The engines behind our consulting work are also products. ReliaSim® is the main one: production lines, discrete rate flow, supply chain networks and ReliaStats® downtime data, all at reliasim.com. The others each handle one kind of problem. Most have a free sandbox you can try in the browser.
ReliaSim models how a line, a plant or a supply chain really runs, stops and all, so you can ask what would happen if you changed a machine, a buffer or a site before you spend on it. The four parts below all live at reliasim.com, and each one has its own tier in the free ReliaSim Sandbox.
Build a line from its machines, buffers and each machine’s stops, then test a change before you make it on the floor. Validated within 1% of measured OEE.
The rate-based method Andrew Siprelle created in 1990, with teaching models you can run: Fast-Slow Drain, Hamburger Duo and Valdez Tanker.
Decide where the plants and warehouses go, then run orders, stock and shipments day by day. See what a tariff or a fuel price does to the answer.
Turn a stop log or historian export into the time-to-failure and time-to-repair curves a model runs on. ReliaStats® is part of ReliaSim now.
Each of these handles one kind of problem. Most have their own site with demos, pricing and docs.
An industrial box on the plant floor reads your PLCs, keeps the data on your network, and feeds your dashboards, MQTT broker and simulation model live.
Run any of four preset scenarios (single server, coffee shop, grocery checkout, call center), watch the queue form, and ask the on-page agent to interpret the result. Pairs with the public MCP for use inside Claude.
Candidate facility locations from your own customer and demand data, in minutes.
Run your emergency department's numbers, compare staffing scenarios, see the wait-time and cost tradeoff. Developed in conjunction with the University of Tennessee Physician Executive MBA program.
Simulate decoupling strategies for flaked product lines in seconds. Test off-ramp dryers, tote storage and on-ramp reconstitution modules against real production data before you build them.
Dynamic mass-energy balance for thermal processing. Coaches operators in real time. 13% energy reduction, 0 safety incidents.
Six public Model Context Protocol servers, listed in the official MCP registry, put these tools inside your AI chat. Ask a staffing, OEE or queueing question and the assistant calls the real simulation engine, then answers with its numbers. The public servers need no login or API key.

If you'd rather hand us the question than learn a tool, we can build and run the ReliaSim model for you, from your own stop data to a written recommendation.
