Vision
Forge is VSI Technologies' industrial Internet platform that unifies operational data from PLCs, sensors, and SCADA systems into a secure, scalable architecture. The platform's data ingestion layer supports MQTT, OPC UA, and REST APIs, streaming raw telemetry into a schema-on-read time-series lakehouse. An edge-compute module runs containerized microservices for low-latency anomaly detection and local control loops. The central analytics engine hosts digital twins that fuse CAD, GIS, and process-simulation models, enabling what-if scenario planning and virtual commissioning. Built-in AI pipelines perform predictive-maintenance forecasting, quality-inspection vision analytics, and energy-optimization scheduling. A collaborative partner portal exposes APIs for OEMs and service providers to co-innovate on new industrial apps. Governance features include policy-as-code for data access, SBOM-verified edge images, and an audit trail for regulatory compliance. Vision
Forge pilots in manufacturing and energy sectors have yielded 25 % OEE improvements, 22 % reduction in unplanned downtime, and 18 % energy savings–demonstrating the power of converged edge and cloud analytics.
