Station
A workstation that processes a part for a set cycle time. It has a state: idle, working or blocked. From its utilization and takt you learn the line throughput.

ModelFactory is a browser-based discrete event simulation (DES) tool. Build production scenarios, find bottlenecks and compute the ROI of every investment — before you spend a złoty on the floor.

What is ModelFactory?
It is a discrete event simulation tool — it reproduces the flow of material through stations, buffers, cranes and transport over time. Instead of guessing how a change will affect production, you run it virtually and watch takt, WIP, utilization and throughput.
Everything happens in the browser — no installs, no costly licenses. You build the model from ready-made blocks and see the result as an animation that both the boardroom and the operator understand.
WHAT THE MODEL IS MADE OF
Three blocks you build the plant from
BUFFER · CAP 53 / 5
Buffer
An inter-operation store for work in progress (WIP). It has limited capacity — when it fills up, it blocks the stations upstream. This is where you see the queue grow before the bottleneck.
Crane1×
AGV2×
Operators4×
Resources
Shared cranes, AGVs and operators that serve many stations. When several stations wait for the same resource, an invisible transport bottleneck appears.
WHAT IT IS FOR
Bottlenecks
See which station blocks the line and how much WIP is queued — before you stop the floor.
Investment ROI
Add a station, crane or operator and compute how much you gain on takt and throughput.
Scenarios side by side
Compare line variants in one view. A decision based on numbers, not gut feel.
Shared resources
Cranes, AGVs and operators as a shared resource — expose invisible transport bottlenecks.
HOW YOU BUILD THE CONFIG
From an empty canvas to a running line
You assemble the whole model visually — drag elements, connect them with paths and set parameters. No code, in the browser.
01
Layout
Drag stations, buffers and resources onto the canvas and arrange them just like on your floor.
02
Connections
Connect elements with flow paths — conveyors and transport — defining the route a part travels.
03
Parameters
Set cycle times, buffer capacities, resource counts and routing rules for different product variants.
04
Run and compare
Launch the simulation, read takt, WIP and utilization live, and line variants up side by side.
ROUTING
Every product has its own route
A routing is the order of operations a product follows — from the first to the last station. Different product variants can take different routes, and the simulator guides every part along them step by step.

What you configure
Operation order
The sequence of stations for each product variant.
Alternative paths
Routing a part to one of the parallel stations — load balancing.
Conditional branching
Different routes for different variants (MTO, mass customization, production mix).
Resources per step
Which step needs a crane, AGV or operator — and how long it occupies it.
HISTORICAL DATA
Insights from your real data
Feed the model with history from ModelMES — operation times, OEE and downtime. The simulator calibrates to how the line actually ran and turns raw data into concrete insights.
01
Feed data from MES
Import order history, cycle times, downtime and OEE — without manual entry.
02
Calibrate the model
The simulation replays the past period and matches the real takt — you can be sure the model reflects the floor.
03
Draw the conclusions
See what really constrained production and how much each change improves it — before you roll it out.
INSIGHTS REPORT · LINE 1PERIOD: 90 DAYS
Bottleneck: Assembly (ASM-01) — 87% utilization, takt stuck at 6.0 s/pc.
A second assembly station cuts takt to 3.0 s (−50%), throughput +96%.
A buffer before packaging (CAP 5) eliminates 18% of upstream blocking.
ROI of the ASM-02 investment: estimated payback in ~4 months.
BARRIER TO ENTRY
The lowest barrier to entry for a process engineer
Classic DES tools mean weeks of rollout, an IT department and licenses for tens of thousands of euros. You start ModelFactory on your own — from a link in the browser.
NO INSTALL
Runs in the browser
You open the model with a link — you deploy nothing on computers or servers.
NO CODE
You build visually
You drag ready-made blocks — stations, buffers, resources. No programming.
NO LICENSE
Start for 0 zł / 60 days
Instead of tens of thousands of euros a year — a free trial period without a card.
NO IT DEPARTMENT
You do it yourself
A process engineer builds, runs and compares the model alone — no queue to IT.
Count first. Then change the floor.
