Nowadays, wireless communication has aroused interest and is a tendency in industry environments. In part this interest is due to the ease of deployment and maintenance of this network, which dispenses sophisticated designs and execution of works of deploying cables, which in industrial environment often prohibitively expensive, and enabling the addition of new applications when compared to their wired counterparts. Despite its high degree of applicability, a wireless network faces some technical (reliability, energy consumption, environment interference) and cultural challenges present as the main negative points for the deployment of large-scale industrial networks in the industry. To reduce some these problems, this work presents a system with multiobjective modeling to aid installation and maintenance of devices - sensors and actuators - in industrial wireless networks, allowing the use of controllers in these networks, with emphasis on WirelessHART and ISA100.11a standards, which presents themselves as the most promising solution for industrial wireless networks.
