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. We're particularly proud to partner with a platform recognised for its excellence.

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. This recognition underscores why we at Rubik believe Tulip is the ideal partner to drive digital transformation for our clients.

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.

This recognition from Gartner reinforces Tulip's position as a leader in the MES space and our confidence that this partnership will bring substantial benefits to our clients in British and Irish manufacturing.

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.

Rubik's role will be to ensure that these solutions are tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by manufacturers. We'll leverage our expertise to facilitate seamless implementation and provide ongoing support, ensuring our clients get the most out of this powerful partnership.

Roey Mechrez, Head of Ecosystem & EMEA GM, is please to have Rubik on board to support UK and Ireland manufacturers; 

"I’m pleased to welcome Rubik to Tulip’s ecosystem.

The UK and Ireland are strategic regions for Tulip’s growth, and building strong partnerships is critical to delivering value to our customers. Rubik brings deep expertise in connecting and simplifying manufacturing data — a great fit with Tulip’s composable, open approach to transforming operations.

Together, we aim to drive practical, fast impact for manufacturers, accelerate adoption of modern solutions on the shop floor, and advance a shared vision of a more connected, agile industry."

Rob Green, Director and Co-Founder at Rubik is Delighted to See The Partnership Come to Life

We are incredibly proud of becoming a Tulip Implementation Partner. 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. 

Tulip’s solution elegantly solves the challenge of integrating machine data with enterprise systems; the flexible, modular solution means that building and connecting features as needed allows manufacturers to start small and scale over time. The platform is also designed around human-centric, operator first UI and workflows, which leads to increased worker engagement, reduces errors on the shop floor, and therefore provides a more empowered, efficient workforce.

This partnership allows us to bring a new level of agility and data-driven intelligence to our clients. We are excited to build the future of manufacturing alongside Tulip!"
