Your backlog of apps that should exist — built today
Every industrial team has a list of applications that would improve how operations run — monitoring dashboards, alert views, health score tools built around the way their plant actually works. They don’t get built because development cycles stretch into months. IRIS Forge changes that: describe what you need in plain language, and Forge generates a production-ready application — UI, data connections, and logic — in a single session. Built on IRIS Foundry, so every app starts from an accurate model of your specific environment, not a generic template.
From idea to deployed application — faster than any development team can move
Faster deployment. Reduce 3–6 month development cycles to days using prompt-driven application generation.
Lower development costs. Convert natural language into working applications instantly — no coding required.
The constraint isn’t ideas. It’s a development process that can’t keep pace with operations.
Custom industrial applications require months of development, testing, and deployment before they add any value — and then more time and cost to maintain. IRIS Forge eliminates that friction. It draws on the data sources, asset hierarchies, and namespaces already configured in IRIS Foundry, so every application it generates reflects your specific environment from the first prompt. No generic templates. No starting from scratch.
Plan, build, and deploy in a single workspace — on your industrial data
IRIS Forge understands your complete operational context — from data structures to user needs. Start with your challenge and explore AI-guided solutions tailored to your environment. Every idea is rooted in real-world context, powered by IRIS Foundry’s deep manufacturing insight.
Turn ideas into working applications through rapid, intelligent iteration using real operational data. Forge recommends optimizations drawn from your unique context, ensuring each version is more aligned with how your operation actually runs.
Deploy using Forge’s industrial framework — powered by IRIS Foundry’s connectors and native integration with your existing systems. Built-in security and access controls turn complex deployment into a matter of hours. No custom integration work required.
Expand enterprise-wide with consistent governance, audit logging, and data lineage built in from the start. Every application inherits IRIS Foundry’s enterprise architecture — role-based access, compliance standards, and the security controls already in place across your organization.
Build industrial apps directly from your IDE with the VS Code Extension
Many of the engineers, developers, and architects building on Forge work primarily in an IDE — switching to a browser to build and iterate creates overhead that compounds fast. The IRIS Forge VS Code Extension brings the full Forge workflow into Visual Studio Code. Describe what you want to build, and Forge generates the complete application codebase into a local folder, with a development server running at localhost for immediate preview. Refinements are prompt-driven from there. The same governed deployment pipeline. The same Foundry data foundation. Now available without leaving your development environment.
Built for every kind of builder
Whether you’re a domain expert, a data engineer, or a software developer — IRIS Forge meets you where you work
Natural language app generation
Describe what you want to build in plain language. Forge generates the complete application — UI components, data connections, and logic — automatically. No coding required, no prompts need to be precisely worded to be understood correctly.
IRIS Foundry data foundation
Every application Forge creates draws directly from the data sources, asset hierarchies, and namespaces already configured in IRIS Foundry. Apps reflect your specific environment from the first prompt.
VS Code Extension
Technical users build and iterate inside Visual Studio Code. Forge generates application code into a local folder, launches a localhost preview automatically, and supports registration and deployment back to Foundry — all from within the IDE.
Governed deployment pipeline
Every application inherits IRIS Foundry’s enterprise governance framework — role-based access controls, audit logging, data lineage, and compliance standards. Built in automatically, regardless of who built the application or how.
Any programming language
Forge is not locked to a specific stack. Generate applications in any programming language — the output is real, editable code that your development team can extend, customize, and maintain.
One-click deploy and scale
Deploy to production from the Forge workspace or from the VS Code Extension. Scale from a single application to an enterprise-wide catalog with consistent governance and access control across every deployment.
Applications that know your plant before you write a single line
IRIS Forge doesn’t generate generic applications — it generates applications built around your operation. Because Forge runs on IRIS Foundry, every prompt has access to your actual data sources, real asset hierarchies, configured namespaces, and operational context. The applications it produces reflect how your plant actually works, not how a template assumes it does.
And because every application deploys through IRIS Foundry’s governed pipeline, the flexibility of natural-language generation never comes at the expense of enterprise controls. Role-based access, audit logging, data lineage, and compliance standards are built in — regardless of whether the application was built in a browser or a VS Code session.
Common questions
What teams ask before deploying IRIS Forge
Yes. IRIS Forge is built on IRIS Foundry — that’s what gives the applications it generates accurate operational context. If you’re not on IRIS Foundry yet, that’s where the conversation starts.
Yes. Forge handles natural language, so instructions don’t need to be precisely worded to be understood correctly. Domain experts and operators describe what they need; Forge generates the application. Technical users who prefer an IDE can use the VS Code Extension instead.
Forge is not locked to a specific stack — it generates applications in any programming language. The output is real, editable code that your development team can extend, customize, and integrate with other systems.
Install the extension from the VS Code marketplace. Describe what you want to build in the Forge panel — Forge generates the complete application codebase into a local working folder and launches a localhost preview automatically. Any existing Forge application can also be downloaded and edited in VS Code, with deployment back to Foundry available from within the IDE.
Every application created through Forge — whether in the browser or via the VS Code Extension — deploys through IRIS Foundry’s governed pipeline. Role-based access controls, audit logging, data lineage, and compliance standards are inherited automatically. The same governance applies regardless of who built the application or how.
