Build and automate: what's new with IRIS Flows and Forge

Operational automation usually means one of two things: waiting months for a central development team to build and deploy, or investing in custom workflow engines that never quite match how your teams work. IRIS Flows and IRIS Forge 2.0 offer a different path.

IRIS Flows is a low-code orchestration platform built on agentic AI. Its workflows reason about context and adapt as conditions change, instead of only routing tasks. With 300+ pre-built industrial agents for maintenance, production, and shift operations, teams configure existing workflows rather than building from scratch.

IRIS Forge 2.0 is a prompt-to-production app builder that lets plant engineers deploy custom applications without data science expertise or central IT approval cycles. Forge 2.0 adds deeper Cortex connectivity and a flexible architecture for extending IRIS Foundry with your own applications. Teams go from a natural language description to a live application in hours.

In this 45-minute session, we cover the broader IRIS Foundry 2.0 feature set, then run a live demo of how Flows automates complex operational sequences and how Forge builds tailored applications. We also cover real use cases and the architecture considerations that matter to IT and platform teams.

What you'll learn:

• How agentic workflows in IRIS Flows reason about context and adapt as conditions change.
• How IRIS Forge 2.0 moves from a natural language description to a live application.
• How Forge 2.0 connects to Cortex and extends IRIS Foundry with custom applications.
• The live demo of Flows and Forge, plus the architecture considerations for scaling automation without building a custom platform.

Whether you're looking to remove bottlenecks, broaden application development, or build extensibility into your operations stack, this session connects the automation roadmap to your platform strategy.
