This paper, which was written under the FASTEN project that intends to develop an IoT pilot for manufacturing systems, explores the possibility of existing a fully integrated system, composed of a simulator and an IoT platform, capable of gathering data in real time and producing performance indicators capable of helping in the decision making process.

It should be noted that this paper was written in co-authorship with Symone Alcalá from the Federal University of Goiás, and Enzo Frazzon from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, both from Brazil.

On 25 July, IEOM 2019 was organised by IEOM Society International and the award ceremony was held during the Conference Dinner Award at the Park Hotel Congress Center, in Pilsen, being attended by the authors of the paper.
