Tulip Library Release Notes – February 2026
"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."
—George Bernard Shaw
In this release we focused on two areas: making your data work harder outside of Tulip, and making your data model easier to expand inside of it.
🌟 Highlights
Two new connectors join the Library this month. One tackles interoperability head on. The other lets you generate polished, password protected PDFs straight from your Tulip data.
We also shipped nine Table Extensions. These are targeted add ons for your existing tables. Need calibration tracking on equipment? Quantity tracking on units? GHS safety info linked to materials? Just import the extension and the columns are already there. No manual setup required.
✅ New in the Library
🔗 i3X Connector
The Industrial Information Interoperability Exchange (i3X) is an open API initiative built to solve a growing challenge: getting systems to talk to each other in modern manufacturing environments. This connector brings that capability into Tulip.
📄 pdfGeneratorAPI Connector
Need to generate reports from Tulip data? This connector lets you build custom PDF templates and output password protected documents. Great for compliance documentation, quality reports, or anything you need in a shareable format.

🧩 Table Extensions
Extensions let you add targeted columns to your existing tables without starting from scratch.
A total of nine extensions are now available in the library:
- Material Definition – Laboratory Material Information: chemical ID, grade, safety docs, shelf life
- Material Definition – Storage & Environmental Limits: links materials to storage condition records
- Material Definition – GHS Safety Information: connects materials to GHS hazard classifications
- Units – Quantity Tracking: adds current quantity tracking to material containers
- Orders – Quantity Tracking: links materials to production schedules and tracks execution
- Defects – Disposition & Quantity Handling: captures quality issues and disposition decisions
- Equipment – Calibration: tracks calibration status and last calibration timestamp
- Equipment – Cleanliness: tracks cleaning status with last cleaned and dirty timestamps
- Equipment – Scale: manages weighing instruments with technical parameters
