Scenarios were evaluated with this model and the results show the effect of performance increase when variability decreases. Requirements are set to come to real-time control by developing this model into a digital twin as part of a CPPS. It can be concluded that the discreteevent model can be used to predict the performance and take control measures accordingly, subsequently real-time control is possible by implementing real-time sensor measurements in the model, thereby developing the model into a digital twin.
