RBD software tools offer many advantages.

First, RBD software tools enable you to provide a visual layout of your product, process, or system, including redundant components, branches, and switch delays and probabilities. This visual depiction is not only advantageous for understanding a complex system model, but is necessary in order to accurately compute availability metrics.

Secondly, RBD computational engines use known mathematical techniques, sometimes including Monte Carlo simulation, to provide metrics that are difficult, or perhaps impossible, to compute manually. The speed and accuracy provided with complete RBD analysis tools is unmatched.

Additionally, RBD plots provide insight into the lifetime performance of your system. RBD plots enable you to view an array of important metrics over time such as availability, downtime, failure rate, and hazard rate.

Lastly, RBDs are inherently complex. Managing the evaluation of reliability metrics of complete systems without a software tool is unwieldy and error-prone.

Best-in-class RBD software offers several distinct features:

• Complete system modeling supporting a comprehensive set of failure and repair distributions
• Support for a variety of redundant configurations, including series, hot standby, cold standby, warm standby, and parallel, and their associated switch delays and switch probabilities
• Elegant and visually pleasing diagrams for ease of use and understanding
• A capable calculation engine that automatically determines which computational methods to employ
• A wide range of reliability and availability output metrics
• An array of RBD plot types for lifetime performance assessment
• An Analytics Calculator for computing point-based metrics
• Support for sub-diagrams to managing large scale systems and subsystem reusability
• Diagram and Block Libraries for reusability and efficient diagram and data management
• Integration with other reliability software tools for maximum efficiency
• Support for Optimal Replacement calculations
• Ability to perform Allocation calculations
• Dashboard capabilities for graphical results and high-level overviews
• Support for either online or on-premise reliability block diagram creation based on your requirements

Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) analysis is one of the more technically complex and instrumental software tools in the reliability analyst’s tool suite. RBDs provide the ability to analyze complex systems and offer real insight into performance – including important metrics such as availability and failure frequency.

Because Relyence RBD offers an easy-to-use user interface for constructing block diagrams, a sophisticated calculation engine that computes a vast array of metrics, supports the generation of various plot types, and provides tools to calculate optimal replacement and allocations, it has become the go-to tool for RBD analysis. Our technical excellence is backed up with our Relyence name – a name synonymous with excellence across the board. Relyence consistently delivers unrivaled product design and unparalleled customer service and support. It is why Relyence is the trusted name in RBD software.
