Shape PLC Forge From the Ground Up
We're inviting a small group of controls engineers to work directly with us before launch — giving you real influence over the product while it's still being built.
What Is a Design Partner?
Design partners are controls engineers or teams who use PLC Forge in real work — and give us honest, direct feedback in return. You're not beta testers filling out surveys. You're the people whose opinions actually change the product.
We keep the group small on purpose. Every design partner gets direct access to the team and a real voice in what gets built next.
What You Get
- Early access to PLC Forge before public launch
- Free Pro tier for the duration of the program
- Founding customer pricing when you convert
- Direct line to the product team — not a support queue
- Your workflows and pain points shaping what we build
What We Ask
- Use PLC Forge on real projects (not just demos)
- Kickoff call at the start of the program, plus check-in calls at the 30-, 60-, and 90-day marks
- Candid feedback — what's broken, what's missing, what's great
- 3-month initial commitment
Who We're Looking For
We work best with partners who reflect the environments PLC Forge is designed for.
Rockwell / Allen-Bradley shops
We're launching with full L5X support. If you live in Studio 5000, you're exactly who we built this for.
Mid-to-large projects
The tools that matter most — cross-references, dependency graphs, AI-assisted review — show their value on complex programs.
Privacy-conscious teams
If your shop has strict data policies, PLC Forge's local-first architecture was built with you in mind.
Engineers with opinions
We want partners who'll tell us when something is wrong. Polite silence doesn't help anyone.
Apply to Be a Design Partner
Tell us a bit about your environment and what you'd want to get out of the program. We review every application personally and respond within a few business days.
