Case Study: an orthodontic aligner manufacturer achieves compliance and doubles production capacity with Tulip

Custom Orthodontic Aligner Manufacturer Ensures Compliance With Tulip

A personalized orthodontic aligner manufacturer, a startup, needed to rapidly scale its production of custom medical devices while ensuring strict compliance with GMP requirements for class II devices. Their challenge was to train a new workforce and implement a seamless, paperless eDHR solution that would integrate with their custom software, error-proof processes, and support their growth without adding time to operator workflows. They chose to partner with Tulip to address these needs.

Tulip provided a flexible, end-to-end eDHR solution that delivered digital work instructions, automated data entry and 3D printer tasks, and implemented a pick-to-light system for packaging. This resulted in the company doubling its maximum production capacity to 5,000 parts per day within three months. Tulip’s system dramatically improved right-first-time metrics and slashed the time to print shipping labels from 3-4 minutes to 5 seconds, enabling a single operator to complete a task that previously took an entire shift in just 10 minutes.
