Recently I have to work with AGV controller to integrate it with .NET application via TCP/IP Socket. Factory is using it to control robots on the factory floor. The only issue is factory is working at 100% capacity (by the way it produces water heaters ) and there is only one controller available to use when one of the production line is not using it. Despite the fact that everything worked OK when I have tested it and during UAT. There are strange issues happening and only way to test those was to put my untested code in production environment. Finally I was able to figure out that Controller is giving up connection once in a while failing to recognize message from .NET or other way around. I still have no idea why it is doing it but at least I was able to provide solution to reconnect and resend. Deploying untested code in the production was scary.
What would you do when there is no way to replicate situations happening in production environment ?

(Seriously though, I sympathize that you had to put untested code into prod.)

I'm in a similar situation WRT a BI tool that's too expensive for us to buy a second license for a dev server; the best option I've found it to keep a supply of medicinal scotch and bourbon at home.
OTOH we at least can schedule our test deployments around when no-one needs the server to be available; which doesn't appear to be the case in your problem.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This problem has been *already* been solved.
Many times over.
Since computers were invented.
By NASA, by the Military, by safety critical industries.
Seek education in their solutions.

I've done that more times than I'd like to admit...
Strange error occurring in production, test on my machine and everything runs fine.
Just make some fix that -could- solve the problem and ask the user to test it.
We don't have any specialized test environment or anything. So if it doesn't work on my computer, or that of a colleague, well, we're forced to test in production.
Actually, only our two biggest customers test our changes in a test environment.
Our other customers can't be bothered by setting up test environments (or have us do it).
So when we've done the 'developer testing' we can put the code in production and pray we've programmed what the customer wanted
Luckily this approach works for us and our customers most of the time (we always keep backups of previous versions in case something breaks).
It's an OO world.

Add a LOT of logging to see what is happening.
Always assume connections are not open and test them before attempting any communication.

Add lots of logging until you are sure you understand what the real problem is (although sometimes you have to take your best guess or add code to fix the symptoms without finding the root cause in a truly complicated system).
I worked on an automated conveyor system at one time. One customer kept having their box counts off and the shipping company was so aggravated they threatened not to ship for the company any more. The programmer tried lots of things to fix the "faulty sensors". The problem was finally solved when he was at the company late one night and saw a bored employee playing with the blinking lights. The employee had no idea it was throwing the shipping counts off.
Production always seems to come up with some combination of circumstances you don't think of.
