Case Study: Medical Device Manufacturer achieves a next‑gen MES at one‑third the cost with Tulip

Medical Device Manufacturer Implements a Next-Gen MES at a Third of the Cost

Medical Device Manufacturer faced a six-month New Product Introduction (NPI) to scale a novel medical device in a greenfield assembly facility, moving production from a few engineer-built units to hundreds per month by frontline workers. They needed DFA/DMA practices, step-by-step eDHR capture for compliance, rapid onboarding without overwhelming staff, and real-time traceability—so they chose Tulip’s frontline operations platform.

Tulip implemented a validated, cloud-based solution with 90+ interactive apps guiding assembly, test, and repair to capture digital work instructions, process control data, and eDHRs. The result was a 100% paperless, real‑time DHR system with material/personnel/equipment traceability in minutes, on‑time product quality within the six‑month NPI window, faster root‑cause resolution, and a significantly lower investment compared to a traditional MES, enabling efficient scale-up and repeatable Industry 4.0 deployments.
