With Automations, you can set up workflows to move data around in Tulip or read/write to other systems.
Connectors
Connectors are how your Tulip apps can connect to other systems. Connectors can make API calls with HTTP Connectors, or pull data directly from SQL databases. Additionally OPC-UA Connectors can be used to retrieve Machine data.
Once pulled, data can be used throughout your applications.
Tulip Tables
Tulip Tables are a global location to store your production data. Tables are made up of Records (rows). A single can be accessed from multiple apps or stations at the same time.
Station
Stations are a digital representation of a physical place or device in your facility. Stations are 1:1 with Interfaces (display devices) running Tulip Player, but Stations can also be assigned Edge Devices, Tulip Vision Camera Configurations, Machines,and more.
Events
Events are Triggers fired by Custom Widgets. Users can configure as many Events as they want, and events can carry a payload of data to be used in a Trigger.
Automation
Workflow that performs tasks in the background, without an interface. Automations run logic every time an event occurs.
