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.
