Simio LLC

The company Simio LLC was established to deliver leading edge solutions for the design, emulation, and scheduling of complex systems. The name Simio comes from SImulation Modeling framework based on Intelligent Objects.

A private company headquartered in Sewickley, Pittsburgh, PA, Simio is dedicated to delivering the best possible suite of simulation and production scheduling tools. Simio’s global network of partners spans the world, with representation in more than 28 countries. More than 800 universities, internationally, choose Simio’s powerful, high quality software for simulation education. Simio holds 2 patents on its products: A System and Method for Creating Intelligent Simulation Objects using Graphical Process Descriptions (Patent No. 8,156,468 C1) and Simulation-Based Risk Analysis for Finite Capacity Scheduling (Patent No. 8,682,707 B2).

C. Dennis Pegden, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Simio, has over 30 years of experience in simulation and scheduling and has been widely recognized as an industry leader. He developed SLAM and then founded Systems Modeling Corporation, now part of Rockwell Automation. Dr.Pegden led the creation of the market-leading simulation products SIMAN® and Arena®, as well as the finite capacity scheduling product Tempo, later renamed RS Scheduler.

Next Generation Simulation Software

The only software that is fully object oriented, Simio defines processes and objects step-by-step, graphically, with no programming required. Fast and easy portrayal of components allows analysis and removal of risk from complex systems.

Simio Simulation Software

• optimizes the use of critical resources
• predicts the impact of proposed process changes
• improves performance through optimized facility design

Risk-Based Production Scheduling Software

Simio’s patented risk analysis function allows variations in production schedules to simulate imperfect environments. This provides the necessary information to schedulers to allow them to optimize for peak performance.

Simio Risk-Based Production Scheduling Software

• estimates process risks using probabilistic analysis
• ensures operation always meets user-defined targets
• mitigates risk and uncertainty to reduce costs

The Only Software That Can Truly Become A Digital Twin!

A Digital Twin, or Device Shadow, provides an actual virtual representation of all the elements involved in an operation. This allows its performance to be studied and optimized, avoiding potential problem areas to achieve optimal outcomes.

Working as a Digital Twin, Simio software

• models production processes, including Industry 4.0
• interacts with MES/MRP/ERP systems in Real Time
• optimizes schedules and reschedules when required.
