AeROS® (Asset Reliability and Operations Simulation)
Request for DemoSystem requirements: Windows 10 or higher on PC.
How AeROS® Works
AeROS® enables users to create a digital twins of production systems to quantify the impact of equipment reliability, maintenance, and operational uncertainty and risk on production performance.
This digital twin forecasts potential future outcomes with a focus on production uncertainties. It delivers key insights into how asset performance and maintenance policies impact production—critical KPIs that reflect the financial health of your production assets.
AeROS integrates Life Data Analysis, Recurring Event Analysis, and production-dependent reliability modelling in a single platform — eliminating the need for separate reliability analysis software before RAM simulation.

What Makes AeROS® the Premier Reliability Simulation Software
AeROS® goes beyond traditional Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) modeling by combining reliability analysis, production system simulation, and operational constraints within a single Reliability Digital Twin environment. It helps engineers quantify how equipment reliability, maintenance strategies, operational uncertainty, and system constraints affect production performance.
Advanced Reliability Modeling
- Supports both repairable equipment-level models and non-repairable component-level life models.
- Features Life-Stress Models based on cumulative damage theory to quantify the impact of production rate on equipment reliability.
- Supports load-sharing configurations where equipment reliability depends on production allocation.
- Supports Time-To-First-Failure analysis for mission, campaign, and early-life reliability studies.
- Enables user-defined CDFs for custom random event modeling.
Production-Centric Simulation
- Models production systems using flow conservation principles to represent realistic production behavior.
- Models flowrate variations using Flowrate Profile constructs.
- Provides a Storage construct for buffering with configurable Full, Empty, High, and Low threshold events.
- Provides a Startup construct to simulate restart delays caused by hidden failure modes.
- Includes a Redundant Resource Manager for complex standby and shared-resource scenarios.
Operational Constraints & Resource Planning
- Incorporates crew and spare-part constraints for realistic maintenance and production scenarios.
- Provides specialized plots for System Availability, System Flowrate, and Spare Availability.
- Features Spare Restock Optimization batch calculations to support spare-parts planning.
Performance Analysis & Improvement Planning
- Quantifies the impact of equipment failures using Critical Loss and Local Loss metrics.
- Includes a Reliability Improvement Allocation tool to identify high-value improvement opportunities.
- Features a Tristate Plot to visualize each item’s operating state—running, standby, or down—alongside its production rate profile, helping users validate and debug complex reliability digital twins.
- Helps identify performance gaps and quantify risks for targeted improvements.
Built-in Reliability Data Analysis
AeROS includes built-in Life Data and Recurring Event analysis tools allowing reliability parameters to be estimated directly within the AeROS environment.
Users can analyze failure time data, suspension data, and recurring event data without exporting the dataset to external reliability software. The analysis results can then be immediately used in the simulation model.
This integrated capability provides several advantages:
- Seamless workflow from data preparation to simulation
- Consistent reliability assumptions between analysis and RAM modeling
- Faster model development without switching between multiple software tools
By combining data analysis and RAM simulation in a single platform AeROS enables engineers to move efficiently from historical failure data → reliability modeling → production and availability simulation.
