The b16 has been used for a exhaust valve controller (for Diesel engines, 
the valve manufacturer had Daimler as customer, but it went into Iveco 
transporters first), a barcode scanner for Datalogic (which never went into 
production, because the division we worked for was favoring laser scanners 
and mostly analog signal processing, while the competing division favored 
CCDs and digital signal processing - and the competing division won, 
especially since they also handle QR codes, something the laser scanners 
can't), and a battery monitor for Apple's mobile products.

Google is your friend, "b16 cpu" is the search term, you don't even need 
"Forth" (b16, for obvious reasons, is not a sufficient search term).
