A smart building isn't a building with smart gadgets bolted on — it's a facility where every connected system shares a common network backbone, a unified security posture, and a single management interface. Forged integrates building automation, access control, surveillance, IoT sensors, and lighting controls into your IT and cybersecurity infrastructure so you get operational intelligence without creating a sprawling, unmanageable attack surface.
Central control of HVAC, lighting, and mechanical systems through a unified management platform. Scheduling, setpoints, alarm management, and energy optimization from a single dashboard.
Card readers, biometric scanners, mobile credentials, and visitor management integrated with your directory services. Zone-based access policies enforced at every door.
IP camera systems with retention policies, motion analytics, license plate recognition, and remote viewing. Network-designed for bandwidth demands without choking your business traffic.
Temperature, humidity, water leak, air quality, occupancy, and power monitoring sensors deployed on purpose-built network segments with proper security controls.
Occupancy-based lighting, daylight harvesting, scheduling, and scene control. Integrated with BAS for coordinated energy management and tenant comfort.
IP-based intercom systems, emergency paging, digital signage, and conference room AV — all running on structured network infrastructure with QoS policies to guarantee performance.
We inventory every connected device and system in your facility — or define what needs to be deployed in a new build. Each system is mapped to the network infrastructure that will support it.
We design a network architecture where building systems and IT systems coexist securely. Dedicated VLANs, firewall rules, and access policies ensure IoT devices can't become a backdoor into your business network.
Every device installed, configured, and tested against the design specification. Firmware updated, default credentials eliminated, and monitoring agents deployed before the system goes live.
Smart building systems don't maintain themselves. Forged provides ongoing monitoring, firmware management, and lifecycle planning so your connected infrastructure stays secure and operational.
Network topology showing how every building system connects — VLANs, firewall zones, switch port assignments, and wireless segments. The blueprint for your connected facility.
Every connected device cataloged with IP address, firmware version, credentials (stored securely), and configuration backup. Your single source of truth for all building technology.
Documentation of every cross-system integration — what triggers what, which APIs are in use, and how to troubleshoot when integrations fail. Eliminates the 'nobody knows how this works' problem.
Every IoT device assessed against security best practices — default credentials changed, unnecessary services disabled, firmware current, and network segmentation verified.
Step-by-step procedures for your team — how to add a user to access control, review camera footage, acknowledge BAS alarms, and respond to sensor alerts. Written for operators, not engineers.
Replacement schedules, warranty expirations, and projected costs for every connected device. Plan your capital budget years in advance instead of reacting to failures.
Designing smart building infrastructure from the ground up — structured cabling, network backbone, and system architecture planned before drywall goes up.
Upgrading older facilities with IP-based access control, modern surveillance, and building automation without ripping out everything and starting over.
Shared building systems (access, cameras, HVAC) managed centrally while maintaining tenant isolation, independent billing, and per-tenant access policies.
Environmental monitoring, equipment sensors, and safety systems integrated with plant networks. OT/IT convergence done securely with proper segmentation.
Patient tracking, nurse call integration, environmental monitoring for pharmacy and lab areas, and HIPAA-compliant access control across the facility.
Multi-building campuses with centralized access control, video surveillance, emergency notification systems, and classroom AV — all managed from a single operations center.
