Forge connects CAD, schematics, machines, maintenance, procurement, compliance, and operations into one verified industrial workflow. A machine fault on the floor becomes an engineering brief, a job update, and a procurement order — automatically, with a full trace of why.
Forge connects them, verifies them, and turns machine events into engineering, maintenance, procurement, and compliance action.
Today — without Forge
SOLIDWORKS / Creo / NX
Design lives here. Nothing else reads it.
IBM Maximo / SAP EAM
Work orders entered manually. Hours after the fault.
SCADA / HMI viewer
IT manages it. Maintenance can't touch it.
Excel / SharePoint
Procurement tracked in a spreadsheet someone maintains.
Separate ECAD tool
Schematics never match the installed machine.
Paper or PDF procedure
Technician arrives without the right drawing.
Fault to work order: 2–4 hours
Manual hand-offs. Data re-entered 3× across systems. No trace.
With Forge
ForgeCAD
Design is the source of truth. Every change propagates automatically.
ForgeMaint + ForgeOps
Work order created automatically — no manual decision required. Fault classified, context pre-filled.
ForgeMachine
Every machine's subsystems, PLC I/O, and fault history in one graph.
ForgeProcure
Parts reserved automatically when stock falls below threshold.
ForgeSchematics
Live schematics on the technician's iPad. Always current.
ForgeKnowledge
Every decision logged. Queryable in plain English. Full audit trail.
Fault to work order: automatic — no manual steps
Zero manual hand-offs. Full trace. Every system updated automatically.
How Forge Works
Every Forge product reads from and writes to the same graph. An alarm doesn't sit in a dashboard waiting for someone to notice — it becomes a work order, an engineering brief, and a procurement request automatically.
Total elapsed time from sensor breach to draft PO: seconds, not hours.

ForgeSchematics
Professional schematic editor. ForgeCAD integrated.
Standalone electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and controls schematic editor for macOS. Wire color standards, gauge calculator, dual-label system, Connection Proposal Engine, and Machine Takeover Wizard built in.
ForgeDesign
Machine concept to proposal. New builds, upgrades, consolidations.
Concept a new machine or analyze whether to consolidate existing equipment. Cycle time analysis, ROI calculation, side-by-side footprint comparison. Proposals as PDF. Wire swap plans to ForgeSchematics. BOMs to ForgeProcure.
ForgePLC
IEC 61131-3 code generation and PLC platform migration.
Write real Structured Text with a built-in function block library, or migrate SLC 500 and PLC-5 programs to ControlLogix. Tag names derived from comments. Module selection maps to ForgeProcure. Wire swap plan exported to ForgeSchematics.
ForgeHMI
HMI screens generated from your machine configuration.
Auto-generates operator interface screens from your ForgeOps machine config — motor status, VFD control, conveyor monitoring, robot cell views, safety stations. HTML5 runtime, Ignition XML export, no proprietary runtime license.
ForgeRobot
Real URScript. Real PLC handshake. Generated.
Generates deployable Universal Robots programs from machine specs — pick-and-place, machine tending, weld assist, vision-guided pick. Every robot program includes the matching IEC 61131-3 PLC handshake function block.
Core Manufacturing
Register → Monitor → Maintain → Procure
The machine lifecycle triad
Fault on the floor → ForgeOps diagnoses → ForgeMaint work order → parts from ForgeProcure. Automatic.
ForgeProcure
BOM-driven purchasing.
Vendor discovery and comparison that reads directly from the ForgeCAD BOM. AVL management, distributor API integrations, draft PO generation, and approved vendor lists — so the right part gets ordered from the right source.
Platform
Infrastructure underneath everything
ForgeHub
The event bus connecting everything.
Every action in every Forge product publishes to ForgeHub. Design changes trigger job updates. Machine alerts surface in ForgeOps. Custom integrations subscribe to the same event stream.
ForgeCloud
Managed cloud or self-hosted.
Deploy on your own servers or point it at your existing AWS, Azure, or GCP account. You own the infrastructure, you control the data. Skyfire provides the software, assists with setup, and monitors the deployment.
Governance & Intelligence
Comply, certify, know, recover
ForgeCompliance
ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949 — encoded.
A shared compliance standards library and scoring engine for the entire platform. Six major standards encoded as structured data. Feature flags that enforce compliance posture across every Forge product simultaneously.
ForgeCertify
2,224 tests. 0 failures. Signed.
Formal kernel certification for any B-rep geometry engine. Every ForgeCAD release ships with an Ed25519-signed test manifest. Run it on your own kernel or verify ours.
ForgeKnowledge
The why behind every automated decision.
Captures every work order, PM, fault diagnosis, and design change — and makes it queryable in plain English. Works fully offline. Set an API key to enable richer multi-hop AI answers.
ForgeRecovery
Continuous backup. Verified restores.
Health monitoring, file integrity scanning, and forensic recovery for the Forge ecosystem. Ed25519-signed audit manifests and chain-of-custody reports for FDA 21 CFR Part 11, AS9100, and CMMC audits.
Why Trust Forge?
Industrial software fails quietly. We built ForgeCertify so you don't have to take our word for it.

ForgeHub
Every action in every Forge product publishes to ForgeHub. Design changes trigger job updates. Machine alerts surface in ForgeOps. The entire platform is wired.
Deployment
Forge connects to your existing stack and runs alongside it. You don't decommission anything to get started. Connect one machine, watch what Forge does with the first fault, and expand from there.
No rip-and-replace
Forge reads from your CMMS, ERP, PLM, and SCADA. Your existing systems keep running.
Under 15 minutes to first event
Guided setup wizard. Windows engineers use the full feature set in a browser — no new hardware.
Historical data on day one
Forge imports your existing WO history, CAD library, and machine records — not a blank slate.
Business case
Automatic fault-to-work-order vs 2–4 hours manual. Repeat failures that become design changes instead of recurring repairs. Engineering changes that reach every machine, not just the ones the email reached.
Build your current workflow, scale it to your operation, and see the picture. No email. No assumptions. Adjust anything that doesn't match.
Your use case
And we adapt to customer needs faster than anyone else.
Manufacturing operations aren't all the same. Your machines, your workflow, your constraints, your existing stack — they're yours. If the standard picture doesn't fit, don't walk away. Show us exactly how you operate.
We'll show you how Forge handles it — or we'll build what's missing. That's not a sales promise. It's how every product in this platform came to exist.
Tell us your situation
"Our machines are older and not networked"
ForgeOps reads from edge devices. No cloud dependency required.
"We already have an ERP and can't replace it"
ForgeHub connects to your ERP. You don't replace anything.
"Our compliance requirements are non-standard"
ForgeCompliance is configurable. Show us the standard.
"We have a unique process the standard doesn't fit"
Tell us. That's how ForgePLC, ForgeHMI, and ForgeRobot were built.
Evaluation access reviewed personally. Reach out to discuss what fits your operation.
