Pratt Miller Engineering Gains Competitive Edge with Rapid Process Adaptation Using Tulip

Pratt Miller Engineering, part of Oshkosh Corporation, needed to rapidly adapt manufacturing processes for defense programs including the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) and Tele-Operated Modular Transporter (TMT) where design changes are frequent and production quantities are small.

Deployed Tulip to digitize work instructions and production workflows for defense vehicle assembly, enabling the engineering team to push process updates to the floor in hours rather than days. Connected devices and barcode scanning provided real-time production tracking for complex, low-volume builds.

Achieved the ability to rapidly adapt manufacturing processes in response to engineering changes on defense programs. Reduced the lead time to deploy updated work instructions to operators. Improved production traceability and audit readiness for defense contracts.

Defense manufacturing for low-volume, high-complexity vehicles requires a process management system that can adapt as fast as the engineering design changes. Tulip's no-code platform gives engineering teams direct control over floor-level work instructions without IT bottlenecks.
