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.

Building AI-assisted disposable research tools has transformed how I automate data gathering
I believe IntelliSense is a good tool to work with, but I wish it could be strengthened in terms of auto suggestions and code rectification. It is efficient at this moment but has room for improvement. Firstly, there is room for improvement in IntelliSense auto suggestion and auto compilation. Although it is very good and robust, it can be improved. Secondly, I have noticed that it sometimes takes a little time to start up and can be a bit slow, perhaps because it consumes lots of RAM or CPU resources. If that can be improved, it would be beneficial. Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability. At the moment, while AI provides suggestions, I have to review and edit them. Although it has its concerns, it is good in that AI now gives a first draft, whereas in the past, humans had to write everything from scratch.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The best features Tulip offers include the fact that it is fairly easy to set up and allows you to connect things."
"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."
"Since using Tulip, my organization has positively transitioned from a lot of manual documentation for GMP compliance to digital, significantly reducing paperwork and now maintaining data retention within Tulip instead of manually."
"Organizations should start using Tulip as soon as possible."
"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."
"Implementing Tulip has positively impacted our organization as we have transitioned from paper MBR and EBR to Tulip's online MBR, significantly reducing the time operators spent manually documenting activities, which also made audit trials easier to manage."
"Tulip is really about empowering people to build applications, and those people who build the applications are not necessarily only technical experts or developers."
"Capability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 means it is supporting all things like testing for my testing purpose, as well as the development; everything is integrated in Visual Studio Professional 2022."
"Visual Studio has pretty good support for Git conflict resolving features."
"Visual Studio Professional 2022 is a fully functional IDE with advanced capabilities that provide an edge over other platforms."
"The benefits that Visual Studio Professional 2022 provides combined with the pricing makes it a good choice."
 

Cons

"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."
"Tulip can be improved to have a lower entry point."
"I believe it is still at the beginning and not really advanced for the part I was using, so it could be improved."
"Tulip can improve with better or closer support in developing the applications, especially when we as a pharmaceutical company would have our specific requirements and needs that are mandatory for our industry."
"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."
"Regarding the needed improvements for Tulip, regarding integration that you mentioned, because you have a bunch of features of third-party connections, it is not enough."
"However, if you want a much larger version with better scalability and more UI features, you can consider other products."
"Tulip can improve by providing additional features developers can use in the application."
"Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability."
"Currently, Visual Studio Professional 2022 is not supporting the .TS, TypeScript code, which is a disadvantage, because with Playwright, we can do that in C#, but having Playwright code with TypeScript, I am not able to see any project or any suggestion about the .TS code."
"One area I could suggest regarding improvements in deployment efficiency using Visual Studio Professional 2022 is that the context-aware code suggestion should be more tailored."
"Apart from the editing feature, I would like to see improvement in Visual Studio Professional 2022 because performance has dropped significantly, making it currently about 100 times slower than Qt Creator, which is unreasonable to use in a multi-core environment such as the 128 cores that I use."
