The reference agent

Proof the vocabulary works, not the product.

Forge ships a working agent on top of its own canonical model — prediction, diagnosis, OEE, shift reports and work orders. It exists to prove the schema is complete enough to build on. If you are building your own agent or platform, this is what you get to skip.

The solution

Forge prevents the failure, explains it, and proves it.

PREDICT

Failure predictions validated 30 hours before breakdown. The kernel catches degradation patterns across your fleet before any single sensor triggers an alarm. One caught failure pays for a decade of monitoring.

DIAGNOSE

Root-cause analysis in plain English. When something's wrong, the kernel correlates telemetry across sensors and tells you what failed, why, and what to do about it, with parts and cost estimates.

GOVERN

Every reading, prediction, and action is hash-chained and tamper-evident. Not because we think your agents will fail, but because your compliance team needs proof they didn't. Read-only. Supervised. Verifiable.

Read-only by design

Forge reads your equipment data through standard industrial protocols. It never sends commands to your machines. MTConnect, OPC UA reads, Modbus reads, MQTT subscriptions, all read-only. Your equipment cannot be controlled, altered, or damaged through Forge.

An agent can recommend. Only your operator can act.

Built-in intelligence

What Forge does when no other agent is connected.

The kernel ships with a built-in intelligence agent that proves the platform works on your data. Everything below runs on the same normalized data layer your agents will use.

Predict
Trend and threshold-breach forecasting on your own history, with per-machine calibration. Horizon and confidence are returned with every prediction.
Operate
Real-time OEE. Energy consumption with anomaly detection. Automatic shift reports with an AI narrative.
Diagnose
Root-cause analysis using telemetry correlation and AI reasoning. Spare parts prediction with cost estimation.
Act
Supervised automations with an approval workflow. CMMS integration. Work order drafting with parts and costs.
