Tulip Interfaces Connector
The Tulip–planeus connector is a ready-to-use integration that links Tulip apps with the planeus Planning & Control system.
For more details, you can also check the detailed demo video on Tulip Library made by Tulip Interfaces.
What is Tulip?
Tulip is a no-code frontline operations platform that helps manufacturers digitize, connect, and optimize their shop floor processes — without heavy IT projects or long development cycles.
- You can build custom apps (without coding) to guide operators, collect data, and automate tasks.
- It connects to machines, sensors, and other software systems through its open connectors.
- It provides real-time dashboards so you can see what’s happening in production as it happens.
What the Tulip–planeus Connector Does
At its core, the connector is a two-way link:
- planeus → Tulip: Deliver live schedules, job sequences, and assignments straight to operator apps.
- Tulip → planeus: Feed back status updates, downtimes, completions, and performance metrics instantly.
Possibilities with Tulip’s Ecosystem
A Flow of Truth example
This architecture showcases how manufacturers can structure an automated, hybrid data ecosystem by combining Tulip & planeus with complementary systems, bridging IT and OT through REST APIs, OPC UA, and MQTT.
With Tulip’s ecosystem, the possibility is endless:
- Endless Integrations Combineplaneus schedules with ERP, WMS, QMS, or BI tools using Tulip’s open connectors. Your planning data becomes a part of your entire digital factory.
- AI & Automation Use Tulip’s machine learning and automation tools to predict delays, optimize resources, or trigger alerts — powered by planeus schedule data.
- No-Code Flexibility Build custom Tulip apps tailored to your workflows:
- Show workers their next job instantly.
- Guide setup instructions dynamically.
- Capture andons automatically.
- IoT, MQTT Brokers, UNS, OPC-UA & Edge Connectivity Connecting machine signals or sensors directly into Tulip as an data hub. Then, by connecting Tulip to planeus, it ensures that planeus instantly reflects any stoppage, speed change, or quality signal.
How to Get Started
- In Tulip, open the Connectors section and add the planeus connector.
- Configure your planeus API endpoint and authentication.
- Start using prebuilt connector functions, or extend them into your own Tulip apps.
