Evocon vs Tulip

Evocon is OEE software for manufacturers that need real-time production visibility and ways to identify waste. Shift View tracks performance across shifts, dates, stations, factories, and countries. The OEE dashboard presents live production insights, while Factory Overview shows machine and factory status. Production reports support analysis, and digital checklists automate recurring checks using current machine data. A sensor detects products on a line or machine and sends collected information through Evocon’s IIoT device over the internet. Evocon describes ERP and other manufacturing integrations, with integrations offered as an add-on on Professional. The license includes support, updates, maintenance, firmware updates, implementation and configuration help, training, onboarding, and unlimited users. Hardware and shipping, integrations, custom development, and on-site visits cost extra. Plans are priced per machine on a one-year agreement: Basic is €189 a month, Professional 249.00 EUR, and Enterprise 319.00 EUR. A 30-day trial starts when production data is visualized.

Tulip is a composable frontline operations platform for production workflows, visibility, and operational improvement. Its no-code tools let teams build guided workflows, management terminals, and dashboards using a common data model. Real-time analytics and automations connect actions across machines, apps, and enterprise systems. AI agents can use operational data to surface issues, draft changes, and act within team-defined guardrails. Manufacturing use cases include digital work instructions, production tracking, OEE dashboards, quality inspection, traceability, and electronic batch records. Tulip connects with ERP, PLM, and other business systems through HTTP and SQL connectors, an API, and an on-premise Connector Host; machine connections use Node-RED, MQTT, and OPC UA. It supports more than 700 devices. The SaaS product has no free plan or perpetual license. Essentials costs $100 a month, billed annually per interface, with a 10-interface minimum; Professional costs $250 a month on the same basis and minimum.
