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.
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: under 10 seconds.
Design
ForgeCAD
Engineering truth. Verified, certified, traceable.
The only CAD platform that ships a signed test manifest on every release. Every geometry operation is formally certified. Every design decision is traced into operations — CAM programs, machine job queues, maintenance procedures.
pip install forgecad
ForgeCertify
2,223 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.
ForgeSchematics
ECAD and MCAD in sync.
Live two-way integration between your electrical schematic tools and ForgeCAD. IDF import/export, unified BOM, harness routing, and clearance checks — before the PCB is ordered.
Manufacturing
ForgeMachine
The machine lifecycle graph.
The authoritative record of every machine: subsystems, PLC I/O catalog, revision history, fault history, PM records, job history. Every other Forge product reads from this graph.
ForgeMaint
Maintenance intelligence.
Work orders generated automatically from machine events. Repeat failures escalated to engineering. PM intervals optimised from outcome data. Technician performance tracked.
ForgeOps
From machine event to decision.
ForgeOps monitors every machine, diagnoses every fault, dispatches maintenance autonomously, escalates to engineering when it needs to, and initiates procurement — all from the same event that triggered the alarm.
ForgeProcure
BOM-driven purchasing.
Procurement that reads directly from the ForgeCAD bill of materials. Vendor management, purchase orders, reorder automation, and material costs that feed straight into ForgeOps job costing.
Platform
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.
ForgeRecovery
Continuous backup. Verified restores.
Point-in-time restore for every Forge product. RPO under 5 minutes. Restores are verified automatically — you know backups work before you need them.
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.
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.
Why Trust Forge?
Industrial software fails quietly. We built ForgeCertify so you don't have to take our word for it.

ForgeHub
A design revision in ForgeCAD triggers a job update in ForgeMachine. A machine alert in ForgeMaint surfaces in ForgeOps. A quote approval in ForgeOps creates a draft PO in ForgeProcure. ForgeHub is the connective tissue.
Learn about ForgeHubDeployment
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
Fault-to-work-order in 8 seconds vs 2–4 hours. Repeat failures that become design changes instead of recurring repairs. Engineering changes that reach every machine, not just the ones the email reached.
