Tulip provides an AI-native, no-code platform that connects people, machines, devices, and systems across the production floor. The platform enables manufacturers to improve quality, efficiency, and end-to-end traceability by empowering frontline teams to address operational challenges without requiring custom code.
The company was founded by engineers from MIT Media Lab who have spent over a decade pioneering frontline operations technology. The team includes former members from Formlabs, Autodesk, Solidworks, Markforged, and Samsung, bringing deep expertise in industrial design, software development, and manufacturing systems.
Tulip addresses longstanding manufacturing challenges including reliance on spreadsheets and legacy systems, failed Industry 4.0 initiatives, and the difficulty of achieving real-time visibility into production. The platform is built on the principle that frontline workers are the most valuable resource in any operation, with a focus on democratising technology and enabling those closest to operations to drive continuous improvement and measurable business outcomes.
