The ChiAha tool family

The engines behind our consulting work are also products. Each one handles one kind of problem, and most have a free sandbox you can try in the browser.

Tools

Staffing, siting and the plant floor

Most have their own site with demos, pricing and docs.

Plant floor
ChiAha Edge
Live PLC data, on your network

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.

Use ChiAha from your AI chat

Run the tools inside Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

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.

Rather have us run the model?
