title: Synthetic Data from Industrial Sensor Monitoring

description: Synthetic Data from Industrial Sensor Monitoring

OverviewThis collection contains five datasets that simulate sensor readings from different industrial production lines. The data represents measurements of temperature, pressure, and in some cases, elapsed time of industrial machines, with records of normal operating conditions and potential anomalies.

Data Structure

Common FormatAll datasets are in CSV format with the following common fields:- timestamp: Date and time of measurement (format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)- temperature/Temperature: Temperature value in arbitrary units- pressure/Pressure: Pressure value in arbitrary units- label: Binary indicator (0 = normal operation, 1 = anomaly)

Some datasets include an additional field:- elapsed_time/Elapsed_time: Machine runtime in arbitrary units

Data Generation MethodologyThe data were synthetically generated to simulate real operational conditions of industrial production lines. Anomalies were introduced to represent potential failures or abnormal operating conditions. Each dataset represents a different production line with specific characteristics regarding stability and variability.

Suggested Applications- Anomaly detection in industrial environments- Machine failure prediction- Time series analysis of sensor data- Development of predictive maintenance systems- Benchmarking machine learning algorithms for industrial IoT- Comparative analysis of production line stability
