CROSS-VENDOR · FACTORY FLOOR INTELLIGENCE

One Schema. Any Manufacturer. Every Machine on Your Floor.

19 verticals·55 manufacturer pages·13 protocols·2,086 mappings

Haas, Fanuc, Siemens, KUKA, DMG Mori, Mazak, ABB, Yaskawa. Every OEM speaks a different language. Forge translates all of them into one canonical schema any AI agent can reason about.

The problem

Every vendor solved naming independently

No manufacturer set out to be incompatible. Each one designed a controller, named its registers sensibly for its own engineers, and shipped. Fanuc exposes FOCAS. Siemens exposes S7 data blocks. KUKA exposes KRL variables. Haas buries production state in Q-variables and macro registers. Every one of those decisions is locally reasonable and collectively unusable.

Your agent does not need a better model to fix that. It needs someone to have already done the translation, with the units checked, the scales checked, and the wrong answers withheld rather than guessed.

What you get

Cross-vendor questions your agent can finally answer

"Which five machines are degrading fastest?"

Requires spindle load to mean the same thing on a Haas and a Mazak. It does, once both are spindle_load_pct with the unit and scale resolved.

"Compare this cell against that cell."

Different cells rarely share a vendor. Normalized fields make a cross-cell comparison arithmetic instead of an integration project.

"What changed before the failure?"

Cross-correlation across mixed vendors only works when the timestamps and field names line up. Forge emits both.

"Roll the whole fleet into one OEE number."

Fleet-level OEE across vendors is a normalization problem long before it is an analytics problem.
