TULIP

You do not need any professional knowledge of programming to use TULIP.Any on-site worker can easily create applications with a variety of functions, including operating procedures, quality control, and equipment monitoring, all by themselves. TULIP makes possible digitization of currently paper-based operating procedures and quality check sheets, visualization of production data, process improvement, and much more. This allows operators to flexibly respond to changes in product specifications and/or manufacturing processes. Additionally, TULIP can link to measuring instruments and existing systems at the manufacturing site, making it a perfect product for customers who are working on site-oriented process improvement and digitization.
TULIP also features a high level of flexibility and can be applied to a wide variety of industries. For example, it can be used to create operating procedures and as a quality and traceability management system in pharmaceutical manufacturing. For food processing, TULIP can produce multi-lingual and/or video-based operating procedures. For logistics, TULIP can organize procedures for warehousing and packing. In the real estate industry, TULIP can be used as a means to streamline maintenance and inspections and building construction and repair, as well as maintain the quality of such tasks. These are only examples―TULIP can help work sites in whatever way your imagination takes you. TULIP is a product that can benefit not only machine tool users, but a whole variety of users, with a potential that goes beyond the conventional frame of our products in terms of the modes of service provision and the interaction with customers.
