A canvas for your logic in Tulip
Simplify your app building with logic that can work with all of the resources you are already familiar with.
How does it work?
-
Start with a spark
Choose an event in Tulip to kick off your Automation.
-
Build your logic
Add action or decision blocks to create a powerful condition-based plan of action.
-
Run in the background
Let your Automations get tasks done for you, and alert the right people at the right time.
How Automations can help you
Stay alerted on machine changes
Alert an operator to machine downtime and schedule maintenance
- When the Machine State changes on a specific machine.
- Perform a Create/Update Table Record action on a specific table and add a new record with the specific information.
- Automations can help you respond to machine state changes in real-time, allowing you to dispatch work instructions or alerts to operators to help optimize equipment utilization.
Schedule reminders and tasks
Send training reminders to team members at the start of each week
- Dispatch work on a schedule
- Send reminders over email, SMS, or other business systems
- Set up logic to ensure that your team has the right training or tasks assigned at the start of their shift.
Process data from all of your systems
Know what is happening in your production
- When a row, like a unique Work Order, is updated in a Table
- Run a Connector to update the record in your ERP system
- Automations can help you create logic that runs in the cloud, pushing and pulling data between your systems to ensure everyone is in the loop.
“Automations is going to help us glue everything together in our operation.”
Ryan Infantozzi, Systems Engineer at VEKA Inc.
