Source: TulipTulip has launched Factory Kit, the industry's first quick-start solution for powering digital manufacturing. The intuitive self-service solution includes everything that engineers need to quickly design, build and deploy manufacturing apps without writing code.
Factory Kit leverages Tulip's award-winning Manufacturing App Platform, which brings the power of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and advanced analytics to the front-line engineer and the associate on the shop floor. Manufacturing apps integrate human, sensor and machine data, allowing engineers to gain actionable insights, implement process changes and continuously improve their operations.
The kit provides sample apps and analytics ready to use out of the box, and includes the building blocks engineers need to get started with manufacturing apps, including a Tulip I/O Gateway that lets them connect their devices to the apps they build and the Tulip Light Kit for driving Pick-to-Light (PTL) processes. Also bundled with the kit are an array of IoT sensors and devices, including a break beam sensor, environmental sensors, barcode scanner, foot pedal and tower light.
Factory Kit lets engineers go from prototype to production in a few hours, on their own, without needing to know how to code. The time-to-value for the Kit is unprecedented in the industry.
