Physics that feels real
Cartons slip, queue, tip and jam, just like on the floor.

AI-first
Describe a line. AI builds it.
Talk to your AI assistant. It suggests, builds what you pick and changes it on request. LineRig speaks MCP and works with the AI subscription you already have.
Why it works for training
Real enough to debug. Simple enough to start.
Write the program you would write for the real line. The simulator answers like one.
Every machine a line needs
Conveyors, sorters, robots, palletizers, AS/RS and safety.
Your real PLC
Plug in your PLC or PLCSIM. Real signals, real conventions.

FAQ
Questions before you download
What is this simulator?
A 3D factory simulator for PLC training and virtual commissioning. You build a production line from conveyors, sensors, pneumatic actuators, safety devices and machines, then run it from a Siemens PLC, PLCSIM Advanced® or the built-in signal panel. Loads are moved only by friction, so they slip, queue and jam the way they do on a real line.
Which PLCs and simulators can I connect?
Siemens S7-1500 and S7-1200 CPUs and S7-PLCSIM Advanced® (V4 to V8) over S7 PUT/GET communication on port 102. In TIA Portal® you enable “Permit access with PUT/GET communication” and use data blocks without optimized block access. PLCSIM Advanced simulates the S7-1500 and, from V8, the S7-1200 G2. The plain S7-PLCSIM (V17–V20) has no documented interface for external applications, so it is not supported.
Can I use it without a PLC?
Yes. In Run mode the Signals card lets you force every output by hand, and buttons, switches and E-stops in the hall can be clicked with the mouse. “All conveyors forward” gets a sample line moving in one click.
Does it run on a Mac?
Yes. The app is built for Windows (x64) and macOS (one universal app for Apple silicon and Intel). PLCSIM Advanced® itself needs an x64 Windows PC or virtual machine; the simulator on the Mac connects to it over the network.
What can I do in the free demo?
The demo is the whole app: every part, the physics, the PLC connection and the AI assistant, which can build any line. Plants of basic parts (belts, rollers, sensors, buttons, the E-stop) run, connect to your PLC and save without limits. A plant with a full-version part, such as a turntable, a palletizer or a stacker crane, runs for 10 minutes of simulated time per run; Reset starts a new run. The demo does not save such a plant.
