Please help and provide me the details regarding this. appreciate
Hi Vineet - great question here. A lot of the answer will depend on the specifics and context of the business and deployment, but we can give some general advice. I will also connect you with the Tulip person who helps manage partners who can get more into the details with you.
- Design principles:
We have some Tulip University content that goes into detail around Tulip Solution Design that will be helpful. However, it can be good to involve Tulip Professional Services to review and discuss architecture and how to best set up deployments based on specific needs.

When it comes to instance architecture, again there are options, but here is an example of one of the most preferred architectures. Caveat being, of course, this may not be preferred for every business depending on their needs.

Security measures to be implemented:
Any specific recommendations here would require more information about your deployment, but this is good place to start: Tulip IT Security Guide -

As businesses begin to navigate the complex path to digital transformation across their business sites, there are a number of commonly encountered obstacles that can slow down progress and hinder a successful implementation. Recognizing these stumbling blocks early is crucial for leaders to act decisively and implement the strategic measures needed to overcome them.
Lack of Alignment: The absence of a unified vision and strategy for digital transformation shared by stakeholders across the business inevitably leads to disjointed approaches, missed opportunities, and duplicated effort.
Paralysis by Analysis: While thinking ahead and crafting a strategy is vital, manufacturers often fall victim to overplanning without action. This overburdening planning upfront leads to a slow start and hampers the agile, bottom-up process that is critical for digital transformation.
IT-OT Tensions: The priorities of IT (standardization and security) and OT (quickly solving problems) teams often clash, resulting in a tension that can delay or derail technology deployment efforts.
Inconsistent Environments: Diverse cultures, processes, and technical infrastructures across different sites — especially in businesses that have grown through acquisitions — create a complex environment that is tough to standardize.
Technical Acumen and Readiness: There is often a significant learning curve for executives and site leaders that are set in traditional manufacturing ways, with many lacking the technical understanding and readiness to embrace new digital solution
I hope this helps as a jumping off point!
