Every process / batch vendor names the same measurement differently. Forge maps 3 of them into one canonical field set so your agent reads one shape.
| OEM | Vertical | Protocols | Coverage | Mapped |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical process | process / batch | OPC UA Modbus TCP MQTT Sparkplug B BACnet/IP | 96% | 10 fields |
| Food & beverage process | process / batch | OPC UA Modbus TCP MQTT Sparkplug B BACnet/IP | 96% | 10 fields |
| Pharma process (GMP) | process / batch | OPC UA Modbus TCP MQTT Sparkplug B BACnet/IP | 96% | 10 fields |
One real example per vendor: the clearest illustration of why a per-vendor parser does not scale.
