, and AI agents capable of running their operations, giving them a single governed system that can replace or extend legacy MES and other point solutions as their operations change. Core Value Proposition Tulip addresses three problems that come from fragmented operations software. Data and processes end up siloed across separate systems, AI tools lack manufacturing context or governance, and platforms force operations to conform to the software instead of the other way around.
