FIELD REPORTS FROM PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENTS
"We replaced a $2.1M Siemens SIMATIC deployment with Forge in 11 weeks. The API-first approach meant our existing SAP integration just worked — no SI, no surprises."
Marcus Whitfield
Director of Plant IT
Precision Dynamics Corp
"Our DevOps team deployed Forge on our existing Kubernetes cluster in a morning. The Swagger docs are complete, the webhooks are reliable, and the p99 latency is exactly what they claim."
Priya Raghunathan
Lead Integration Architect
Nexus Electronics Assembly
"I was told to digitize 23 production lines with zero downtime and half the budget. Forge's containerized deployment and pre-built ERP connectors made that possible."
