I hope Insights Hub can support a UMS idea and solution in the future. If we have a UMS hub or data center, Insights Hub could integrate with our database, allowing us to share one data center regardless of whether it is our MES system, SCADA system, or Insights Hub, which would be more efficient for a global company. Insights Hub could connect to our UMS data center, which would eliminate the need to rebuild a connection between the shop floor and Insights Hub. Additionally, Insights Hub could support MES functions, allowing us to integrate with the production line and transfer the ERP order from the ERP to our shop floor, thus helping the ERP be more efficient. This would include performing a buy-off from the shop floor to the ERP and adjusting the production plan for the ERP production order for greater efficiency in our production planning. I hope we can achieve MES functions in an IoT solution such as Insights Hub. One point I am not so satisfied with regarding Insights Hub is the gateway, which I believe runs on a Linux or Unix OS but does not display well for our end-users. This requires us to ask for help and support from our IT department as we cannot perform what we can do with a Windows device, such as RDP to the gateway and monitor any issues inside. Sometimes we do not know the issue exactly and have to check the log, which is very complex for the end-user.

Digital workflows have replaced paper on the shop floor and speed up regulated manufacturing
Definitely, AI in a regulated industry is something that is a concern of the clients. However, Tulip can stick to 21 CFR Part 11 strictly when it comes to Tulip's AI capabilities. Tulip has already started to look forward to compliance-related things. For example, Tulip's AI widget offers data reading throughout the site. It does not allow any AI to interact with external systems when we apply firewalls on it. In this regard, if Tulip continues in that way, they can definitely stick to the governance and security. As of now, I didn't face any issue related to their AI capabilities. It is working fine but not accurate, which is a red flag in a GXP regulated system. This is my feedback on their AI capabilities. This has been introduced into the latest LTS version and needs more hands-on experience. Before that, I cannot give a direct justification or feedback on their AI capabilities being reliable and accurate. However, at the extent that I have used them, they are accurate and reliable as of now. Tulip is an emerging platform and being a cloud-native MES, it has a lot to improve. According to me, traditional MES like FactoryTalk PharmaSuite has more complex features and user-oriented use cases and complexities that the application itself handles. However, when it comes to Tulip, all the things that matter are in the hands of a developer. That is something that Tulip can improve on. Tulip can switch to a traditional way of delivering in the pharmaceutical industry while keeping the cloud-native impact intact. One improvement that I can give an example of is that Tulip has application templates. Instead of templates, they can offer concrete applications to their pharmaceutical or any specific industrial client for their specific needs, such as a recipe designer and production management for a pharmaceutical client. Then production or material tracking or BOM tracking for a discrete client. In that way, I can see an improvement where Tulip can perform well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Insights Hub has provided significant positive impact to my organization, including 30 to 50 percent faster incident resolution, fewer SEV one outages, reduced alert fatigue by 20 to 30 percent, better SLA compliance, and increased customer satisfaction."
"Given that great variety and diversity of machines, the main characteristic of Insights Hub is that it allows me to talk to that diversity of machines, and therefore I can extract data from them and monitor my plant without needing to use additional developments or additional configurations."
"Insights Hub is a good IoT solution and cloud solution, with easy to normal implementation difficulty for a company, and it can provide some help for our company to do modifications or adjustments."
"Insights Hub is an overall major good framework for everybody to monitor the shop floor."
"For projects that would take two to three days in other applications, Tulip allows us to complete them in one day."
"Organizations should start using Tulip as soon as possible."
"In a general sense, I can say a client saves 60 to 70 percent when it comes to Tulip compared to the traditional MES when it comes to money."
"We have achieved significant profit in our organization, building around one hundred apps in the last three years using Tulip that are all in production and running successfully, with huge accolades and appreciations from clients."
"What has really improved is the time taken to develop and deploy applications, as we save many work weeks in the development phase and have shortened the process compared to the conventional way of programming, while also saving time for operators and improving data accuracy."
"Tulip is a pre-configured tool where all fields and options are readily available on the Tulip platform, which impressed me when I evaluated it from a CSV perspective and development perspective."
"The best features Tulip offers include the fact that it is fairly easy to set up and allows you to connect things."
"Tulip has changed my life, as I started using it just for making some inventory, and now I'm moving forward to digitalize 100% of the facility."
 

Cons

"One point I am not so satisfied with regarding Insights Hub is the gateway, which I believe runs on a Linux or Unix OS but does not display well for our end-users."
"As of now, Insights Hub is an under-developed platform, so there is no organization-level impact."
"The learning curve is steep as it requires skill to fully utilize and is not very beginner-friendly, and querying can be complex."
"Insights Hub has a connection with Grafana, but I would like it to be improved."
"As of now, I didn't face any issue related to their AI capabilities. It is working fine but not accurate, which is a red flag in a GXP regulated system."
"In terms of integration and analytics, I do not see any other special features that Tulip provides that other modern market solutions do not provide, such as Ignition, Siemens Opcenter, and many other applications."
"Tulip can be improved to have a lower entry point."
"Tulip can do a lot better in user interface."
"Tulip can improve by providing additional features developers can use in the application."
"For complex applications, Tulip is not equipped well as of now."
"One way Tulip can be improved is that the biggest challenge is if you already know programming. Tulip is extremely hard to set up because it doesn't follow standard programming rules."
"However, if you want a much larger version with better scalability and more UI features, you can consider other products."
