Rubik Partners with Tulip, a Gartner-Recognised Frontline Operations Leader

Empowering British & Irish Manufacturing

At Rubik, our mission has always been to support and elevate the manufacturing sectors across the UK and Ireland. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a significant partnership with Tulip, a company whose innovative approach to frontline operations is setting new industry standards.

Why Tulip? Excellence Recognised by Gartner

We’re delighted to align with Tulip, recently named as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Gartner specifically highlighted Tulip’s composable architecture, AI-powered features, low code/no code capabilities, and extensibility for regulated and discrete industries.

Modern manufacturers need frontline operations systems that are adaptable and future-proof. Tulip’s platform fits this description perfectly, offering:

• Composable App Suites: Tailored for various sectors like discrete, biopharma, and regulated discrete manufacturing.
• Extensive Integration: A growing library of 60+ connectors to enterprise systems (e.g., SAP) and production equipment.
• Tulip AI: Purpose-built Frontline Copilots to assist operators with SOPs, manuals, and data sheets.
• AI Composer: Allowing users to generate apps directly from PDFs, with interactive inputs.

What This Partnership Means for British & Irish Manufacturers

This collaboration is about combining Rubik’s deep understanding of the specific needs of manufacturers with Tulip’s cutting-edge technology. We’re talking about:

• Boosting Efficiency: Streamlining workflows and getting real-time insights crucial for competitiveness in the region.
• Enhanced Data Visibility: Bridging the gap between shop floor operations and enterprise-level data.
• Empowering the Workforce: Equipping operators with the digital tools and data they need to excel and drive improvements.
• Accelerated Digital Transformation: Smoothly integrating Tulip’s platform with existing systems, minimising disruption and maximising benefits.
• Waste Reduction: Utilising data to minimise errors and improve production quality, directly impacting the bottom line.

Our strategy at Rubik has always been to align with best-in-class technology vendors, and for the manufacturing shop floor, Tulip is leading the way.
