It would be great to have http and SQL connectors as datasources for analytics. This would allow us to make dashboards that combine Tulip data and external data (ERP, logistics …) without duplicating data to Tulip tables.
@bernard.castelein Thank you for the suggestion! Which kind of data are you looking to display in the dashboard? Can you explain your use case a little bit more?

The use case I’m working on, we would like to display the number of planned trucks that will arrive today. This data lives in ERP and not in MES, but it is relevant to display it in a dashboard on the shopfloor.
This is just an example: we do Tulip projects in different industries and see all kind of possible usage. A typical example we see often is to display a summary of production orders while they are not yet released for the shopfloor, so before they are transfered to Tulip.
