The independent proving ground for autonomous forklifts
FireLoop Forge is the closed-loop evaluation that proves a forklift's driving policy is safe and capable — before it's cleared to deploy on the floor.
An independent verdict
We build neither the robot nor its stack — so the coverage-based pass/fail is one an enterprise buyer, insurer, and regulator can actually trust.
A closed evaluation loop
Your real driving stack runs as a black box in a digital twin of the site — tested against its hardest scenarios and the safety standards, then banked as evidence.
A forklift must pass three kinds of proof
A robot has to clear more than a safety audit. FireLoop runs all three proofs a deployment demands — in one graded loop.
Does it do the job — and survive the site's hard edges?
Tests like
Dock trailer-creep, blind-corner pedestrian, multi-AMR deadlock.
Does it clear the mandatory safety floor to be sold and CE-marked?
Tests like
ISO 3691-4 personnel-detection stop, control-system safety integrity.
Does it match — or beat — industry best practice?
Tests like
B56.5 / NIST detect-and-stop, VDA 5050 fleet interoperability.
How it works
A formal evaluation loop — every test traces to a standard, benchmark, or functional requirement, run hardest-case-first and banked as evidence.
Ingest the real stack (SIL)
Plan the test matrix — standards · benchmark · functional
Run each case in the site's digital twin
Score — function · safety · benchmark
Search the next case — hardest-first
Bank the evidence — regression pack + audit trail
A test program, not ad-hoc fault-finding — every run scored, banked, and repeatable. Built on the NVIDIA physical-AI stack (Isaac Sim / Lab, Omniverse, Cosmos).
Every test traces to a real requirement
Not scenarios we invented — each maps to a standard clause, a published test method, or a documented failure. A passing result is evidence a buyer and an insurer can actually trust.
Standards-mapped evidence
There is no independent, reproducible benchmark for autonomous forklifts today — the bar is a vendor's unaudited word. FireLoop makes the verdict independent, coverage-based, and repeatable, and banks a tamper-evident evidence pack behind every result.

Physical proving is too slow, too costly, and too dangerous to build the safety case on. FireLoop compresses it to weeks.
