Operational intelligence
Give operations teams a clearer, more consistent view of production, equipment, processes, and performance.
PRAXNETICS / FORGE / INDUSTRIAL
Forge intelligence from industrial reality.
Forge is Praxnetics' industrial intelligence infrastructure: a secure foundation for connecting operational environments with modern applications, analytics, automation, and AI.
Powered by PX Industrial Connect, Forge brings data from machines, equipment, industrial systems, and enterprise platforms together-without replacing the systems that already run your operations.
FORGE / POWERED BY PX INDUSTRIAL CONNECT
CONNECT THE PHYSICAL WORLD TO INTELLIGENCE.
Forge / Foundation
Your operations already generate the data. Forge turns it into a usable foundation for intelligence.
Industrial environments are rarely built as one connected system. Equipment, control systems, production applications, historians, enterprise platforms, and newer digital systems often operate across different technologies, generations, and vendors.
The result is fragmented operational data that can be difficult to access consistently, govern securely, and use across the business.
Forge creates a trusted operational-data foundation between your industrial environment and the applications that need its data. Its underlying connectivity layer, PX Industrial Connect, gives teams a reusable way to connect, standardize, govern, and deliver industrial information without repeatedly solving the same integration problem.
Forge / What it enables
One industrial foundation. Many possibilities.
Securely make industrial data available wherever operational value can be created.
AI & advanced analytics
Provide AI and analytics systems with governed operational data from across the industrial environment.
Production optimization
Bring together the information required to improve planning, scheduling, throughput, utilization, and operational decision-making.
Predictive maintenance
Make equipment and operating data available to systems that identify deterioration, anomalies, and emerging maintenance needs.
Energy & resource intelligence
Connect operational information with energy, resource, and sustainability applications.
Custom industrial applications
Build new digital products and workflows on a reusable operational-data foundation-not point-to-point integrations.
Forge / Connected estate
Connect across the industrial environment.
Designed for heterogeneous industrial estates where equipment and systems from different generations and vendors must work together.
Industrial equipment & machinery
Production machines, processing equipment, utilities, sensors, meters, and other operational assets.
Control & automation environments
Existing industrial automation and control infrastructure.
Operational software
Manufacturing, production, quality, maintenance, laboratory, warehouse, and operational-management systems.
Enterprise systems
ERP, supply chain, asset management, planning, and other enterprise platforms.
Modern data & AI environments
Cloud platforms, data platforms, analytics environments, AI applications, and Praxnetics solutions.
Your existing operational technology remains where it belongs.
Forge is designed to complement your industrial environment rather than require a wholesale replacement of it. PX Industrial Connect operates as the secure connectivity foundation beneath the product.
Forge / Operating model
From isolated data to connected operations.
A repeatable path from secure access to scalable delivery.
- 01
Connect
Establish secure access to the operational data required by your use case.
- 02
Standardize
Turn fragmented industrial information into data that applications can work with consistently.
- 03
Govern
Control how operational information is accessed, managed, and made available.
- 04
Deliver
Provide trusted industrial data to applications, analytics, workflows, and AI systems.
- 05
Scale
Expand from an initial facility or use case without rebuilding the connectivity foundation every time.
Forge / Industrial by design
Built for real industrial environments.
Industrial connectivity is not simply an IT integration problem. Reliability, security, existing infrastructure, and controlled change matter.
OT-aware by design
Designed to work alongside established operational systems rather than interfere with the systems responsible for running production.
Security-first connectivity
Controlled access, strong identity, encrypted communications, governed deployment, and auditable operations.
Edge and enterprise ready
Handle data close to industrial assets while still serving enterprise and cloud applications.
Vendor-neutral approach
Avoid making every new application dependent on a single manufacturer, platform, or technology generation.
Built for expansion
Start with a defined operational problem, then extend to additional assets, systems, facilities, and applications.
Forge / Industrial AI
Build AI on operational reality.
AI in industrial environments is only as useful as the operational information available to it. Forge establishes the governed operational-data foundation required for production-grade industrial AI.
Production optimization
Equipment-health intelligence
Anomaly detection
Predictive maintenance
Quality intelligence
Energy optimization
Operational copilots
Industrial knowledge systems
Planning & scheduling intelligence
Custom AI-driven workflows
Praxnetics combines Forge with custom AI engineering to take projects from industrial data acquisition to production-grade operational intelligence.
Forge / Where it works
Designed for high-value industrial use cases.
One foundation, adapted to the operational context.
Manufacturing
Connect production environments with applications for performance, scheduling, maintenance, quality, and optimization.
Process industries
Make operational information available across complex process environments for monitoring, analysis, and decision support.
Utilities & infrastructure
Connect distributed operational assets with modern intelligence and operational-management applications.
Logistics & industrial facilities
Bring equipment, facility, operational, and enterprise information together to improve visibility and coordination.
Multi-site operations
Create a consistent foundation for operational applications across plants, facilities, or distributed assets.
Forge / How we engage
Start with the problem. Not the technology.
You do not need to modernize an entire industrial estate before creating value. Praxnetics starts with a specific operational objective.
That may be improving production planning, creating equipment visibility, enabling predictive maintenance, connecting a new AI application, or providing a unified operational view.
We assess the systems and data involved, establish the required connectivity, and build toward the business outcome. From there, Forge can expand into a reusable industrial intelligence foundation for additional assets, facilities, workflows, and applications.
Forge + Praxnetics
The complete path from operations to intelligence.
Instead of delivering an isolated AI model, Praxnetics can engineer the complete path between your operational environment and the intelligence layer above it.
Industrial systems→Connected operational data→Applications, workflows & AI→Better decisions
Forge what comes next
Your industrial environment does not need another disconnected application.
It needs an intelligence foundation that allows the systems you already have-and the systems you build next-to work together.
