About

Tulip Interfaces is an industrial operations platform providing no-code apps and digital work instruction tools for manufacturing shop floors — enabling frontline workers to access step-by-step digital work instructions on tablets, collect quality data at the point of work, and track production metrics without requiring paper-based checklists or standalone quality systems. Founded in 2014 by Natan Linder and Rony Kubat in Cambridge, Massachusetts (spun out of MIT Media Lab), Tulip has raised approximately $135 million and serves manufacturers including electronics, medical device, and aerospace companies that need flexible frontline operations software.\n\nTulip's platform enables manufacturing engineers (not software developers) to build digital work instructions and data collection apps using a drag-and-drop interface — creating apps that guide operators through assembly steps, capture pass/fail quality checks, record measurements, and flag errors in real time. The apps run on tablets mounted at workstations and can integrate with machine sensors, IoT devices, and barcode scanners. Analytics dashboards aggregate production data from across the plant floor to provide OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and quality metrics.\n\nIn 2025, Tulip competes in the manufacturing operations platform market against Plex Systems (Rockwell Automation), Sight Machine, Tulip (itself), PTC's Vuforia Instruct, and legacy MES (manufacturing execution system) vendors for digital factory operations software. The frontline operations software market has significant replacement opportunity — most manufacturing companies still rely on paper-based checklists, spreadsheet tracking, and legacy MES systems that are difficult to modify. Tulip's no-code approach enables manufacturers to build custom apps rapidly without software engineers. The 2025 strategy focuses on enterprise manufacturer growth, deepening AI-powered quality defect detection through computer vision integrations, and expanding its analytics platform for plant-level operational intelligence.

About

Ankr is a Web3 infrastructure platform offering remote procedure call node access to more than 30 blockchain networks through a globally distributed network of nodes run by independent operators. Unlike centralized providers that operate their own data centers exclusively, Ankr's decentralized architecture routes requests across geographically distributed nodes, improving latency for users in regions underserved by US- or EU-centric infrastructure. Its public free-tier RPC endpoints — available for Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and dozens of others — have made Ankr one of the most widely used infrastructure providers in the multi-chain developer ecosystem.
