overall responsible that the company’s
IT systems deliver the data necessary to

not need t­raining, but only thorough in­
formation on how to use arolink as the
system is very intuitive to access for the
individual user.
The factory system arolink is standar­dized
to such an extent that Tulip’s own project
team can implement, operate and main­
tain arolink along with the selected super-­
users in the factories.
“Arotek’s performance and arolink ful­
ly live up to the demands we place from
each plant, and we always have a return
of investment that is at the low end,” says
